When dinner was over, Sergei closed his hand over Alissa’s and murmured, ‘I hate leaving you but I love coming back home to you, moyo zolotse.’
‘What are you calling me?’
‘Literally? “My gold”, and you are.’ Sergei closed her possessively into his arms, staring down at her with brilliant dark eyes warmed with love. ‘When I met you, I struck a gold mine.’
Alissa smiled up at him, touched by his sincerity and grateful for the strength of the love they shared and the joy that Evelina had given them and their families. ‘I’m incredibly happy with you, too.’
‘I love you, moyo zolotse.’
