He wasn’t what she expected.

For a bachelor who’d grown up with brothers, Liam had endless patience with her two little girls who chattered nonstop on the canoe ride. And now he was surprising her again.

“What’s that?” she asked him as he approached her with a white box.

“Happy birthday, Anna.” He opened it and took out a cake with one candle.

She couldn’t stop her smile. “I can’t remember the last time I had a birthday cake.”

She reached for the knife, but the girls stopped her. “You have to blow out your candle first, Mom!”

Liam lit the candle. “Make a wish,” he murmured.

Inexplicably, tears stung her eyes as she struggled to think of something. She closed them.

I wish…I wish I still believed wishes came true.

She blew out the candle and opened her eyes. Liam stood there huddled over the cake with her two little girls at his side, and she couldn’t help her next thought.

Maybe her wish had already come true.
