“Then will you kiss me some more?”
“Forever, if you’ll let me. I love you, Holly.” He fell to one knee and pulled a velvet box out of his pocket. “This was my grandmother’s ring, and I’d be honored if you’d accept it. I want you to be my wife. Sam’s mother. Will you have us?”
Fresh urgency spiked into her, coupled with a love so fierce she could no longer contain it.
She knelt beside him, and he placed the ring on her left hand.
“I love you, Jack. And I love Sam. I would love nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with the two of you.” She leaned into him and kissed the rough stubbled skin below his ear. “You’ve given me back my dream.”
“And you’ve given me mine.”
He lowered his lips to hers and kissed her.
