Her grin stretches wider. “Yes! I fed him. A lot.”
“I saw that. I’m going to have to get the guy a little treadmill with how much food you gave him.”
Cami giggles, making my chest flood with warmth.
“And I gave him water. I tried to sleep with him, but Mommy hogged him.”
“Did she now?” I spare Lana a look.
She gives me a little shove with her shoulder.
Cami pouts. “She didn’t like to share.”
I fake gasp. “What? How dare she.”
Lana sticks out her tongue. “I do too like to share. I just needed a cuddle buddy.”
“I’ll be your cuddle buddy.” I wink.
Cami presses her palm against my cheek. “Are you staying?”
My throat tightens as I wrap my arm around Lana and tug her against me. “Of course.”
“Forever?” Cami asks.
“Yup.”
“Andever?”
I laugh. “That’s the plan, so long as you want me.”
She squeals as she wraps each arm around us and squeezes. A feeling of weightlessness takes over me, replacing the heavy feeling in my chest that has been present ever since I left Lake Wisteria for rehab.
Cami breaks away with a smile. “Are you and Mommy going to get married now?”
The blood drains from Lana’s face.“Camila.”
“What?”
Lana shoots her a look. “You shouldn’t ask people that.”
“Why not?” She crosses her small arms against her chest.
“Because it’s rude.”
I drag Lana’s left hand toward my lips. “One day I plan on it.”
Cami cheers while Lana blinks. I smile against her skin, my lips brushing across the goose bumps. Even Merlin comes back down to rub his body against us with a purr.
“Do you love my mommy?” Cami bats her dark blond lashes up at me.
“I love her more than anything.” I answer while staring into Lana’s deep brown eyes.
“What about you, Mommy? Do you love Cal?” Cami clasps her hands to her chest.
“I loved him long before I even understand what love really was.”
Cami cheers as I place a soft peck against Lana’s lips.
