“I agree. It’s fabulous.”
After they had eaten their fill, Dominic stepped out for a moment and then returned with a goofy smile on his face. What was he up to? He closed the door behind him, and then stared at her for long moments.
“Are you okay?”
“I am. Nervous, but all right.”
“What are you nervous about?” Had something else happened with his family or hers?
“About your answer.”
“My answer to what?”
She watched him swallow, and then he pulled a small velvet box out of his pants pocket. “Oh my God.” Tears sprang to her eyes as Dominic got down on one knee in front of her and opened the box. “Holy shit…” She’d never seen a diamond so damn big in her life. It was stunning. Set off by tiny red stones, delicate gold strands wove through them and around the diamond.
“Angela, I have never felt this way before. I love you so much. I would give my heart and soul for you. Will you do me the extraordinary honor of becoming my wife?”
“Dominic—I love you, too. I’m so … this is … Yes. Yes, of course I will be your wife.” She could barely speak. Tears streamed down her face, and her breath hitched in her throat.
As he slipped the ring on her finger, it was no shock at all to find it fit perfectly. He never did anything half-assed, after all. Dominic smiled, and then Angela giggled as overwhelming joy bubbled up and filled her entire being. He stood and lifted her to her feet, pulling her close.
She’d lived most of her life in a lie, but that was over. Dominic had lived a lie, too, in order to survive. They both had, and in doing so they’d found each other. Now they were free. Free to live, free to laugh, and free to love.
She kissed her fiancé with all the passion and happiness that filled her body, and his kiss overflowed with joy and passion as well. Angela had more than she’d ever dreamed possible in this seductive, charismatic man, and she intended to spend every moment of her life making sure he knew how very, very much she loved him.
