Lyon felt his breath catch as he stepped into their bedroom to find Meredy sat in the rocking chair, their two-month old son cooing softly up at her as she smiled down at him. It was her smile that brought him up short, warmth flooding his chest and sudden tears stinging in his eyes. They had met during the war, and fallen in love in the long months of recovery that had followed and there had been little enough reason to smile during that time. Even later when things improved there was always a shadow, a faint echo of regret behind her smile and he had begun to fear that it might never disappear. However, her smile right now was dazzling, full of happiness and hope and he found himself falling in love with her all over again.
