Cecilia

I wake up, and my heart breaks again when I remember the events of yesterday. I go to rub my eye only to get hit in the head by something heavy.

I look down at my left hand and shriek in glee at the engagement ring on my finger.

My engagement ring.

I look over at a sleeping Roman and shake him awake.

“How? When?” I stutter through the questions, my heart the fullest it’s ever been.

“Bash found it in a pawn shop. We all went looking. I told you I’d get them back. I’m your hero, remember?” he tells me with a lazy grin and pulls me into him.

I kiss him frantically, needing to convey how important this is to me.

I don’t care if it was Bash that found it. Roman’s the one who sent him looking. Roman, my hero. Forever my hero.

Nothing could make me love this man less.
