Lifeline

This woman has not only saved my life multiple times but given me the most amazing kids.

“What are you thinking?” she asks before taking a sip of the wine.

“How blessed I am,” I answer honestly. “How much I love you.”

She reaches across the table for my hand, our fingers weaving. “Still give me butterflies, O’Brien.”

“Still take my breath away, JJ.” I nod at the food. “Eat, baby. You’re going to need your strength tonight.”

JJ chuckles as she spears some calamari. “Yes, sir.”

The End.
