“Yes,” he said, looking out of the side window. “Another day and it will be as if it was never there. I’m taking a run up to Cougar Ridge in a couple of days. Do you think you might be able to come along? I’d like to show you around there.”
“Oh, yes. Well. I’ll try. It depends if Alli is up to a couple of hours at the shop. Or I could ask Mrs. Bury to help. Yes. I’ll see what I can do.”
“Great,” he said. “Look, your car has gone.”
“Oh yes. I’d got quite used to it being there.” She looked at the spot where her car had gone into the ditch. The place where they had first met.
“It’ll be as good as new when it’s been repaired.” He looked at her, and she saw the strained look on his face and felt scared. Were they meant for each other? Had fate made a mistake?
They drove up to the farmhouse, Vic’s car was parked outside, and so was Kian’s truck. Strange, they would normally be both still at work. But then the weather was bad and Kian did have to help with Callum.
“I wonder why they are all here?” she said absently, getting out of the car. “I hope everything is OK.”
“Let’s go to the barn first,” Taylor said.
“I can’t. I have to go inside and say hello. It would be rude not to.”
“A couple of minutes alone, that’s all.”
She looked at the farmhouse, wondering if Alli had seen them coming and out the kettle on ready for them to sit down and discuss how the day had gone. Instead, she took his outstretched hand and followed him to the barn.
“Taylor, we can’t be long. I have to go in and say hello.” He swung the door open, and she stopped short. “What’s going on?”
“Welcome to your new home, Alli.” Kian came over, smiling and hugged her.
“You’re nuts, I can’t live in a barn.”
“Yes, you can. When we’ve converted it.”
She looked at Taylor, who was smiling and she punched him playfully. You were in on this!”
“Yes. You really put me on the spot when you said about looking at the apartment above the store. I knew they were all here waiting for you.”
She felt tears prick her eyes, she had been so wrong about him. “You knew about it?” She looked around. “You all knew about it.”
“Yes, honey,” said Alli, coming forward to hug her, with Callum in her arms. “This little boy needs his aunty close by. And we knew you wanted to stay here. Taylor agreed, he and Kian came in here and drew up some plans. Between them, and with Vic’s help, they should be able to get it finished in a month.”
“A month.”
“Yes. We’ll all pitch in. Then you can get married and move in here.”
“Oh,” said Taylor. He put his hand in his pocket and drew out a small box. Dropping to one knee, he asked, “Melanie, will you marry me?”
“Of course,” she said, bending down to hug him.
He took the ring out and put it on her finger. “Thank you,” he said, kissing her.
“No thank you. Thank all of you.”
They stood looking at the plans and discussing the work. Melanie grinned from ear to ear, and kept looking at her ring. She couldn’t be more happy. Here she was, surrounded by her whole family; planning her future house in the town, she loved, with the people she loved.
