SERAPHINA’S POV
If someone had told me three months ago that I’d end up at a family amusement park with Kieran Blackthorne, I would’ve laughed them straight into the next moon cycle.
And yet here I was—surrounded by shrieking laughter, spinning rides, and the sugary, buttery scents of cotton candy and popcorn—watching my ex-husband and our son argue over how many rounds they would go on the roller coaster.
It was surreal. Almost painfully so.
This wasn’t something I would have agreed to normally, but last night, after I answered Kieran’s call, he’d sounded so…soft, his voice lightened by something I couldn’t name.
And then he’d given me the best news I could have asked for: Daniel didn’t need to return to the private island anymore. He could stay here with me indefinitely.
I’d been so ecstatic on hearing the news that I hadn’t even hesitated before saying yes to celebrating.
Somehow, that had turned into this—a family outing. The first in…ever, I think.
