“No way.”
Henry looked struck. I got up and pinched his cheek, “Don’t start being mean to Pete now. He’s getting married next week.”
“I sure as hell will get back at him,” he said through gritted teeth.
I pulled up and brushed his lips with my own. He swept his hand on my belly, making his way down to my thighs gently. I grinned.
“By the way, if I attend the senior high prom, you’re going to be my date,” I joked.
He smiled, “Isn’t it over already though?”
“This year’s got delayed because of some virus. We were lucky to have gotten over with the finals and the entrance tests.”
“Then yes, sweetheart. We’re so dancing through the prom night. Do we take Adam along as well?”
“Kelly will watch over him. Or I can ask Shinoda.”
“You know Anna…”
“Yeah?”
“Let’s make it work. Our family, our jobs, our kids… let’s make all of it work.”
“We will, Henry. We will.”
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
He leaned down to catch my lips between his teeth. He kissed me gently, passionately. I pressed into him, thrilled by the rapid beating of my heart. I wonder how I still manage to be so excited by this man. The love of my life. Henry Hathaway.
Life is good with him. Life is great.
With him by my side, my every day is the promise of a happily ever after.
A fairy tale with a haphazard, perfect ending. A beginning we created together, the end of which we are yet to see.
A happy ending it will be, perhaps.
