Chapter 145

Epilogue

Daisy (because favorite couple)

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.

I feel my heart flutter with excitement as I turn around to meet his gaze, my struggles with the jeans forgotten.

“Really?”

“Absolutely,” he tells me, brushing a loose strand of hair from my face with the utmost care. “I miss taking care of a child, and having one around would make the house livelier.”
