Renata lay back against her pillows, staring around her crowded room. There was so much love here.
“You okay?” Ash asked, bending low to kiss her.
“A little overwhelmed,” she admitted, smiling up at him. “We’re blessed, Ash. To have all this.”
“And each other.” He kissed her again. “Every day is an adventure.”
“Unexpected?” she asked.
“In the best possible way.” He chuckled.
She stared up at him, marveling—as always—that this wonderful man was her husband. “I’m glad you chose to love me, Ash.”
“I’m not sure I had a choice, Renata. You belong here,” he whispered, pressing her hand over his heart. The love in his eyes shone bright. “And I belong to you.”
