He stood up and laid our son on the bed beside my leg, tucked the covers over him, and then moved until his fists were on either side of my head.
“You gave me a gift today, baby.”
My eyes warmed as I tipped my face up.
He dropped his mouth down on mine, then pulled back and said, “Thank you.”
I wrapped one arm around him and tucked my face into his neck.
“You shouldn’t be thanking me when you were the one to give me everything I ever asked for,” I told him breathlessly.
He turned his face until he could press his lips to my forehead, then said, “I love you, Codie.”
I looked up to meet his eyes. “I love you back, Ace.”
