With our son tucked into his seat between us, sleeping soundly, we share a smile. I look around the table at the faces surrounding us, loving every one of these people. Even Eric’s parents are smiling and laughing.
I truly have it all, and a partner I love so deeply I sometimes don’t know what to do with my feelings for him. He’s just so incredibly good.
He winks at me, seeming to suspect I’m thinking of him. And I can tell from the gleam in his eye that he’s thinking of me, too.
