Just as they were a perfect fit.
“It suits you.” He lifted her hand to examine the ring.
She blinked to clear her vision. “You know, until I met you, I was beginning to think this would never happen. That the romance in my life would be confined to novels and chick flicks.” She leaned closer, across the console. “But you, Brad Mitchell, made all my romantic dreams come true. You’re better than any heartthrob in a book or a movie. And I feel like the luckiest woman in the world.”
“The luck was all mine.” He closed the distance between them, until they were a whisper apart. “I think we should make this engagement official.”
“I’m in.” She put her arms around his neck.
Without wasting another moment, he pressed his lips to hers in an achingly tender kiss that expressed with wordless eloquence the depth of his love and devotion. A kiss that told her she was cherished beyond measure. A kiss filled with a promise of the passion to come for all their tomorrows as man and wife.
The world around them vanished as Cara gave herself to the embrace on this street in a small Missouri town that no one else might think was anything special.
But for her, it was magic.
Because this was the official beginning of their happily ever after.
Guaranteed.
