Pip’s smile grew until it filled his whole face. ‘Our children?’
‘The ninth generation of Hawkins. Flora really needs a cousin so she can stop stressing about having to run the farm.’
‘Are you sure? You’ve kind of been swept into this.’
I nodded. ‘I’ve totally been swept into it. But that’s because Blessing knew it’s what I wanted. My whole life has been spent trying to please another person. Doing things her way, following her plans and dreams. Being here, with you. This is what I want. It’s my choice. And I couldn’t be happier.’
‘I love you, Pasty Girl.’
‘I love you too, Hot Farmer.’
As we kissed, and watched the moonlight dance upon the water until we were so cold we had to turn back and head for the farmhouse, I knew that Nell Brown would be pretty happy to see how things were turning out for her daughter, too.
