“What is it?” Morgan asked.
Nanette looked to Lola. “I think it’s time you told him, pumpkin.”
“Told me what?” Morgan asked.
Lola smiled, took a sip of tea and started the tale. By the time she finished telling him what happened during the shooting, and what she’d learned in her visit with Eulalia about his father, the tea was cold and Morgan was staring at her shell-shocked.
She pushed the box over in front of him. “Open it.”
His hands visibly trembled as he opened the box. One look inside and tears streamed down his face.
Lola got out of her chair to crouch beside him. “You know what that is, don’t you?”
He looked up at her and smiled through his tears. “Yeah. I do. It’s love.”
She nodded and hugged him. “You’re a very special man, Morgan. You inspire great love.”
“Amen,” Nanette added.
Morgan sat there for a few moments, taking it all in. The weight he’d carried almost his entire life had vanished. All of the secrets had been revealed, and he knew in his heart that the voices were gone. Now he could live and love and be happy.
His happiness was so great it almost made him weak. What he’d longed for since his was twelve had finally happened. He’d finally found home again. Not in a place, but in a person. He’d found home in Lola.
“Great enough love to let me marry Lola?” he suddenly asked Nanette.
“Yes!” Morgan grinned and pulled Lola onto his lap. “Okay, what’s next?”
“Next?” she asked with a chuckle. “Well, next is the happily ever after. You think you’re up for that, Mr. Sands?”
“Oh yeah.” He laughed and hugged her. “Bring it on, baby. Bring it on.”
