“Yeah,” she said softly, closing her eyes and listening to the sound of his hear beating right by her ear. He pulled her back so she could look into his eyes. His expression was so serious.

“There isn’t anything in this world I wouldn’t do for you and Lyric, you know that, right?” He smoothed a stray piece of hair off her forehead. “That’s how much I love you two.” Rory leaned down and kissed her softly. “I’d do anything for you two. You’re my girls. I only want to make you guys happy. Always.”

She curled into him even more, wrapped her arms around his hard body, and closed her eyes again. “I love you, too, and you make us so very happy.”

They were silent for a moment, the sound of Lyric gabbing to herself and her toys making them both laugh.

“This is utterly … perfect.”

Yes. Yes, it was.

The end.
