“It depends on what you asked me to do.”
“Go upstairs and put on your Mrs. Claus outfit. Then, come to the front door.”
I gave him a strange look but did as he asked. When I came back downstairs, everyone had disappeared and Jacob was standing by the front door. “What’s going on?”
“You’ll see,” he grinned. “Follow me.”
My limousine was idling in front of the house. Jacob escorted me down the stairs and helped me into the back before he went around and got in the driver’s seat. “Jacob, I don’t think we should be out on the roads in this weather.”
“We aren’t going far.”
Moments later, he came to a stop in front of Tinsel Town. When he opened the door for me, he told me to close my eyes. With my eyes tightly closed, I took careful steps as Jacob led me where he wanted me to go. “Keep them closed for just a moment longer and don’t move.”
I heard a click and then the darkness behind my lids lightened. “Open,” Ronan said softly from in front of me.
I opened my eyes and realized we were standing in front of the Christmas tree in the middle of the ice-skating rink and all the Tinsel Town lights were on.
“I told you I didn’t want to wait, and I meant it. Will you marry me? Right now?”
“Well, yes, but we don’t have a marriage license or anyone to marry us,” I pointed out.
He shook his head. “I have the license, and Ranger will perform the ceremony if you agree.”
“Yes!” I beamed.
Ronan took my hands, and right there, under the falling snow, in the middle of the Christmas village my granddaughter created, surrounded by our family, and dressed as Mr. and Mrs. Claus, I married the love of my life and became Mrs. Ronan Pierce.
