“And I was there, waiting. Or she was there. With the baby.“ Diana turned toward him, nestling close. “He was surprised that it was a girl.“
Colby smiled. “I know. He saw it as a sort of cosmic joke on him. But he loves the baby. Almost as much as he loves the infant’s mother. This time we both dreamed the exact same dream, didn’t we?“
“Sounds like it. We set her free, didn’t we, Colby?“
“We set them both free. He was as chained as she was. They were bound together. They still are, but in a different way.“ Colby’s hand tightened around hers. “Just as you and I are bound together.“
“Nobody would believe us if we tried to explain what happened in the cave.“
“No, and I’m not sure how much of it I believe, myself. But it makes a good story. Well tell it to Tabitha when she’s older.“
“Do you think well go on having dreams about die cave now that we’ve lifted the curse?“
Colby gathered her against him, lost in her soft, luminous smile. “Honey, you might as well face it. You and I are going to be sharing our dreams for the rest of our lives.“
