A Late Summer Bloom (27 page)

“I love you, too.”

Julien placed his hand over her stomach. This time, there was a strong
and deliberate kick. They laughed at their daughter’s mischief, walking arm and
arm toward the house. Julien stopped, gazing at her. “She will arrive soon, you
say?”

“Very soon, I’d say a few more days.”

“Have you thought about a name?”

“Would you like
Joyal
?”

“I think I’d rather
Angelonia
.” Julien rolled
up his sleeve to display the tattoo that was as real as any living, breathing
flower. “My guess is that it filled in as you filled out.”

She raised her brow.
“
Angelonia
.
Yes. I love it.”

“Then
Angelonia
it will be.
Our late summer bloom.”
