“That you have.” Christian fell in next to Lars as the four of them walked back inside the house. “’Tisn’t every day I get a brand new son-in-law. We have toasts to drink, food to share, and tall tales to spin.”

“It is not every day I become part of something this special.” Lars beamed. Gratitude swelled in his chest. “Thank you.”

Christian turned. “For what?”

“The gift of your daughter and the rest of your family.” He met the other man’s gaze. “I was alone for far too long.”

“Sure and you’ll never be alone again.” Christian clapped him on the back.

Leona handed him a glass of champagne and said, “To a long and happy life.”

“I’ll drink to that.” Tamara grinned and picked up a champagne glass of her own.

“Ja. To a long and happy life for us all.” Lars lifted the delicate Waterford crystal flute to his lips and drank.
