“She’s coming. She’s scared of people and witches.” He pulled on clothes but left his feet bare. His cheeks were ruddy with cold, but his eyes were bright.

Their timing may not have been the best for the first couple of years, and there might have been some dangerous moments, but it had been worth it. Without Bailey, his heart would’ve forgotten how to beat.

“What are you thinking?”

He shook his head. “Just how lucky I am to have lost my wallet and my heart.”
