Page 46 of A Miracle for the Confident Cowboy

Where would they live? What would they be together? Could she move to England if he decided to head in that direction? She didn’t know and right now, she could be patient and wait.

Sophie’s eyes locked with his and they shared another smile. She could wait because she was happy. They were both happy.

Those at the table chatted about their plans for the rest of the week. Duke’s family would be heading out tomorrow. Pippa would be working at the restaurant. Life would return back to normal.

Duke reached for her left hand and laced his fingers with hers. He brought her hand to his lips and kissed it before turning his attention to the conversation at the table. Sophie could be happy anywhere as long as she had him.

Her gaze snagged on Pippa’s across the table and her friend winked.

Before Sophie had a chance to grasp what the gesture meant, she felt something cold slide along her ring finger.

A gasp tore from her throat and several members at the table sent her concerned looks. She flushed and released a laugh,trying her hardest not to bring more attention to herself. Then she looked down to find the most beautiful ring she’d ever seen. It was a pear-shaped stone surrounded by swirls of platinum and smaller diamonds.

Her eyes lifted to Duke, seeing the question burning in his gaze. He tipped his head, watching, waiting.

“Sophie, would you like some potatoes?” Allie asked at her side.

Without looking in Allie’s direction, Sophie’s gaze remaining locked on Duke, she murmured, “Yes.” There was no hesitation. No fear. This was where she was meant to be.

Allie placed the potatoes in front of her and Duke took the bowl before dishing her up a scoop. He leaned closer to her, his lips grazing her ear. “You’re all the magic I’ll ever need.”

And she believed him.

Now that Sophieand Duke are getting married, how will Gus and Daisy get along when they’re going to have to live together as brother and sister?
