“Avi,” she says breathlessly.
“I told you I was going to marry you one day,” I say nervously. “Marry me, Cassandra May. Be my wife. Build a life with me.”
Her eyes fill with tears. “Of course I’ll marry you.” She laughs.
I lean down as she sits up, meeting in the middle as we kiss.
“I love you,” we say in unison.
Our kiss turns heated as I climb under the covers, pulling her body into mine.
“How about we spend the day in bed?” Cassi whispers in my ear.
“I think that can be arranged,” I tell her as I toss the blanket over our heads, blocking out the world.
I may have spent my life rich with money, but now with Cassi by my side, I’m far richer than I could have ever imagined.
The End.
