When I slip in behind the steering wheel, I find her smile bigger than I’ve ever seen before. “Pierce, is this actually happening? Are you really here?”

“I’m here. You and I are going to make plans for our future. It may not all be roses and wine, but by God, we have more love between us than most have. A future with you sounds like heaven to me.”

“Agreed,” she says, then closes her eyes as she laces our fingers together again. “I’m not ever letting you send me away again, Pierce Langford.”

“No need to worry about that. I’m never letting you go again, Jade Thomas.”

Driving away, toward the setting sun, I can’t help but feel I’ve done the right thing. All I can see is happiness in her eyes, and when I glance in the rearview mirror, that’s all I find in mine too.

I do believe we’ve found our happily ever after ending after all!

The End
