I nodded furiously and the glass of champagne slipped from my hand, bubbling and soaking into the sand.
“Yes. Yes!” I wanted to say it for the rest of my life.
Jack discarded his glass on the sand next to mine and scooped me up in his arms, twirling me out over the water. “Oh Mattie.”
Our lips melted together, a fire burning between our bodies as the water rolled over our feet. As we went up for air, his hand caught mine and slipped a ring on it. Delicate silver etched leaves wound around my finger with a little jeweled flower in the center. Each piece sparkled with a stone set in pale yellow or purple.
“Is that an orchid?”
Jack kissed my hand. “It reminded me of you and of our time here. But if you don’t like it we can get a new one, love.”
My heart sang. “No. I love it. I love it so much. I love you so much!”
He gathered me into his arms again, his fingers gripping my back as I wound my hands through his hair. If we stayed like that forever, I’d die happy.
“It looks like we have a wedding to plan. Do you want to reuse the same things from your last one? I’m not sure how this all works.”
For the first time, the thought of all those cancelled orders and panic inducing phone calls to friends and relatives didn’t upset me. This time was different – this was Jack.
“Well, maybe we could have a small destination wedding. How’s that?”
He grinned, the corners of his eyes crinkling. “What would the destination be?”
Shrugging, I kicked at the sand before I bent to pick up our discarded glasses. “Maybe a beach? Some place tropical and romantic?”
“Oh, like Hawaii or the Caribbean?”
“Maybe – or some place even further out of the way. Like--”
“This? You want to get married here?” he asked and took my chin in his powerful hand.
I leaned into his touch. “I don’t care where we get married, Jack. Here. New York. Australia. To tell you the truth, I just want to live my life with you.”
Lips brushed my forehead and his arm slipped around my shoulder, pulling me into his chest. “I feel the same, love.”
The safety of his arms surrounded me as we wandered down the beach into our forever.
The end.
