“No, baby.” I rise onto my toes and kiss his jawline. “I’m going to tell her that her dad is Kai Mazur. The man who’s been watching over me for years, keeping me safe. Who took a bullet for me. The man who has barely slept in weeks because he’s been protecting us. Who spent hours simply watching her sleep, instead of getting rest himself. Our guardian angel. The love of my life.” I tilt his head lower until our lips touch. “The man who loves her and her mamma more than anything else. Just as we love him. That’s what I’ll tell our daughter.”
