Merlin and Luna exchanged glowing looks of love.
“We do not deserve you, dear,” she cried. “But I am so happy we have you in our lives, anyway.”
“Yes, Daisy, Rosie, and Honeysuckle are absolutely the luckiest kittens alive,” Merlin said, bending down to lick his wife on the forehead.
Luna beamed up at him.“You mean…?”
“I know it was hard seeing our boy set off so young. We should give the girls the names you picked for them. Besides, they’ve grown on me.”
The cats licked each other again, and I slowly backed out of the room to give the furry family its privacy.
I was part of that family, too, and I would devote myself to those three young ladies as long as I lived.
Sure, it wasn’t the life I had planned for myself, but it’s the one I’d made along the way.
And I was going to love every second of it.
My name is Gracie Springs, and I’m not a witch. But my life is pretty darned magical all the same.
