Sniffling, she peers down at it. “Where did you get this?”
I grasp her jaw and pull her in, taking her mouth with mine. “Had it made a few months ago,” I murmur. I truly never thought I’d get to give her the ring, yet I couldn’t bear the idea of taking it out of my wallet.
She gasps against my mouth. “Really?”
“Yes. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about our life. About what it could look like.”
“And how do you think it will look?” she asks through yet another wave of tears.
Collapsing to the floor completely, I pull her onto my lap. Finally, when she’s cradled against me, her heart beating against mine, I feel whole again.
When she blinks up at me through wet lashes, I know that this is exactly where I was always meant to be. Loving this woman.
“There will be lots of kissing,” I say.
Smiling, she pecks my lips once, then again.
I stroke her cheek. “And lots of laughter.”
“And sex,” she teases.
A chuckle works its way out of me. “Yeah, baby girl. I’ve got months to make up for when it comes to that.”
Her lips tremble, but they’re tipped up in a smile. “What else?”
“I was thinking maybe we could find a house. A home we can make ours.”
Green eyes shining, she perks up. “Really?”
“Yeah. Maybe look out in the ’burbs. Near War. Schools are supposed to be good out that way.”
“Schools?”
“Yeah, for all the kids the two of us are going to have.”
“You want to have babies with me?” she says, voice choked.
“You know I do. So badly that I’m tempted to flip you over and fill you right now.”
She bites her lip, her cheeks flushing. “I want that too.”
“And maybe we’ll host a holiday. Your pick. We’ll have friends over for game nights.”
“Sounds perfect,” she whispers, wonder bleeding from every word.
I nod. “It’ll be perfect because we have each other. No matter what.”
“I really like the story you’re weaving.” She snuggles against my chest, her head tucked beneath my chin, her body relaxing.
I press a kiss to her forehead. “It’s our story, baby girl, so we’ll write it together.”
EPILOGUE
Savannah
“What are you doing?”I squeal as Camden yanks me out of the car and cradles me to his chest.
We finished our photoshoot with a bottle of champagne, compliments of Sienna andJolie. Then Josie and our entire department swooned over my ring and the surprise engagement.
