The Christmas Treasure

  Lorilla chuckled drowsily. "Senor Beltran, I shall mend as quickly as possible."

  "I certainly hope so, Senora Beltran."

  They were both quiet for a moment, then Gabriel said, "Rilla? Thank you."

  "For what?" she asked sleepily.

  "For coming here. For staying. For giving me the greatest treasure on earth."

  "Your daughter," she said.

  "My daughter, yes. She is the second greatest treasure. But my greatest treasure is your love, my chiquita. Now be quiet and let us go to sleep."

  Lorilla's eyes filled with tears as she smiled and closed her eyes, secure in the arms of the man who loved her.
