“Thanks,” I whisper.

“I hope all the things goes effectively for you and Casey.”

Watching her go away eases the knot in my abdomen, however it’s awkward. Gareth may nonetheless try to make my life troublesome earlier than I’m going, which implies we have to get all the things sorted and get out of right here as quickly as we will.

I need us each out of his attain as quickly as potential.

Alex

I nonetheless can’t fairly imagine it, however we’re on our technique to LA.

As a household.

Melanie’s go to acquired Lana shifting quick on arranging all the things. She and Casey had no passports, however it solely took a couple of days to type that out. They didn’t have rather a lot to pack after we bought all of the home goods they didn’t want.

A transport firm is caring for the objects we’re sending over, and it’s simply us and our suitcases on a long-haul flight the world over.

“Daddy, is Paw Patrol on right here?” Casey factors on the onboard leisure display screen.

“I’m undecided, sweetheart. Let’s have a look.”

Inside minutes, she’s glued to the display screen, headphones on, watching one thing that’s apparently not Paw Patrol, however will work for the journey. Or till she falls asleep.

She’s dealt with all of this like a professional. Casey had by no means been on a airplane till yesterday, once we flew to Auckland. That journey took an hour. This one from Auckland to Los Angeles is twelve hours. I’m undecided what we’ll do when she inevitably will get bored, however I’m positive we’ll work it out.

Because it seems, Lana’s by no means been on a airplane both, so it is a complete new expertise for her additionally.

I like that I’m the one who will get to share all this with them. And that it’s simply the beginning for us. My ladies may have an opportunity to see the world if this upcoming film does what I hope it does for my profession.

Midway via the flight, each of them are asleep, and I’m effectively on the best way to becoming a member of them.

My life feels full. I’ve acquired my ladies and my profession goes within the course I need it to. Every thing is coming collectively.

I rouse because the airplane shudders to a halt. Casey’s already conscious and observing me with these massive blue eyes of hers.

“You get up, Daddy?” she asks.

I attain out and stroke her cheek. “I did. The airplane simply landed.”

Lana stretches. “I feel all of us had an excellent sleep. I’m undecided we’ll be any good tonight.”

“I’m at all times good.” I maintain up my palms.

She rolls her eyes. “You might be a lot bother.”

“I good too.” Casey appears to be like between us and Lana laughs softly.

“Sure, my love. You’re at all times good.”

It feels prefer it takes perpetually to get off the airplane, get our baggage, undergo immigration, and stroll out into the airport.

Lana’s eyes develop huge, and it takes a second extra for me to see why.

Reece and Josh stand to the facet at arrivals with a bit of cardboard that claims ‘Alex and household’ on it. My coronary heart swells on the sight. Beside Josh is a woman—she’s older than Casey by fairly a bit. It should be his older daughter.
