The next morning, the day dawned bright and cold. Winter was just around the corner in the mountains. In Texas, it was fall. The heat of summer was just giving way to mild days and cooler nights. There was plenty of work that needed to be done.
Caleb rolled over and smiled as Asa blinked sleepily at him.
“Good morning, sweetheart.”
“Gmrnghhhggpff.”
He chuckled and kissed Asa’s temple.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
His hand snaked out from under the covers and smacked the alarm he’d forgotten to turn off. He smiled at how different his life was from the day he was shot.
“Let’s go home.”
I love this. Everything happens for a reason. I’m sad Caleb went through everything he went through, but look at the life he has now? Wouldn’t change it for the world
