Daniel seems to be happy, too. There’s a light in his eyes that I never saw in Rio, and when he looks at me, he can’t stop smiling. I know what it is—his picture is complete. He’s found Naomi, and even though she won’t come home, she’s safe. He’s home with his family. He’s got me.

“Tomorrow,” he tells me as he drags my body against his and begins to press kisses on my neck. “Tomorrow, we ride horses, and I’ll show you the newborn baby goats. You’ll like those. Cute little buggers.” His hand slides to my breast and cups it.

“Mmm.” I drag my fingers through his hair. “Are you planning on turning me into a farm girl? Because I’m warning you, the moment something poops, I’m out of there. You might be disappointed.”

He chuckles and rolls my nipple between his fingers, distracting me. “Fighter, I am never disappointed with you.”

For some reason, this brings tears to my eyes. “No?” It comes out a little softer and more tear-warbled than I wanted it to be. Daniel thinks I’m strong, but I seem to be weepy.

“Never,” he tells me fervently and rolls on top of me. Then, he gazes down at me, his fingers grazing my jaw. “How could I ever be disappointed in you, Regan? You’re a little damaged. So am I. Maybe we’re both a little more fucked-up than normal, but we’ll be nice and fucked-up together. And someday, we’re going to have a family, and Naomi will be home, and we’ll all manage the land together.”

I nod, because it sounds beautiful. “Together.”

“Until my last breath,” Daniel murmurs again. “I’ll never leave your side. Ever.”

And I know it’s true.
