I shake my head. “Silly, Jules. There’s no such thing as too much celebration.”

I place the tray in front of her.

She gasps and her hands fly to her mouth.

“Oh my God!” she exclaims. The sound comes out muffled. “Are you––” Her eyes lower to the plate. “I mean–– Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God.” She shakes her head nervously. “Levi, is this for real?”

I drop to one knee.

“It’s as real as the love I feel for you, Jules.”

“I’m the luckiest woman in the world to have found you,” she sobs.

“I think we found each other,” I correct.

“Okay,” she lets out a nervous laugh.

“When I said the next three days are all about you, I meant it. This wasn’t just about us taking a break from LA. I wanted to whisk you away to a place where it would be just the two of us.”

I shared my plans with Linc because I thought I was moving too fast. He assured me I wasn’t. Everything feels right with this woman.

“Jules, will you marry me?” I read the message that’s iced on the cake.

She sucks in a breath and laughs as tears well in her eyes. “You crazy man,” she accuses.

“I’m crazy foryou,” I correct. “I fucking love you, Jules.”

She blinks at me wordlessly.

“I want you to be my wife and the mother of my children. I want to love you forever.”

A river of tears stream down her beautiful face.

I reach up and wipe them away with my thumb.

She grabs my hand in hers and peppers it with a flurry of soft kisses.

“I know it’s fast, but I—”

“You had me at the cake, Levi,” she says, through her tears.

“So it’s all about my ability to order the best cake on the island,” I tease.

A smile breaks on her gorgeous face.

“I love you so much, Levi. The last couple of months have been a dream. Becoming your wife is just the icing on the cake.”

“That darn cake again,” I grumble.

She laughs harder.

I take her hands in mine.

“Jules Salinger. My girlfriend and the woman I love with every fiber of my being.” Her lips quiver at my solemn tone. “We’re going to have an amazing life together,” I state.

She tightens her grip.

I glance down at the delicate hands that are encased in mine and back up to her smiling hazel green eyes.
