“Until we meet again,” she signed the letter. “I remain your loving daughter, Sophia Vanderwahl MacAuley.”
She signed the last of it with as much precision as she was able, every precious letter fashioned with painstaking love.
Sophia Vanderwahl MacAuley.
Jack stirred at her back, his timing impeccable.
“Come to bed, flower,” he demanded.
She turned to see that he had lifted his head from the pillow where they had both lain their heads, peering at her sleepily.
“I can’t sleep without you.”
Sophie laughed softly. “You can too, you rotten cad! I heard you snoring!”
He managed a throaty chuckle. “Impertinent brat. Come back to bed. The drawings can wait until tomorrow.”
Sophie smiled at him. “I’m coming, my darling,” she said, and stood, abandoning her letter on the desk until morning. He was right; it could wait.
Feeling invincible, empowered, she went to the bedside, where he pulled her down and back into his embrace once more. He brushed her hair out of her face and gazed into her eyes. She knew by the expression on his face that he adored her... cherished her. And somehow she knew that he would look at her that way even when she was old and her hair was gray.
No words were necessary between them.
And they did, indeed, live happily ever after.
