Then Brek dropped to one knee and pulled out a box. Sienna gasped and put a hand to her mouth.
Brek grinned up at her, his blue eyes twinkling and full of love.
“My sweetness. I have loved you from the start and I have told you this over and over. Because it is as true now as it was then. You are my everything. My love, my heart, my soul. My entire reason to live. The woman I have been searching for my entire life. One I never thought I would find. And I am so grateful that I finally did. You have made me happier than I have a right to be and I will spend the rest of my life trying to make you as happy. I will prove to you every day how much I love you. Will you marry me?”
She nodded her head yes as soon as he started talking and when he was done, she yelled, “YES! I will marry you!”
He grinned and stood, kissing her. Then he put the ring on her finger.
It was beautiful. A light pink emerald cut stone in the center, with white emerald cut diamonds on either side and diamonds embedded in the band all the way around.
She looked up at him and he cupped her face. “I love you too Brek. So much. Thank you for bringing me back to life. For helping me find my voice, after so many years of silence.”
He kissed her hard, putting his forehead to hers.
Trace cleared his throat, and they pulled back. Trace was grinning, and he pulled her in for a hug and then did the same for Brek.
He kissed her cheek softly and said, “I am going to go for a walk for a bit. Grace said she wants me to come for lunch.”
Brek smiled, “Tell them she said yes. Please?”
Trace grinned, “Of course.”
Then he walked out of the house and Brek pulled her into his arms again.
Kissing her until she was breathless, he led her down the hallway and into their room.
