“It’s a trip,” Abby explained.
Melissa smiled. “We’ve booked you on a four-star vacation to Italy, so you can recreate your honeymoon, only this time in comfort and style.”
“Oh, my stars.” Diana put a hand to her head. When she began to sway, her husband slipped a steadying arm around her shoulders.
“I think your mom has had a bit too much excitement for one day.” Frank chuckled. “Or maybe a little too much of the vino.”
“I’ve only had two glasses. Or was it three?” Instead of elbowing him in the side as he expected, she laughed and refocused on her children. “Regardless, thank you all for such wonderful, thoughtful presents.”
Abby exchanged a relieved glance with Melissa. “We wanted to give you and Dad the perfect gift to celebrate your years of happiness together.”
“You already have,” Frank said, his voice thick with emotion.
He shifted his gaze from Abby and Greg to Melissa and Josh before letting it linger on his beautiful wife, Diana. A wedding in the spring. A grandbaby next summer. A wonderful woman to share his days and nights. Who could ask for more?
