Page 67 of Trace's Passion
Trace gave her a kiss on the cheek, “We feel the same. We haven’t had family much. Until Brek came along, I was so lonely. So beat down. I didn’t know how to accept his friendship and I pushed him and his parents away. But they kept at it. Kept pushing back and gave me the love I so desperately needed. And then I found Sienna. And life to me was perfect. But I felt there was something missing. And then Emery quite literally fell into my lap. She gave me everything I could ever hope for.”
Ailith sighed in happiness, “Boy. I need to get my husband to listen to this. I need more of it in my life.”
Trace let out a startled laugh and Ailith hugged him again. Then she walked away, needing to see about something her husband needed.
Trace’s phone buzzed and he looked down at it, knowing he needed to get to work soon.
He hated leaving Emery, but she was in good hands.
Checking his phone, there was a text from Brek.
Brek: Hey, just checking in. All is quiet here once again. Just finished filling out the paperwork about Lance. Emery’s statement was so helpful and amazing.
Trace: Good. I am glad. I will be there in a few. Just have to change first.
Brek: Take your time. With Kian and Scott here it’s nice and quiet.
Trace: I'm glad we hired Kian. And when Reid is ready, we'll have a full house.
Brek: Good. I'm ready for a little time off every once in a while. I didn’t realize how much we worked until Sienna came into my life.
Trace: I didn’t either. Yeah. I'll be thrilled to be home more with Emery. Though, since she works at the station, I will probably be there still.
Brek: You would.
Trace: And not sorry for it.
Brek: See you soon.
Trace: Yep.
He put his phone away and walked into the kitchen where Emery was on a chair, talking to Karalee and surprisingly, Mila.
He raised his eyebrow but didn’t question Mila’s presence and walked over to Emery, kissing her.
“I have to go in for a few hours. I'll see you soon.”
She nodded at him, “We're going dress shopping tomorrow. I can’t wait.”
He smiled, “You'd be beautiful if you wore a potato sack, but I can’t wait to see you all in white.”
She grinned and kissed him, “I asked Sienna to be one of my bridesmaids.”
Trace smiled down at her, “I bet she was thrilled.”
Emery nodded, “She was. She can’t wait to get all dressed up and walk down the aisle with me.”
He kissed her, “I'll come by tonight. Get some rest today. Don’t push yourself too hard with wedding planning.”
She laughed, “I won’t. Go my big sexy officer.”
He laughed and walked out the front door.
