Kiss Me Under the Mistletoe: A Small Town Holiday Novella Collection

But still!
She needed to get all of the time in with him that she could, before she had to hit the road again.
Jennifer showed Bonnie the nursery, a small room off to the side that was ready and waiting for the baby’s birth, decorated beautifully as always. Jenn was so talented when it came to interior decorating.
Where is Luke?
The sound of a bell jingling had Bonnie heading for the front area. She wasn’t sure if Jennifer had even been talking when she walked away and she was probably going to have to apologize for being rude later, but being apart from Luke for…checking…19 minutes was about 19 minutes too long in her estimation.
She came around the corner to find…
Luke with a box in his hands? Why was there a box in his hands? And what was…
The world slowed and then stopped as she saw the glint of light off the diamond.
On the ring.
In the box.
There were tears then, streaming down her face, and Bonnie didn’t know whether to throw herself into his arms and cry, “YEESSSS!!!” for the whole world to hear, or throw herself into his arms and just cry.
“Luke, I can’t…we can’t. Where will we live?” She kept dashing at the tears on her cheeks with the backs of her hands but the flow was never-ending.
She walked slowly towards him, her eyes flicking back and forth between his eyes and his box. It was a silver band and a gorgeous princess-cut diamond and…
How did he know that’s what I wanted?!
And
Oh God, why are you torturing me?
“I need an accounting partner, you know,” Jennifer said behind her. Bonnie whirled around and for the first time, noticed a second desk.
Two desks.
Jennifer held up a nameplate and through the blur of her tears, Bonnie saw Bonnie Patters0n-Nash engraved on it.
“Yes!” she cried, throwing herself at Luke.
“Yes to which question?” Luke asked, his arms wrapping around her, staring down at her, his dark chocolate eyes still a little worried, a little unsure.
“Yes to both!”
He picked her up then, pulling her against his chest, the panic in his eyes fading away, swinging her around and around.
“Yes, I will marry you, Luke Nash!” And he kissed her, and the moment was endless and yet it seemed to last only a moment. Or a lot of moments. Bonnie wasn’t sure. She wasn’t sure of much right then, except how much she loved this man in front of her.
“I love you, Luke,” she breathed against his lips.
Jennifer said something as she slipped past them and headed outside, but Bonnie didn’t hear her. Her world had narrowed to this gorgeous man in front of her.
“I love you, Bonnie Rae Patterson,” Luke breathed against her lips. “I can’t wait to start our life together.”
Which sounded just like heaven.
