He’s still the preacher in the church, and his congregation relies on him. He is a softy for the grandbabies though, and the sparkle I see in his eyes when they are crawling on him and asking him for stories tells me we are in a good place for now.
You never know what the future will bring.
Ash also did an investigation into my mother, with my permission. It’s sad. She had no other family, and when she left, she apparently tried to get her life together and support herself. From what he knows, she wanted to come back for me, but she had a car accident and was in a coma for nearly six months.
When she recovered, she was never the same. A few years later, she passed away in a state-run facility. I grieved for the loss but was comforted by the fact that in her heart, she did want me. She wanted to come back for me, and I wasn’t simply abandoned by my mother.
“Yum.” Ash finishes on my boobs then kisses me with the sweet milk flavor still lingering.
He runs his hands through my hair and down my back, then pulls away, licking his lips.
We both look outside when we hear crying and see Lukas kneeling next to one of the girls.
“Mom!” I hear him yell and Ash turns my shoulders, holding them, and we walk out from behind the bar.
“You’re being paged.” He kisses my cheek as we walk to the open doors to the backyard.
“Seems so.”
He smacks my bottom as I step back into the sunlight.
I glance back over my shoulder to see him watching me go, and I wonder how a simple preacher’s daughter prayed for a different life and ended up in her own kind of Eden.
