“Does it feel real?” Kelsey asked.

Isabella tilted her head and grabbed Kelsey’s hand. “Since the day we met, it’s felt magical.”

“Yeah.” Kelsey nodded. “It doesn't matter if it’s island time or real time, it’s always magical. I don’t see that ever changing.”

“Me neither,” Isabella replied.

Kelsey looked down the hall then quickly kissed Isabella on the lips. “I love you,” she whispered.

“I love you, too.” Isabella winked.

“Hey Kelsey,” Gus said, walking down the hall with a book under his arm. “Can I read to you? I have to read a few pages out loud for homework.”

Kelsey looked over at Isabella and she nodded. “I’d love that, Gus.”

They settled on the couch while Isabella went down the hall to check on Wyatt.

A short time later Isabella and Wyatt walked into the living room. “We have time for one episode of House Hunters,” Isabella said, turning on the TV.

“You watch House Hunters, too?” Kelsey exclaimed.

“Yep,” Wyatt said, plopping down on the end of the couch. “We guess which house they’re going to pick at the end.”

Isabella sat down on the other side of Gus. She put her arm around the back of the couch and squeezed Kelsey’s shoulder. “You wanna play?”

“Heck, yeah,” Kelsey said. She looked over at Wyatt and gave him a playful shove on the shoulder.

He grinned at her as the show began.

“Okay,” Isabella said, pausing the TV at the end of the show. “They should choose number two, but I think they’ll choose number three.”

“Nope,” Wyatt said. “They’ll pick number one.”

“I’m with Bella,” Kelsey said. “They’ll choose three.”

Wyatt chuckled. “It’s funny you call our mom Bella.”

“Why?” Kelsey asked.

“She doesn’t like people to call her Bella. She always corrects them,” he said.

“Yeah,” Gus said. “My name is Isa-bella,” he said, imitating his mom.

Isabella laughed. “You know, I don’t mind Kelsey calling me Bella. It sounds nice the way she says it.”

“Well, Bella,” Kelsey said. “Are you going to show us which house they choose?”

“Gus, what’s your pick?” Isabella asked.

“I think number two,” he replied.

Isabella started the show again and the couple chose number one.

“Yes!” Wyatt yelled, jumping up. “I knew it!”

“It’s your night to win, Wyatt,” Kelsey said.

“Okay, it’s bedtime,” Isabella said, getting up.
