Maddie laughed. “See, he wants to play fetch again. He makes me use my new hand, but it’s still fun!” She ran toward the rear exit, to the luscious manicured grounds.
Jess went up stairs looking for Dante. She found him standing in the art Studio adjusting Carina’s portrait. She folded her arms. “I think you got it.”
Dante turned with a smile. “How was your first day back?”
Jess walked up to the picture. “It was good. Marcus made a big deal out of busting me down to rookie status. Jenner pretended to be mad at me then took me for coffee and donuts as soon as no one else was around then told me it was part of my retraining.”
“Donuts are required for PIA training?”
Jess laughed. “I think Jenner and Laura share the sugar gene. Since I have to shadow Jenner for the next two months. I assume there will be many sugary sweets as part of the training process. I’m more worried about my waistline than my agent status.”
Dante pulled her close to him. “You are perfect in every way. With or without the extra sweets your partner is apt to feed you.”
Jess laughed. She couldn’t believe her life had taken the path it had. “Maddie told me about your discussion.”
Dante raised an eyebrow. “I had wanted to discuss it with you myself...”
Jess tapped her forehead. “You could have...”
Date shook his head. “I wish to do this in person. In the presence of my family. Not while my bride is guzzling coffee and maple glazed sweets.”
Jess laughed. “How did you know they were maple?”
Dante sighed. “I will always give you your space my love but we are connected and when you enjoy something as much as you did those donuts, I make a note so I can get them for you in the future.”
Jess put her arms around Dante’s neck. “It should embarrass me you know I ate three of those but for some reason it doesn’t.”
Dante turned to his mother’s portrait. “I wanted her back with us before I asked you this.”
“What?”
“I have the adoption papers ready. As soon as you sign them, we are Maddie’s legal guardians. I hope she is the oldest of many children in our future. I desire an eternity with you and I want it to start now. You are already my bride but I wish a wedding as well. I want you to have the white dress and silver plates with Maddie as your flower girl. I wish you to be my wife.”
Jess couldn’t help the tear that rolled down her face. “You saw it didn’t you? I always wanted that wedding, but I told no one.”
Dante kissed her. “Yes, but I desire the same thing. I wish to watch you walk down the aisle in that beautiful dress and declare your love for me in front of all the world.”
Jess laughed. “I don’t remember that part in my fantasy.”
Dante smiled. “Perhaps that was mine.”
Jess hugged him. She couldn’t help but think Carina was smiling at her. She released Dante and motioned the painting. “Her story is so sad yet looking at her makes me happy. I’m not sure if it’s the mystery of her smile or the fact that she was so beautiful...”
Dante put his arm around Jessica’s back. “My brothers and I thought she was the most beautiful woman to walk the earth. I told her that once. You know what she said?”
Jess turned to him. “What?”
“She asked me what beauty was.”
Jess frowned. “I don’t understand.”
Dante ran a hand down her cheek. “I didn’t either, until now.” He kissed her forehead gently. “She had the longest black hair. Like god had spun it from a raven’s wing. Her eyes were green diamonds that sparkled in any light. Her gowns made from the finest silk. They would shimmer in candlelight but those things are not what made her a beautiful woman. When she looked at us. Her family. There was a power behind her eyes. A devotion that nothing man made could recreate. That miracle was the love she had for those around her. I see it when I look at you.” He kissed her with a reverence she had never known. “You are that miracle.”
