They broke the kiss, laughing. “This is what we asked for,” Ian said with a grin.
He stepped over to the door and swung it open. “Mr. Dare! I’m sorry. She got away from me.”
“That’s okay, Loretta. I’ve got her,” Riley said, rushing over to her crying daughter.
“We’ve got her,” Ian said. He grabbed her and lifted her up into his arms. “Let’s go clean you up, princess. Then you can get back to your cousins.”
Riley slipped her hand into his and together they took care of their daughter and headed back to enjoy Christmas day with the family. After all, they had a lot to celebrate.
