The Heartbreaker of Echo Pass by Maisey Yates

EPILOGUE

SHEDIDWORRYwhen she found out she was pregnant. She worried that it would be hard for him. But when their son was born, and Griffin held him, tears pouring down his face, Iris knew that she didn’t have to worry at all.

Griffin was a wonderful father. Protective, but in a reasonable way. And seeing him with their son only made her love him more.

She pulled out the little photo album that they’d put together of Emma. Because they had vowed that they would tell Jack about his sister in heaven someday. Because they were going to share all the love between them. And that included the love and loss that had built Griffin into the man that he was.

The husband he was. The father he was.

She wasn’t afraid of it anymore. She saw it as a testament to his strength.

The man that loved her. Loved their son. And didn’t hold anything back.

He put their little boy down in his crib, and then looked up at her and she felt...

Beautiful.

Loved.

Whole.

She felt more than good enough. She no longer felt like she didn’t fit her name. And it wasn’t because she suddenly thought she was more like a flower than she’d ever been before.

It was all in the way he said it. Like an Iris was the most beautiful, cherished thing in all of creation.

And he said it, just then, and took her in his arms, kissing her deep and long.

Iris was Griffin’s.

And that was more than enough.
