“Nope, I’m just a lucky sumbitch.”
“Daddy, that’s not an appropriate word to use in front of a little girl,” Lily scolded. “You need to put a quarter in the swear jar.”
“You’re right, Lilybelle.” Rob opened the truck door and lifted his daughter up into her booster seat, then he turned to Tally. “I’m gonna be broke because of you,” he said good-naturedly.
“You love it,” she joked as he helped her into the truck’s front seat.
“I do.” Rob leaned in and gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek. “And I love you.”
“I love you, too, Rob. I love you, too.” She squeezed his neck and then let him go. He climbed into the truck, started the engine, and pulled out of the B&B’s gravel lot.
“The moon is perfect, Daddy,” Lily’s sleepy voice came from the back seat. “Everything is perfect.”
“Yep. That’s exactly right, Lily. That’s exactly right.”
And Tally gazed at the moon as they drove the short distance to the house, their house, their newly shared home. They heard the train whistle cut through the quiet night, and Tally squeezed Rob’s hand, and he squeezed hers back.

About the Author
She has an M.Ed. in Secondary English Education, but discovered that she hated high school more the second time than she did the first, so she decided to meld her love of technology with her background in education and became an Instructional Designer. When not writing articles about how to fire someone without getting sued or why you should really not apply for jobs using your SexxyStud99@aol.com email address, she writes steamy romance novels that feature grown-up heroes and heroines.
