MAX'S POV-

(2 years after the wedding)

Americus just celebrated her tenth birthday. Fang has been a good dad. I'll never forget the first time she called him "Dad" or told him she loved him. They happened at the same time.

It was two weeks after Fang and I got back from our honey moon. She was going to bed. She stood in front of him awkwardly for a moment. She hugged him, kissed his cheek, and said, "Goodnight…Dad. I love you." She hurried to her room, which was probably a good thing considering that Fang started crying. I don't know why, but men don't like to be caught crying, especially by their daughters and wives. Huh, freaks.

Now, two years and ten months after Fang and I were reunited, I have a wonderful husband and two beautiful daughters. Americus's little sister Adrian Rain came soon after the marriage. She's only two years and six months younger than Ella's son Michael. She's got her father's hair and eyes. And- of course- wings. Beautiful black wings like her daddy.

I don't know what's coming in the future- but I know that right now- life is perfect, and I'm going with it.

Fang and I never read each other our vows. We kept them in our hearts, because as much as I love him- there are some things I can never say. There are no words for it.

One thing I said was, "Thank you for coming home."

And he has come home. That alone would have been enough for me.

Marrying him is just a bonus.
