Lots of people don’t mate for life. But, I have. Lots of people are born skeptics. I’m no longer one of those. A butterfly floats above us and I smile. It’s blue and purple.
Aunt Nelle had a big gawdy but awesome necklace with a turquoise and purple butterfly that looked just like it. Just exactly like it.
My heart leaps. Wow. Aunt Nelle.
I feel like the luckiest girl in the world as Tyson spills inside me and the butterfly hovers there for a moment, then flits through the wall of water.
I mouth, “Thank you, Aunt Nelle.”
