Page 96 of A Play for Love

“I’ll miss you and Mom a lot. Just do me a favor, and don’t worry about Nicholas and me. We’re in great hands. The villagers will watch over us.”

I chuckled as I pulled her into me for one last hug. “I love you, baby girl.”

“I love you too, Dad.”

While Sofia was saying goodbye to Ella, I took my son and hugged him tight.

“I’m going to miss you, my son. Be a good boy and try not to give the villagers a hard time.” I kissed him. “I love you so much.”

“Hand over your kid and get the hell out of here,” Conner said.

“Don’t worry, bro. Your children are safe with us.” Jackson hugged me.

“Bye, bro. Have a great honeymoon.” Christian hugged me. “We’ll see you when you get back. Make sure to send lots of pics and videos.”

“We will.” I patted his back.

Sofia and I climbed into the limo that was waiting for us outside the hotel. After settling in, I took hold of her hand and brought it up to my lips.

“Are you ready, Mrs. Kind?”

“So ready, Dr. Kind.” She leaned over and brushed her lips against mine.

We spent the next ten days soaking up the sights and having more sex than I’d ever thought possible. Even being on birth control, it wouldn’t surprise me if I got Sofia pregnant. Neither of us wanted another child right now, but if it happened, all would be good. We Facetimed the kids and the rest of the family quite often, but we had to be careful of the time difference. As much fun as we had on our honeymoon, we were happy to go home to our family. We missed Thanksgiving, but Sebastian told us not to worry and that he’d host it at the restaurant for us when we returned.

“Bonjour!” Sofia smiled as we walked through the sliding door at Conner’s house.

“Mom! Dad!” Ella ran to us.

“Hey, you.” I picked her up and hugged her tight. “I missed you so much.”

“I missed you too. Did you bring me back presents?” She grinned.

“Of course, we did. We’ll give them to you when we get home.”

Conner brought Nicholas to us and handed him over to Sofia.

“Welcome home, bro.” He hugged me. “We all missed your dumbass around here.”

“I missed you too.” I chuckled. “Thank you for taking care of the kids.”

“You’re welcome. They were great. We had a lot of fun. Didn’t we, Ella?”

“Yeah, we did. Did you see our TikTok videos?” Ella asked.

“We saw them.” I smirked. “You're putting my son in your videos now?” My brow arched at my brother.

“What kind of uncle would I be if I left him out?” He grinned.

One Week Later

“Did you set a wedding date yet?” I asked Christian as we gathered around the fire pit.

“Not yet. We’ll let you know when we do.” He flung his bottle cap at me.
