Prompts: success, fireplace, bookcase

Just a little sequel to Caer del Cielo

How do you define success?

Most people would say plenty of money, fame, a big house.

As Poe sat in the living room of his house in Jackson Hole this snowy afternoon, he looked around. The dogs were lying in front of the fireplace, the cat was perched on the bookcase, and Rey was comfortably reading on the sofa, her pregnant belly tucked under a blanket.

In his own lap sat their three-year-old daughter, and he watched as she flipped through a picture book about horses.

Fame, fortune, property. He had it.

But he'd give it all up for this.
