He held absolute authority in Nordvale. That alone made her awed.<\/p>\n<p>Luis carefully took the baby from Kathryn and placed her into Deanna&#8217;s arms.<\/p>\n<p>The moment the baby settled against her, the hollow ache in Deanna&#8217;s chest disappeared. Her brows relaxed, and a soft, happy smile curved on her lips.<\/p>\n<p>Luis stayed close, one arm loosely around her, the other supporting her arms as she held the baby, like he was afraid she might be overwhelmed by the weight.<\/p>\n<p>His eyes were deep and steady, with a light flickering at the bottom, fixed completely on his two girls.<\/p>\n<p>Sunlight streamed in through the window, wrapping their little family in a warm, golden glow.<\/p>\n<p>Kathryn stood off to the side, watching quietly.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since the baby was born, she&#8217;d been coming by often to help, which meant she spent more time around Deanna and Luis.<\/p>\n<p>By now, she understood how things worked.<\/p>\n<p>If her daughter said a word, her son-in-law would follow through and make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>If Deanna wanted the stars, Luis would probably try to grab the sky.<\/p>\n<p>Deanna shook her head with a smile. &#8220;Mom, I love it. Luis chose it perfectly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Luis&#8217;s hand tightened at her waist, his eyes filled with tenderness.<\/p>\n<p>Kathryn fell silent.<\/p>\n<p>If she stayed any longer, she&#8217;d get goosebumps all over.<\/p>\n<p>She rubbed her arms and said, &#8220;As long as you&#8217;re happy.&#8221; Then she quickly left.<\/p>\n<p>The room grew quiet again, sunlight still warm and steady.<\/p>\n<p>Luis looked at Deanna. &#8220;I met you in the middle of summer, too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She lifted her face, eyes bright, playful, and smug. &#8220;So summer is an amazing day, right?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He leaned down and kissed her lips. &#8220;It&#8217;s only amazing because of you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I love summer because I love you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2529","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2529","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
