3.5 Roasted in Christmas River
Page 8
“It’s special in there too,” I said, nodding to the bright window.
Another round of laughter erupted from inside.
I looked back up at my husband. He was looking so handsome this evening in his bolo tie and pressed collared shirt, I could hardly stand it. I relaxed into his arms, feeling for the first time that night the real meaning of fatigue and exhaustion.
But I was content.
Daniel gazed back at me, his clear green eyes meeting mine, setting my soul on fire like they always did.
“We have it good, don’t we Cinnamon?” he said, clasping my hand.
We stared out into the Christmas River woods. Into our little corner of the world that would always belong to us, no matter what. Into our past, into our present, and into our future.
“Daniel,” I said, pulling his arms tighter around me. “We have it better than anyone.”
