She sighed in frustration and flipped to the back page.
Instead of a page filled with text she found a ring. Taped to the page.
A large, sparkly engagement ring.
She looked up at Kevin in shock.
His hands were shaking but Kevin somehow managed to remove the ring from the page. He held it up before her suddenly teary eyes and spoke softly. “Jamie. I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out a way to show you how much you mean to me. No matter what words I came up with they just weren’t good enough because there really isn’t a way of expressing how I feel about you without sounding like a sappy Hallmark card. So, I’m going to say what all men say when they are completely besotted with the woman who gives them all the Affection, Admiration, Acceptance and Approval they could possibly ever want. I love you. So much. More than I ever thought possible. I want to spend every single day of my life bringing you joy and my nights making you squeal.” He cleared his throat and spoke a little louder. “If you agree to marry me I’ll do everything in my power to do both. Will you marry me, Angel?”
Jamie felt a huge wave of emotion wash over her. It was almost too much. Looking at his gorgeous, hopeful face she wanted to tell him exactly how she felt but words failed her. He was right. There weren’t any good enough. So instead she just nodded wildly and held out her left hand.
Kevin pushed the ring onto her appropriate finger and scooped her up into his arms. He squeezed her tight against her chest for a long moment and then kissed her wildly as he sat back down on the window seat with her cradled in his lap.
“So, just so we’re straight. We’re getting married?” He said, pulling back to study her face.
She nodded again and laughed as he began undoing her dress.
“And you love me too, right?” He asked as he revealed her matching blue bra. “You’ve never actually said the words with your clothes on, so I just want to be sure before I have you naked.”
Finally, she was able to speak. “Oh yes. I absolutely love you. Totally and completely. I’m so lucky to have you, Kevin. I want to marry you. More than anything.” She reached up and wound her arms around his neck and whispered against his cheek. “Please, please. Never leave me. I couldn’t bear it.”
Kevin smoothed his hand down her back in a soothing gesture. “Angel. I’m not going anywhere. Ever. Consider that a Love Law I’ll never break. Okay?”
She nodded once more and then kissed him with all the love she’d been holding back for months. It was the first of many kisses that afternoon.
Needless to say, they missed the end of the party. Clay, always so thoughtful, was kind enough to clean up and lock the door when he left.
He did, however, look a little puzzled as he walked out to his car. Why do I hear dolphin sounds coming from the loft? He thought to himself. Shrugging, he honked the car horn in farewell and drove down the hill. In his mind he was already planning Jamie’s engagement party. He was fairly certain Rex had a lovely gold G-string that would be perfect for the occasion.
