If You Give A Girl A Viscount
Page 27
Harry cleared his throat. “And any day you care to remind yourself and the world that you were all brought together for a reason—by love—to create your own very special clan.”
“Know that this tartan design symbolizes our esteem and love for you,” Molly said softly.
Poppy took Molly’s arm. “Indeed, it does.”
Charlie couldn’t speak for a moment.
“You’re part of our clan,” he eventually said, his voice full of gratitude as he looked around him. “Every person here today.”
He looked down at baby Barnabas and kissed his forehead.
“Thank you,” Daisy uttered with feeling as she clung to Charlie’s arm. “We love you all.”
And then she kissed her viscount, the one that had been given to her. Once again she thanked her lucky stars that the man who’d been the emissary for her godmother had become so much more than a guardian of sorts.
They were true partners.
Soul mates.
She handed off the new kilt to Harry, and with loving care, Charlie handed Barney back to his mother. Together, they laughed softly over their new son’s bundled form, then walked over the drawbridge and into Castle Vandemere, the people who were dearest in the world to them following close behind.
