The Perfect Mistake (The Connovan Chronicles #2)

by Olivia Hayle

“Who will you marry, honey?” Willa frowns. Clearly her thought process hadn’t extended that far. “He’ll be a prince,” she decides. “So, I’ll be a princess. And my daughters, too.” Isabel laughs. “Really? That’s amazing.” “Who will you marry?” Willa asks. “Oh, I don’t know who. I’m not sure if I’ve met him yet,” Isabel says lightly. “But I don’t think he’ll be a prince. Those are reserved for you. But the most important thing is that he’ll be good.” “Good,” I repeat quietly. She glances at me, a small smile on her lips. “Yeah. I think I’d like that. Caring, protective… and making time for what’s truly important in life.” It sounds like the opposite of me, then. She’s made a point of telling me to do more of the latter. Whoever it is… he better treat her right. Hold her when she’s crying and encourage her dreams. He better know what a treasure she is. “I think,” Willa says loudly, “that it’s better to marry a prince.” I run a hand over my jaw. “Yeah, maybe that’s the key.”
