Page 120 of Unwrapping Love

Rowan was still grinning.

He pulled it out of her hand. “It’s best if I do this one. You know, like unwrapping my love for you. You know what it is, don’t you?”

She nodded her head. “I do.”

“That’s for a later date. Unless you’re saying no. If that is the case, we just had fun with empty boxes and I’ll tell you this is empty too.”

“I’m not saying no,” she said, sniffling. A tear rolled down her cheek. She wasn’t one to cry when she was happy. Never once in her life.

Rowan pulled the paper off, then flipped the lid. Inside was a heart-shaped diamond on a thick diamond band.

It was almost blinding her.

“You stole my heart six months ago. See, the six thing there again.”

“I see you’ve got a theme.”

“I do. I like to think I stole yours too and I’m never giving it back. We are meant. The stars aligned, the waves crashed.”

“The snow and ice fell,” she added, wiggling her eyebrows.

“Everything that could be thrown in the path of the other happened. Happiest day of my life was having my flight canceled.”

“Since I’ve met you, it’s been smooth sailing. Are you going to ask me or are we going to chat about all the ways we belong together?”

“You already told me you’d say yes,” he said, laughing. He slid the ring on her finger. Her hand was shaking. “Are you low?”

“No,” she said. “I’m excited. Ask me!”

“Saylor Beach. The love of my life. Will you marry me and make me the happiest man on the planet?”

“Yes. Because I want to be the happiest woman on the planet right there with you!”

The End!
