I watch Nessa's smile brighten at Ewan's mention of a secret. Oh, the little brat she can be. I wouldn't want her any other way.
My arms stay wrapped around her small body as I bend my head to kiss the crown of her head. I've missed her. I've missed Luke. I've missed Ewan. I never, ever want to leave my family again right about now.
A couple of tears fall from my eyes and splash in her hair. Even without them, I know the moment her nose wrinkles that she's picked up on my overpowering happiness. She squirms out of my embrace to reach a hand out and tug on the sleeve of Ewan's robe.
"Why's Mummy crying?"
"I'm just very happy to see you again, Nessie-love. Very."
