Page 105 of My Almost Ex

“We all know Cam can’t raise a squad of puppies. They’d follow in their dad’s footsteps and then there’d be puppies running all over Sunrise Bay. So this little guy needs a mommy and daddy and I figured we could use some practice. Plus, a little pet therapy while we set forth on our new journey.”

I pick up the puppy and chuckle at what I find.

“But first…” He walks over and plucks the ring from my finger before falling down on bended knee. “We need to get remarried. I loved our first wedding, but I need to marry this Lucy. Not the old or new, just the Lucy who got me to fall in love with her twice in a lifetime.” He winks.

“There’s one problem here,” I say.

He looks at me skeptically.

“Our little boy is actually a little girl.”

He shakes his head with a smile. “All I care is that she’s healthy.”

“Good answer.”

He holds the ring. “What do you say, Lucy Greene? Marry me again?”

“I’d marry you every day for the rest of my life.” I try to blink away my building tears.

He slides the ring on my finger, stands, and bends over, kissing me until the puppy starts licking our chins. “Are you sure you want kids? Because if I’m gonna be cockblocked…”

I fist his shirt and tug him toward me, smashing his lips to mine.

Life doesn’t get much better than this. I don’t need all my memories to know that.
