Story: The Christmas Bet
My hands cross over my chest as I let out a sob. “Oh my god, Conner. Yes. Yes!” I cry out.
He jumps up, and his hands go to my face, pulling me in for a kiss. “I love you, Allie.”
Before I can respond, I hear cheers come from above us. I look up and see our friends and family standing on the balcony above ours, jumping and clapping.
“Um, were they there the whole time?”
“Yeah. I couldn’t have done this without them, so I felt they needed to see it all the way through.”
“I love you, Conner. I can’t believe you did all this.” I smile as I look up at him.
“For you, I would do anything.” His lips press against mine, and my world shifts. I’m going to marry this man.
When we pull apart, our friends and family have made their way down to hug and congratulate us. My heart swells with all the love we have around us.
Conner was right; he just replaced the worst memory I had of us with the best one.
I couldn’t love this man any more than I already do, but I would now have a lifetime to try.
The End.
