“Why not?” Miles said when I explained my feelings a couple of weeks ago.
After making love, we were in bed together, my man lying on his side with the sheets tangled around his waist. His torso was bare, flecked with sweat, and his lips reminded me of the smirks he used to aim my way in the beginning. No matter how many years pass, he always looks stronger, fiercer, and more protective.
“I always knew you were going to be wildly successful.”
Florence is by far the biggest star who’s ever wanted to pay compliments to the chef.
“That was sublime,” she says in her British accent. “If heaven was a meal, it was that. Do you offer private services? I’d love for you to cater a little Oscar shindig I’m throwing in a few weeks.” I almost scream yes, and then my staff is rushing around me, throwing a mini party.
Once we’re back to work, Jack walks over. He’s an intelligent boy with watchful eyes, reminding me of his father.
“I’m so proud of you, Mom,” he says. “That was amazing. I knew you were the best chef in the world, but that was just, wow. I hope I can be as good as you one day.”
I wrap my arms around him. He’s growing fast, almost reaching my shoulders.
“You’re going to be,” I tell him. “You’re already way more talented than I was at your age.”
He has the perfect circumstances to improve—supportive parents, a quick mind, and a calm, loving home with no stress, no cheating, no drugs, no death, and no sadness. Just happiness, every day, inflating like a balloon of love, and I know it will never pop.
“I can’t wait to tell Dad,” Jack says, squeezing me. “He’s going to be so proud, too. You’re the best chef and mom in the world.”
I kiss the top of his head.
“I’d call you the best son, but Ethan might have something to say about that.”
He looks up, grinning. “That’s okay. I’m cool with it being a tie.”
