“Sunshine,” he said.
I nodded as we watched the two people we knew we couldn’t live without.
“Sunshine.”

As the night began winding down and everyone got ready to head home, Neverra gestured me close, digging through her handbag.
“I got it just in time,” she whispered, handing me the small box. “It’s a great idea, and it only took Logan and me a few hours to track down the booth.”
“I’m glad Logan isn’t mad anymore. Sorry about getting you in trouble.”
She waved it off. “Don’t worry about it. That’s what friends are for. Besides, Logan loves makeup sex, so we are fine.”
I laughed. “I really appreciate it. Everything,” I told her, meaning far more than just the last few weeks.
She smiled softly, her eyes filled with understanding. “While we were there, I got this done, too. I gave Immy one, and I have one. This one is for you if you want it,” she said hesitantly, digging through her bag again and pulling out a picture frame. It was the picture she’d taken the night she and Imogen had stayed over. I took the frame, my heart clenching.
“Now you have two more sisters,” Neverra said.
I hugged her, and she giggled, surprised.
“Sorry,” I said, pulling back.
“Don’t be.” She put her purse over her shoulder. “Goodnight, Dianna.”
“Night,” I said and waved.
Neverra turned and hurried to Logan. He held out his hand, and she walked into his arms. He wrapped her in a hug, brushing a kiss to her hair before they walked away. I went back inside and placed the picture on the mantle beside the one of Gabby and me at the beach. I had moved it downstairs so she could be a part of our home.
“You are right, Gabby. I like them.”
A star twinkled at me through the open window. I blew it a kiss and headed upstairs with the small box.
The room was quiet, the lights off, which meant he hadn’t moved since he came up here. They flickered on as I walked in. A smile broke across my face to see Samkiel sprawled out face first on the bed. I took a running leap and jumped on his back, making him groan.
“That didn’t hurt, you big baby.” I wrapped my arms around him, placing a kiss to his cheek.
“That wasn’t so hard, was it?”
“Depends on what we are talking about.”
I raised my hand, popping him on the shoulder as he laughed beneath me.
“No,” he said, his eyes still closed. “It could have been a lot worse, given you threatened Vincent in front of The Hand.”
“You’re lucky that is all I did after what he said to you.” I sat up, running my fingers up and down his spine.
“What about what he said about you?”
“I’ve been insulted by far scarier men.” My finger traced a line across his back, the muscles beneath it twitching. “One even called me a worm and said I was beneath him, although he stays beneath me more often than not now.”
Samkiel’s laugh filled the room. He flipped underneath me, his hands cupping my hips.
“I got you something,” I said, wiggling against him.
“Did you now?” He shifted underneath me. “Is it beneath this pretty little dress?”
