    Do you still want to marry, Mommy?” My beautiful princess asked me. Her big blue eyes were looking at me, waiting for a


    response. | could hear Love’s heart racing in her chest. | looked at her as | gave


    my true answer.


    “Yes, | want to marry your mommy,” | answered. It was true, | wanted to marry Love. | wanted to be with her not because she is


    the mother of my kids but because | love her. It was the ce my heart wanted to be forever, by her side.


    Sra pped, ” | can’t wait for you to marry my mommy, Daddy!”


    What she said registered to me, and I’m lost for words. | look at Love for help. That is what she meant by obscuring the kids.


    “Lara, it’s not like that now,” Love said carefully. She gave me a startling look that always made me contemte my actions. |


    gave her sorry eyes, but | wasn’t remorseful for telling my children the truth about how | felt.

    How about this? It’splicated for now,” | said.


    So you won’t marry mommy?” Cayden asked.


    We don’t know yet, but I love you so much, and I''ll be here for you, always,” | told him. | nced at Love, and she quickly turned


    her gaze away. The kids had a million questions. We answered most of them. We ate breakfast and talked about other topics.


    The kids wanted to go to Disnend, and | promised to take them with Love, which earned me a re from Love.


    Disnend wasn’t Love’s favorite ce because when we went there

    something bad always seemed to happen. On ourst trip together, she was chased by a white turkey, and the previous one, she


    threw up after each ride. It was worrying but hrious, especially when a bird chased her.


    I''m not going with you,” she said solemnly.


    Come on, don’t be that way,” | jested, | was holding back my m uff le. It was such a funny scene when the turkey hunted her


    through the


    crowd.


    What happened? Why don’t you like Disnend, Mommy,?” Cayden asked. Love snapped her head away, angry at the


    recollection of that day.
