Liz pops up from the couch and throws herself in his arms, “You can't ask me to marry you!”
“I just did baby. Say yes. Be my wife.”
“Yes,” she whispers and her eyes find mine. I give her a silent nod towards the guest bedroom. I’m stuck on the couch with a baby on my boob, so I can't move. Liz gets my cue and takes his hand leading him away from us.
“Wow, babe!” Jake says sitting next to me and kissing me and then our baby.
“I know!” I squeal, “Can you believe it? The two of them together and they just got engaged in our living room? Our living room!”
Jake chuckles, “Yeah I can believe it. I have you, June, so I know anything is possible.”
And there it is. Every day, my man makes me fall in love with him all over again. “I love you,” I whisper, careful not to wake William..
“I love you too,” he whispers back as he takes my lips.

Abby McCarthy is reader and a lover of words. She is a blogger turned author and released her first novel in May 2014. She is a mother of three, a wife and a dog person. She has always written, sometimes poetry, sometimes just to vent about failed relationships, however in parenthood she has found her voice to help keep her sanity. Words have flowed from her, to review and with the support of amazing friends in the Indie community she has decided to pursue her dream of writing! She loves to write and read romance, because isn't that something we all yearn for? Whether it be flowers and hand holding or just the right tug on your hair. Isn't that what life is about? The human connection?
