2015
Ryder sat on the rug in Dream Lake with his new playroom built by Randall. Randall is laying beside him, playing with Ryder's finger.
"Alright, time for bed!" I announced and watch the green eyes flitted towards me and pouted, "Aww no!"
Randall chuckled, carrying Ryder into his arms and said, "Mummy says time for bed. Come on, how high do you want to go?"
"High! Very high!" Ryder laughing when Randall lifted him up in the air and ran past me, "To bed!"
I shook my head, following them to the bedroom. Randall loves to spoil Ryder. Actually, the entire Howard family members are spoiling Ryder senseless. I watched Randall settled Ryder in bed, kissed him on his forehead, "Goodnight, Ry,"
"Night, daddy. Sweet dreams,"
I walked towards my son, pulled the blanket to his shoulder and kissed him on his cheek, "I love you, Ry ry."
"Love you mummy,"

Randall and I spend the rest of the night, winding down on the terrace. Randall covered the blanket over us and kissing the top of my head, "How is work?"
"Exhausting. The gallery is ready for another exhibition," I sighed in his arms. He tightened his grip around me, "Think we got time to go for a vacation after this exhibition?"
I looked up to Randall, excited, "Really? Don't you have the upcoming project to complete?"
"I'll have dad to take over," Randall said, "We can bring Ryder to tour Europe. Or wherever you like,"
"Sounds like a plan," I said, looking at my bare fingers. It took me quite some time to finally remove the rings on my finger. And took me sometime to accept Randall, again.
Rick will forever be in our hearts. For now, I looked up at Randall, pulling his head down so that I can kiss him, "Maybe we can start by registering for our marriage before we go for vacation,"
Randall stared at me. With our fingers entwined, he tightened his grip. "Eleanor," He pulled me up to sit on his lap, his hands around my face, "Goddammit, El. I've been waiting for this moment." He started kissing all over my face.
"I love you, El. So fucking much,"
"I love you too,"
