CHAPTER Seventy- Four

　　Ryland

　　I woke with a squeal of excitement ringing through the house. What the hell Next thing, Gracie barged into our bedroom with the biggest smile on her face and eyes filled with excitement.

　　“What has got you this excited” I laughed.

　　“Ryland, I got in! I got into NYU,” she gushed.

　　I jumped up from the bed and rushed to her, wrapped my arms around and swung her around for a minute before I placed her on her feet.

　　“I am so proud of you, baby girl. I knew you would get in! They would be fools if they refused you,” I said and kissed her, “Congratulations, my love,”

　　“I still can’t believe this,” she sobbed.

　　She was crying happy tears. I pulled her to my chest and hugged her tightly. I didn’t doubt her for a second. Gracie removed herself from my embrace and handed me a sizeable unopened envelope.

　　“It is from NYU,” she said softly.
