I smile because she’s right. This is the moment I’ve been waiting a lifetime for. I know she has been, too.

“The day I met you, I had no idea what that would mean to me,” I say, trying to swallow back my emotions. “I see forever when I look in your eyes. I love you endlessly. I will cherish you until my days on earth are over.”

“Please marry me, Greer. Please say you’ll be my wife.”

“I will!” she screams. “A thousand times over, my answer is yes, yes, yes.”

I slip the ring on her finger and jump to my feet to kiss my fiancée. It’s tender and soft, and mixed with both of our tears.

“You’re a gift to me,” I whisper to her. “You and Olive are my everything.”

They are. They will always be, and I can’t wait to find out what life has in store for all of us.
