Maddox pulled away from me. “You’re dangerous,
woman,” he growled.
“And I happened to hear that you love danger.” I winked,
before sashaying away.
Maddox swore under his breath and I grinned.
Walking back into the living room, where everyone was
present, I watched as my family talked and laughed
between themselves. My babies were well loved and I had
everything I could ask for.
Savannah came to me, with a sweet smile. We swapped
between the plates and Iris, and suddenly, I found myself
holding my daughter while Savannah walked away with the
cookies.
My body froze and I held my breath, expecting Iris to
burst out crying.
My heart thundered in my chest and I swore, my lungs
caved inside my rib-cage, I could barely breathe.
Please don’t cry, please don’t cry, I begged.
Her eyes, blue like her father’s, blinked up at me. Her
lips pursed into the cutest pout and then she did the most
unexpected thing.
Her tiny fingers wrapped around my dreamcatcher
necklace and my daughter smiled, cooing.
In that very moment, my world tilted on its own axis, the
room swayed and I felt both dizzy in relief and breathless
with happy.
“You know, this necklace is special to your daddy and
me. It was his very first gift to me,” I whispered to my
daughter.
I felt Maddox’s presence before I saw him. His arm
came around my shoulders and we both looked down at
Iris. “This is our dreamcatcher, little one,” he said.
My heart was so full, I could burst.
He pressed his lips against my temple, giving me a
chaste kiss. “Do you believe in Christmas magic, Little
Dragon?”
