Unconquerable Callie

by DeAnn Smallwood

  “Yes,” she cried, her face mirroring her happiness. “Yes. Yes. Yes. But I won’t be giving up my dream. Because this time, my dream will include the man I love, the home he’s offered me, and the life we’ll have together. Oh, Seth. The bakery was a good dream, but it was an empty one without you. As rewarding as the bakery has been, it nowhere near measures up to the pleasure I got baking you those darn sugar cookies. The bakery will be someone else’s dream. I’ll do my baking from now on for my wonderful husband and my someday family.” She blushed prettily. “I can’t believe you love me. You truly do?”

  “Yep,” he grinned. “I truly do. I love you, Callie Collins.” He lowered his voice. “You’re my determined, my mischievous, my fearless, one true love. My unconquerable Callie.”
