I tilted my head, “What do you mean?”

He smiled, “Never you mind. That’s between Cassie and me.”

Then I recalled the way he had looked at their wedding, and then... I smiled.

‘I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you.’

– Part of Alec’s vow to Cassie in the courthouse.

Epilogue

Alec

Two Years Later

With her head on my shoulder, I closed my eyes, and not for the first time, I fell asleep... and I did it easy.

The nightmares that had plagued me for the past eighteen years... were few and far between.

Almost to the point where it was getting harder to recall the last one.

That was all thanks to my Cassie.

My lover.

My best friend.

My wife.

My Marvel.

And together... we were Marvelous.

Cassie

I sat on our back porch and smiled.

Alec and Krispin were playing a game of war, and I couldn’t stop laughing.

The smack talk they had going was hilarious.

And when Krispin cried out, “Die, you pussy.”

He froze.

Then he turned wide eyes to me.

As did Alec.

I lifted a brow, then I called out, “Who said that near you?”

Krispin bit his lip, “Umm.”

I stared at him then wiggled my fingers, telling him to come here.

He did so.

His head hung low.
