Chapter 10

They slept that night in the bed in Cheyenne’s room at the lodge, wrapped in each other’s arms and the warmth of their renewed love for each other. Austin couldn’t remember having slept so soundly. His dreams were full of a kind of unspeakable satisfaction and contentment that he had never known before.

When he woke to the soft light of morning glowing through the window and streaming over Cheyenne’s face and glistening in her bright-red hair, his heart throbbed and filled to bursting. He felt his eyes fill with tears. And he let them come. He was so grateful and so full of emotion that it seemed wrong to try to push it away. This was their time. This was his moment to finally feel again what it meant to be loved. What it meant to have a future.

He wiped away the tears on his cheeks and slowly slid from the bed. He slipped on a fluffy white bathrobe and found the room service menu tucked with the other brochures on a counter under the mirror. He quietly called room service and ordered everything on the breakfast menu, charging it to his credit card.

Cheyenne slipped from the bed and wrapped her arms around him as he finished the call. He turned to her and enveloped her naked, curvy body in his arms. The feeling of her against him was like coming home. And he never wanted to let her go. But she kissed him on the cheek and slid away with a cheeky grin, slipping into her own bathrobe.

She disappeared into the bathroom to freshen up before the room service arrived. He tipped the waiter and rolled the cart into the room, transferring all the food to the table by the window. They sat together, sipping coffee and orange juice and feasting on Belgian waffles topped with strawberries, savory sausages, bacon, and eggs over easy. The lake glistened in the morning light, and the promise of spring glowed in the warming sun.

“How do you feel about the idea of moving to Fate Rock?” he asked, popping a piece of bacon into his mouth.

“Nothing would make me happier than to move back home.”

“What about your job?”

“My job is a dead end. I’m tired of trying. I have a condo that is almost paid off. A fat 401(k). I can cash out and do whatever I want.”

“What do you want to do?”

“Honestly? I’ve always wanted to be a mother.” She chuckled. “I never imagined I would be stuck in corporate middle-management, overlooked again and again for my C-level position. Aside from that, I told you about my hobby of making jam. And I think, when I move here, that’s what I’ll do.”

“And the mother part?”

“You know, I’m a forty-year-old human female.”

“That shouldn’t make any difference.”

“Unfortunately, it does.”

Austin thought long and hard about this. He wanted a family. A big one. But time had marched on despite them and what they desired. He had a solution at the back of his mind. He would just have to run it by her first.
