“Michael,” she breathes, squeezing my hand. Her legs buckle, or is she bouncing?

“Juliet Hansen, will you marry me?”

Twin tears escape her eyes, and she nods. “I will.”

I pull out the ring and slide it onto her finger. Then I stand and draw her into me. “Are you sure? Am I moving too fast?” I murmur before I press a kiss to her lips.

She grabs my face with both hands. “Don’t go changing your mind on me now.”

“I love you,” I whisper.

“I love you, too.” She beams, and I get lost in those green eyes. I’ll never get tired of hearing her say those words.

My lips descend on hers.

I smile at Juliet. “Do you want kids?”
