With a nod, Justin removed the diamond solitaire in the platinum band from its velvet bed. Now that the moment was here, his anxiety was vanquished, and he was confident of her answer before he lifted her left hand and held the ring in position. “I’m in love with you and can’t live without you. Will you marry me, Julia?”
“Yes, of course.” She almost shrieked her answer as she thrust her finger forward to take possession of the ring as he slid it down her finger. “I love you so much, Justin. Of course I’ll marry you.” She was crying as she spoke, but her big smile revealed they were happy tears.
He was a bit teary-eyed himself, but he cleared his throat and quelled the urge to cry just as she rose from her side of the table and came to him. He grunted slightly at the impact when she threw herself into his arms and sprawled across his lap. His chest and back twinged for a moment, but the wound was almost fully healed, and it didn’t distract him from wrapping his arms around the woman he loved, holding her close, and thanking his lucky stars she had come into his life.
He would never let her go, and he was certain she would never want to leave. There would be tough times, but they would fight through them and persevere because of the bond between them, and their love for each other. She had come to him for safety, but she had been the one to save his frozen heart. He didn’t have the words to tell her that, so he focused on showing her with his body instead, and it was hours later before they finally fell asleep in each other’s arms, as they had done every night for weeks, and would do every night for the rest of their lives.
