Too many things happened in the past twenty-four hours. They had been the best and worst hours of my life.

One moment | thought | was going to die, the next | found Emily in my arms crying her eyes out, thinking that

she had lost me.

My private jet caught on fire last night during landing due to scomplications. At first, | was trapped inside

along with the two flight attendants, the pilot and co-pilot. Miraculously, the rescue team managed to get us out.

It took them less than ten minutes to do that, but they were the longest minutes of my life, because I realized

then that | didn't want to die. There were so many things that | wanted to do in my life that I didn't get to do. |

wanted to be there for my daughter and watch her gr

| wanted to grow old with Emily even though at that moment, I didn't even know if she would ever takeback

or not. | wanted to go stargazing with her and take her on many plenie and rooftop dates because they were her

favourite. | wanted to dance with her to her fav scent as she laid her head on my chest.

my | wanted to spend more twith give up on my life. | wasn't ready to

my parents and bicker with my sister until my last breath. | wasn't ready to give in to the fire that threatened to

melt the skin covering my bones, so | fought with everything inuntil they managed to get us out

The breath | took when | was finally away from the fire broughtback to life. It maderealize that there

were many important steps | needed.

| needed to to take. | needed to fight more for Emily and show her that she was still the love of my life. | needed

to appreciate all that | had more. enjoy my life and stop giving all my tto work. | didn't need any more

money. | needed to live,

| wasn't even working for money anymore. | was just living like that because there was nothing else | thought

of doing. But being trapped in a metal box with fire threatening to eatalive was enough to make realize that

there were many things | wanted to do. | wanted to travel the world and spend more twith my family, |

wanted to live.

When Emily ran towardsand huggedwith everything in her | thought | was hallucinating. | wasn't even

sure what she was doing at the airport, but | was glad that she was there. When | wrapped my arms around her

shaking body, a voice in my head toldto be It was hard to prevent myself from texting her for two weeks, but

| wanted to give her tto think. | didn't want to make her feel forced into a relationship withonly to wake

up one day to realize that | wasn't the man she wanted.

| was currently lying down in her bed while she was sleeping soundly in my arms. I still couldn't believe that she

was a blonde again. | loved her with her black hair and her blonde hair, but blonde suited her more. It reminded

the crook of my neck. She was absolutely adorable and all | wanted was to kiss her. but | didn't want to wake her

up. | spent years dreaming of living that moment again and | wasn't going to take it for granted When | told her |

wanted to take her hyesterday, | didn't have a specific place in mind. | didn't care whether it meant going to

her place or mine because hmeant being with her and Rosie, even if that meant living in a cottage

in the middle of nowhere. She toldit would be better to go to her place and | agreed. | had a feeling | was

going to sell the house | was living in and purchase a new one soon. Yes. | made with Emily great memories

there, but it also witnessed our divorce, something | w | wanted to give her a fresh start and maybe it would be

better if it happened at a completely new home.

She shifted again in my arms and when | looked at her, | saw her fluttering her gorgeous eyes

"Good morning sunshine," | said, smiling at her.

"Morning," she yawned, stretching her arms, "What tis it?"

"Ten thirty." | replied.

"I slept in," she murmured, pulling herself up. "Did you have a good sleep?" she asked me. How could | not when

| was sleeping beside her all night!

"The best sleep | had in a while," | said, sitting up too.

"Do you have anything in mind you want to do today?" | asked her.

"Other than giving you your birthday gift, nothing," she replied.

"Didn't you give it toyesterday!" She gavea Rolex yesterday with 'You'll always be my Eugene' engraved

on its back. That was officially my favourite watch.

"Yeah, but there's another gift that | made for you," she said, getting out of bed. | watched her in her yellow little

shorts as she disappeared in her closet for a moment before emerging again with a suit cover. "I made it for you.

The line isn't out yet and | don't have all the de 10:29 AM

| took the suit cover from her and opened it. My eyes stole a glimpse of her, and my heart danced at the

excitement in her eyes. The suit was a dar shade of green and the lapel was black. | didn't know which material

she made the suit of, but it was very solt

"I know the colour isn't something you really wear, but | thought | could try something new. You don't really have

to wear it or anything. | just thought | could make you one. If there's anything you don't like about the design |

can definitely change it and if you want a differen I love it and | love you" | said, silencing her. The way her

cheeks reddened madewant to kiss her. "I would kiss you, but my morning breath isn't the best." She

laughed and nodded.

"I think | have a spare toothbrush," she toldas she made her way to the bathroom. | set the suit

aside and followed her. "Here it is." She handeda grey toothbrush before turning on the faucet. "Il freshen up

quickly and leave you the bathroom" | nodded and exited the bathroom, giving her sprivacyclean

clothes.

While she was inside, the doorbell rang. It must have been my driver because | sent him to my place to fetch me

| opened the door and took what | asked him to bring. I told him to leave the car and to have the rest of the day

off, then closed the door and headed back upstairs.

Emily walked out of the bathroom in a towel. Her hair was wet, and her nose and cheeks were a little bit red.

"You still prefer lava hot showers, don't you?" :

"Yes." She gavea cheeky smile. "Who was it?" she wondered.

My driver. | asked him to bring n "My

bag he gaveon the bed to see what he brought me.

"We can go bring sof your stuff if you want today," Emily offered.

"You don't want to live at my place, right?" | asked her. She shifted uncomfortably and looked down.

"It's not that | don't want to live there, but... | don't see myself living there anymore after what happened, she

admitted

"I understand." | replied, earning a look of surprise from her.

"You do?"

"The worst part of our relationship happened there. | kicked you out of it and it witnessed our divorce. | wouldn't

want to live there too if | were you," | told her. "We can look for a new place together?" | suggested

"That sounds like a good idea." She smiled brightly. "You go shower while | get dressed and make us some

breakfast."

I nodded, kissing her cheek before disappearing inside the bathroom.

Emily refused to accept her mother's company because | bought it back for her and opted for giving it to Rosie

once she was ready, so | wasn't sure how she was going to react upon knowing what I planned on giving her for

Christmas. | was sincerely hoping that she wou | made my way downstairs where | found my two beautiful girls

making breakfast together.

"Good morning. Daddy," Rosie grinned at me.

"Good morning, cupcake." | kissed her cheek, then went to kiss Emily. "Now, | can give you a morning kiss."

Our daughter gasped when she sawkissing Emily and it dawned onthat she had never seen us being

intimate like that before.

"Rosie, what do you think about the three of us living together?" Emily asked Rosie whose eyes immediately lit

up.

"We're going to live here?" she wondered.

"Well, we were thinking about getting a bigger house," | told her.

"Yours is bigger

Yeah, but Mommy doesn't like it there, so we were thinking about living here temporarily before moving to a

bigger place," | told her.

"I would love that!" She grinned. "But when do you plan on buildingthe tree house?"

"How about after we move to our new place?" Emily suggested. | loved the idea of living with her. The way she

said "our new place' madefeel

warm.

As the three of us prepared breakfast together and talked about anything and everything, | realized that | hadn't

been that happy in so long and 1 wanted nothing but to live with the two of their until my very last breath
