“Not going anywhere,sweetheart.”
“Do you trust me?” I question him as I stare into hiseyes.
Noah’s gaze turns serious and his deep voice leaves no room for wonder. “With my life. Do you love me?” he tosses itback.
“In every fiber of mybeing.”
“Are you planning to find yourself a new sexyactor?”
I smile. “There’s no one sexier than you,baby.”
Noah laughs, kisses me, and then asks the last question in our little skit. “Do I give you everything youneed?”
In my peripheral, I see Aubrey and Finn standing there, watching. With the four of us here, I feel complete. For so long, I’ve said there was no reason to get married, it’s just become a thing. I’ve been happy, blissfully so, and I was getting paid from Scott, so there was that, too. But I see it in Noah’s eyes each time I sayit.
And right now...I don’t want to say what I’d normallysay.
In this moment, I want to give him back something he’s givenme.
“Noah,” I say softly. “Will you do something forme?”
Confusion sweeps across his face. “Anything.”
“Ask me to marry you, just one last time,” I say with my heart pounding against mychest.
Noah sucks in a breath, looking for something in my eyes. I don’t know if he’s worried I’m joking, but I let him see everything in myheart.
I wait, praying he wasserious.
“Kristin, will you marry me?” His voice is thick with emotion and there’s a shine in his eyes that wasn’t there a momentago.
I take his face in my hands and smile. “Yes, I’ll marryyou.”
Before I can kiss him, two sets of arms are wrapped around us, and tears of happiness stream down my face. I have everything I could ever need . . . andmore.
