It was bonus that Callie actually liked school and since she changed her major to journalism, she was exited about her future. All this happened with in the last month, so much had changed since the wedding. Our relationship hadgrown.

We were closer thanever.

Asking her to marry me was the logical next step. Besides, it was the same words I said to Preston on his wedding day. He couldn’t see his life without Kate. It was the same way I felt about myCallie.

I put the food away. We could have it forbreakfast.

I flipped on the television and vegged out with Nip and Valentine on mylap.

I hadn’t experienced a quiet off-season in a while. Three years ago, it was Maria. Two years ago, it was the demise of Maria. Last off-season, before Callie started school, it was the two of us all over the world. Now that she was in school, she didn’t have as muchfreedom.

That’s why I was looking forward to her springbreak.

We were meeting Preston and Kate in Aspen for five days. Now, that she said yes, it would be the perfect time to do some scouting for thewedding.

I wokeup when the dogs jumped up and ran to thedoor.

“Hey guys.” Callie said as she dropped her bag and kneeled down to give them herattention.

I stretched and satup.

“Hey baby,” I said. My eyes immediately went to her left hand. “Where’s yourring?”

She looked down and then at me as she reached in her backpack, pulled out the box and slid the ring back on herfinger.

“I didn’t want to tell Dad with Mom not there. She would be so pissed.” Callie pushed a strand of hair behind her ear andsmirked.

I narrowed my eyes, but didn’t speak. Her explanation made since, but …I thought once I put that ring on her finger, she would never want to take itoff.

I shook the thought out of my head. She wore itnow.

She’d saidyes.

I had nothing to worryabout.
