A Humble Heart

is really our second honeymoon, and well,” she shrugged, “we didn’t want to be apart from the kids for that long so we decided to make it a family trip as well. I apologize for not telling you sooner.”

“It’s my fault. I asked Tyler to tell him and I don’t think he’s gotten a chance,” Edward said as he leaned down to press a kiss to his wife’s neck.

Zack chuckled. “No, I completely understand. I was married for twenty years before my Jenny passed on. With five kids I know exactly where you’re coming from.”

“Than you, Zack,” Dana said. Edward released his hold around her waist and took her hand into his.

“Shall we?” he asked. He looked at Zack. “When we get to the hotel you can have the rest of the night off. The kids are all set. They’re each carrying a phone and have a tracking device is in each of their Claugdah rings.”

“Not to mention the two heavily armed bodyguards and Deana,” Dana added.

“I think Deana is the most dangerous one,” Edward said teasingly earning a playful slap.

They began walking towards the exit. They passed vendors, happy families, and kids wearing Mickey Mouse ears. Men and women stopped to stare at them, but they didn’t seem to notice. They only had eyes for each other.

“Excuse me? Mrs. Pierce, can I have your autograph?”

a woman asked nervously. She chewed on her bottom lip anxiously as she waited for Dana’s reply.

“Of course, who do I make it out to?” Dana asked, smiling warmly as she took the pad of paper and pen from the blushing woman. That’s one of the things that Edward loved about her, she made time for everyone and never made anyone feel bad. She enjoyed meeting her fans and getting to know them. That hadn’t changed over the years and it still surprised her when someone wanted her autograph. It never went to her head. She was still his down to earth Dana and he absolutely adored her.

The End.
