Callum nods. Evan’s already walking toward the office.
Tania watches us. “Should you what?”
Evan returns with a small black box. I can’t contain my smile. We planned this weeks ago. Ordered it. Revised the design three times because Callum wanted something bold, Evan wanted something classic, and I wanted something big enough that everyone knew she was ours.
We finally agreed.
Evan hands me the box. Tania’s eyes drop to it.
“What is that?”
“Open it.”
She takes it. Her hands are shaking slightly as she lifts the lid. Inside: one ring. Platinum. Three diamonds set in a row.
Her breath catches.
“We wanted you to have something.” I hold the box steady. “Something that shows the world that we chose you.”
She stares at the ring, but she doesn’t touch it yet. “You three coordinated this without killing each other?”
I almost smile. “For you? We managed.”
Evan’s watching her face. “Do you like it?”
She looks up. Her eyes are glossy. “I love it.”
I take the ring out of the box. Tania extends her left hand without hesitation. The ring slides onto her finger. It fits perfectly.
She holds her hand up. The diamonds catch the light.
I brush my thumb over the ring. “This is permanent.”
Callum grins. “No takebacks, Red.”
Tania studies the ring on her finger. “Good thing you three finally got around to this. I’ve been planning the wedding for months.” She laughs.
We all laugh.
She bites her bottom lip. “I may have already asked Renata to be my maid of honor.”
Callum grins. “How long ago?”
“Six weeks.”
Callum raises an eyebrow. “Yeah? What’d she say?”
Tania smiles. “She said, ‘I always suspected you might end up with one of them. Not all three. About time, though.’”
“She’s not wrong,” Callum adds. “It is about time.”
Tania looks at all of us. “I can’t believe this is my life.”
“It is,” I confirm.
She looks at me. “We’re planning a future.”
I pull her into my arms. “We are.”
