She smiled into his throat. “I’ve heard it said that a ranch needs lots of sons.”
“Well, we’ve got lots of time,” he whispered, lifting his head. “And I’d like to give you children, Maggie,” he said, bending. “I’ll love you all my life. All the way to the grave. Good times, bad times, all the times we share. You’re my world.”
“Oh, Tate, you’re my world, too,” she whispered brokenly, burying her face against him.
“Come here,” he whispered. “Show me.”
She tried to answer him, but there was so much emotion in her throat she couldn’t speak for it. Two lost, lonely people had found a miracle this Christmas. And as she pressed against him, she managed to smile through tears of exquisite joy, her heart brimming over as she thought of all the Christmases yet to come that she and Blake would share with him—Christmases bright with laughter and filled with love.
