“I don’t see any need to mention that, do you?”
“Do you mean it?”
“I always wanted a houseful of children. I’m sure we can afford a dozen or so.”
“Oh, Andrei, you really do mean it, don’t you?”
When he nodded, she threw her arms around his neck. “I love you!”
“And I you. Always and forever.”
He kissed the tip of her nose, then swung her into his arms. “We have a new house,” he said, carrying her up the porch stairs. “And a brand-new king-size bed that’s calling my name.”
“Just your name?” she teased with a grin.
“I’m sure it’ll be fine if I bring a friend.” He carried her across the threshold and, minutes later, into their own paradise.
