“I might be a real diva about this.”
“You can be if you want. You can call me at work and harass me about light fixtures.”
She laughed. “I might.”
For the past couple years she had continued to work at Ace’s. Aiden had taken a job on the Garrett ranch, owned and operated by Connor Garrett and his brother, Sheriff Eli Garrett, saving as much money as he could to put toward a down payment on their land. Their farm.
He had convinced his parents to sell theirs. It hadn’t been easy. Emotionally or otherwise. But they were in a more manageable place, living much more within their means. Not all of their problems were solved, but they weren’t poised on the brink of disaster, either.
Most important, Aiden was free to see to his own life, rather than obsessing over theirs.
“I’m adding a few new words to the list of things I use to define myself.”
He arched a brow. “Are you?”
“Yes. Oregonian. Homeowner. Loved.”
“That last one is the most important.” He dipped his head, kissing her lips. “You are so very loved.”
“So are you.”
“Do you think you have room for one more word on that list?”
“Sure. What word? If it’s ferret, I’m out.”
“You don’t want me to call you my little ferret?”
“Not especially. Anything rodent-related just isn’t all that romantic.”
“Well, good thing it’s not ferret.” He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a black velvet box. “I was kind of thinking that maybe you wouldn’t mind being called wife.”
There was a time in Casey James’s life when she’d felt like she hadn’t had a connection to anything or anyone. When she’d thought needing that, needing anyone, would be a weakness.
But loving this man for the past two years had taught her the truth was just the opposite. It took so much strength to need. To allow yourself to be needed. To stay in one place and fix your life, instead of leaving discarded, broken pieces behind.
Here, with him, she wasn’t broken anymore. She was finally whole. Finally home.
Tears filled her eyes, love filling her heart so full she thought it might burst. “I wouldn’t mind. I wouldn’t mind at all.”
