nt to say my vows to you again.”

My heart stuttered in my chest.

“Peter—”

“I know it’s unexpected,” he cut in, squeezing my hand. “But I mean it. After fifteen years, after everything we’ve been through, I still choose you.

Every day, I choose you.”

Tears blurred my vision.

He took both my hands in his and began.

“This time, my vows are different,” he said. “But the meaning is the same. I promise to love you, to stand by you, to fight for us no matter what.

To be the husband you deserve.”

A tear slipped down my cheek. I wiped it away, laughing shakily. “I don’t even know what to say.”

“Say you’ll keep putting up with me for another fifteen years.”

I giggled.

“I think I can manage that.”

He leaned in, his lips just a breath away from mine. My body relaxed, my heart swelling with so much love I thought it might burst.

And then—his phone buzzed.

Peter tensed.

I pulled back slightly. “Aren’t you going to check that?”

His jaw tightened.

“It’s nothing.”

I frowned. “Peter—”

He sighed and pulled out his phone. The screen lit up, and I caught the name before he could turn it over.

Lucy.

I blinked.

Then laughed. “Oh no, is she having trouble handling the kids?”

Peter smirked. “Probably.”

The phone buzzed again.

This time, I answered it. “Lucy?”

Her voice was breathless. “Maa’m!

I called because the kids wanted to say something—”

Ava’s excited voice came through. “Mommy! Did you like the surprise?

Did Daddy cry when he gave you the shoes?”

I laughed. “Not yet, sweetie, but I’ll work on it.”

Ethan chimed in. “Tell Daddy we love him!

And you too, Mommy!”

Tears stung my eyes again, but this time, they were happy ones. “We love you too, baby.”

Peter wrapped his arms around my waist, pressing a kiss to my temple.

Lucy chuckled. “I’ll keep them out for a bit longer.

Enjoy your night!”

I hung up, turning to Peter. “You have no idea how much this means to me.”

He smiled. “I think I do.”

And as he pulled me into his arms, I realized—this was exactly where I was meant to be.
