DEAREST LUCY—
When I first held you in my arms, I was Claire Davis, baby doctor. But soon I'll be “Mom.” You looked at me with your dark, magical eyes–Johnny Winterhawk's eyes–and you instantly became the child of my heart. Your daddy's an incredible man, Lucy. Surely, like you, Johnny is one of God's perfect creatures. As a man, he's handsome, powerful, noble. As your father, well, there are none better. When he learned of you, he took you into his heart and home without reserve. I love him, Lucy, and I love you. And that's why I've agreed to marry him. And although he doesn't yet realize he loves me, too, soon he will…
