I nod, unexpectedly crying. “I’m pregnant.”

George’s smile is blinding. He places a light hand on my belly, then leans to kiss me again.

“Oh, Catherine. I’m so happy right now.”

I press my forehead to his. “Me, too.”

We sit there, the sun playing on the water, lost in this world that belongs to just the three of us.

And all I can think of is how excited I am that I can raise a family with the man I love in this place I love.
