Chapter 52
Til Death & Beyond
Chloe
Three months later…
I stand beaming up at my husband. We did it. We’ve said our vows again in front of everyone. I love this man more than I ever have.
Now that I know what my sister had been hiding from me, I know he did the right things to keep me from behind bars. All in all, I know this man would do anything to keep me happy and my sister safe.
“I love you,” I purr as he leans in to kiss me.
He kisses me passionately as he holds me tight. My life flashes before my eyes. We lost so much time, but we’ve been making the time we do have worth it.
“I love you too,” he says against my lips. “Always have, always will, Mrs. Hennessy.”
“Mommy, Mommy,” Chloe calls as she comes running toward us.
My heart squeezes. It does every time she calls me that. She’s been doing so for a few weeks now. I’ve been in a much better headspace.
Dr. Keller has helped a lot. However, the playroom has worked its magic as well. We have our own language in there.
I bend to pick Chloe up. “Hey, sweetie,” I coo once she’s in my arms.
She cups my face. “Mommy is pretty, right Daddy?” she says as she turns to Gregor.
“Yes, baby. Mommy is pretty. She’s the most beautiful bride I’ve ever seen.”
“You’re not bad yourself,” I say to him with a smile.
“How about I dance with my family?”
He takes Chloe into his arms and wraps his free one around my waist, guiding us out to the dance floor. I look up at him with a face-splitting smile.
“This. This is everything.”
“Too an eternity of this,” Gregor murmurs and kisses my nose. When he pulls away, Chloe palms his cheeks and kisses his nose like he did mine. I laugh and wrap my arms around them.
This is my family, my forever.
