Epilogue

Daisy (because favorite couple)

“What do you think about adopting a child?” I ask my husband while trying to squeeze myself into a tight pair of jeans.

Xavier and I live in the magical realm now, but we are heading out on a date in the human world. Our life is close to perfect. I’m happy, but there is always a but.
