Charlie couldn’t take his eyes off her. His affection for her was plain as day to see.
As the sun dipped below the horizon and the engagement ceremony came to an end, people lingered on the
garden lawn, taking photos and dancing around the bonfire, while others headed to the banquet hall for the feast.
Kya finally stirred. She was about to wake up.
Her eyes fluttered open and she was momentarily taken aback upon seeing Charlie, but then she broke into a smile.
She looked so happy. Her smile was so pure!

felt they were destined to be together. “She’s going to be my daughter!” he thought.
He scooped her up, making her giggle as his hand tickled her. She nestled against him, laughing.
“You sure love your beauty sleep. Are you hungry from sleeping too much?” Charlie asked gently with a smile.
Kya looked up at him. “Where’s Mommy?”
Charlie glanced downstairs, “Mommy is downstairs chatting with Estelle and others. Let’s go find her.”
