As we pack up the things Landry wants to take to Kyler’s, I watch as he continues to stare at her in awe. When Landry is finished, she signs to me that it’s time to go, which makes me giggle. I’m happy that she’s so excited about all of this. She’s been through a lot in the past few months, and to see her smile with genuine happiness makes me almost giddy.

“Okay, baby girl. I think we’ve got what we need,” Kyler says, then looks to me to translate. We’ve really got to start working on Kyler’s ASL lessons soon.

I grab Landry’s bags, her favorite stuffed bunny Beck, and the blanket she’s had since birth that she won’t sleep without and follow them from the room. We hug Pops, who still looks a little torn on the whole situation. I can see a range of emotions in his face. I know he’s tired, but he loves Landry so much, and the idea of putting her in a situation that could potentially break her heart is almost too much for him.

“I’ll take care of her, Pops. Don’t worry,” I whisper to him as I kiss his cheek and head for the door with Landry in tow. I turn back to him as we head down the porch steps. “I’ll FaceTime you when she goes to bed so you can tell her goodnight.” I smile and he returns it.

He signs, “I love you” to Landry and she responds the same.

Kyler scoops Landry up in his arms, which make her giggle even more. I grab her bags and we head out. I can tell already that Kyler is going to be an amazing father.

We get Landry into her car seat, pile everything into the car and head toward Kyler’s house. It dawns on me that I haven’t even seen this place. I know Kyler is loaded, but what if he lives in a bachelor pad and it’s not kid-friendly? Let’s face it; Landry is a 5-year-old whirlwind, so I hope there’s not a bunch of glass. The phrase “bull in a china shop” comes to mind.

I’m not paying much attention to where we are as Kyler drives us to our temporary new home. As I feel the car slow, I look out the window, gasping at the sight of the homes we are passing. This can’t possibly be the street he lives one. These are million-dollar mansions, not bachelor pads. I look at Kyler and he keeps glancing at me.

“You live here?” I ask, almost breathless.

“No,” he says with pause. “We live here.” He smirks at me.

I don’t even know what to say. I need to not overthink this. Of course he’d live here. He isn’t a 21-year-old rich kid who does nothing but party. He’s a 30-something multimillionaire CEO.

When we pull up in front of the house, I turn to look at Landry, who has her face plastered against the window, mesmerized. It is a beautiful house: Tudor-style brick, large fountain in the middle of a circular driveway, and gates at the entrance.
