  Then he whispered in her ear, “I want to see you happy. I cannot wait to see what you do for our people.” Laying his hand on her belly, he added, “I want to see you healthy and glowing as you carry our daughter.”

  “Our daughter.” Elaina chuckled, though shivers of happiness ran up her spine. “That’s rather specific.”

  “Call it a hunch.” He took her hand and twirled her around once. “I want to dance with you out here under the stars when the children are all tucked in bed. I want your face to be the last thing I see before I leave to meet the Maker.

  Elaina, the stars called.

  Elaina paused, tilted her head, and listened, a smile coming to her face as she did, and perhaps just a bit of blushing.

  “What are they saying?” he asked.

  She turned around and wrapped her arms around him, leaning in for a kiss. “They say that’s a long list.”

  He laughed and crouched down. In one smooth motion, he’d tucked his arms beneath her knees, lifted her in the air, and twirled her in a circle. “Well then, we had better get started.”

  About the Author

  Brittany, her Prince Charming, and their little fairy live in a sparkling (decently clean) castle in whatever kingdom the United States Air Force has most recently placed them. When she’s not writing, Brittany is usually exploring with her family, cleaning the castle (she would rather be writing), going to church, belting Disney songs, and decorating cakes.
