us. We need to make arrangements to bring her and Theo from San Azula. She has family on the continent, so I think she’ll be willing to relocate … hopefully. I don’t want to lose her.”

Nyssa started. “Are we staying here, then?”

“We kind of have to.” He pushed his hair back from his forehead. “Things will be a little different going forward. With Rivera gone, Dalhart sans Rivera Incorporated is my responsibility. It’s more than just a corporation. It’s the livelihood of hundreds of factory workers, repairmen, and shop owners.”

“You’re right. That’s important.” A tinge of doubt crept into her happiness. “I’m not sure how to be a millionaire’s wife. What will I do?”

“Whatever you want. I’m sure the boardroom and the bottom-line will take up a lot of my time at first, but once I’ve gotten some good employees in the right positions, I hope to be able to delegate that and hand off the running of the corporation to more experienced, qualified hands. I’m an inventor, not a businessman. Maybe we can work together, in a shop, making the next generation of technology.”

“I’d like that.”

“It will be an adjustment for both of us.”

“We’ll get through it.” She reached across the table to take his hand. “Together.”

“Together.” He smiled, his brown eyes sparkling.

She dropped her gaze. Her heart quivered like a taut wire. “So what next generation technology do you plan to master first?”

“I was thinking about an automated dishwasher.”

Nyssa grinned. “Mrs. H will love that. Do you think you’ll use water jets or brushes?”

“Probably both.”

“And it will need to be made of rust-proof metal … and lightweight.”

“Of course.” He rubbed his thumb across the back of her hand. “Do you know how attractive you are when you talk like that? As eager as I am to work on the next generation of technology with you, I’m even more excited to work on the next generation of Dalharts.”

Her face warmed. “It’s going to be a good life for us, isn’t it?”

“Yes.” He guided her around the table and into his lap for a gentle kiss. “It is.”

The End.

ABOUT H. L. Burke

Born in a small town in north central Oregon, H. L. Burke spent most of her childhood around trees and farm animals and always accompanied by a book. Growing up with epic heroes from Middle Earth and Narnia keeping her company, she also became an incurable romantic.

An addictive personality, she jumped from one fandom to another, being at times completely obsessed with various books, movies, or television series (Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and Star Trek all took their turns), but she has grown to be what she considers a well-rounded connoisseur of geek culture.

Married to her high school crush who is now a US Marine, she has moved multiple times in her adult life but believes home is wherever her husband, two daughters, and pets are.
