“Of course.I told you, everyone’s going to love you.”
I turn my face toward his, staring up at him from where myhead rests on his chest.
“You know, Daddy gave us his blessing.”
“I’m a great catch, why wouldn’t he?”
I smack his chest, and he chuckles.“That right there is whyhe shouldn’t have.”
“Okay, I’ll stop.What did he say?”
“He asked me if you’re a good man, and if you treat me likea queen.”
“And what were your answers?”
“Yes… and yes.Then he asked me if you make me feel safe.”
“And?”
“Yes.”He strokes my cheek with the backs of his fingers,staring down at me tenderly.“And then he asked me if you make me happy.”
“Do I?”
“Yes, you do.”
“I’m glad, because you have made me the happiest man on theplanet.”
“I have?”
“Isn’t it obvious?”he asks.
“Lunch is ready, you two,” Clara interrupts before I cananswer.
I turn to Clara with a smile.“Thanks.”
Before stepping inside, I turn to him and take his hands inmine.As I stare into his eyes, it’s crystal clear.He’s happy.Imakehim happy.
“You know, I was scared to leave New York, but now… I’m gladI did.”
“Me, too, honey.Me, too.”
As he smiles down at me, I somehow feel…whole.He’sbrought so much joy to my life in such a short time.I need to do something toshow my appreciation.Maybe I could get him a gift.
That’s it.As soon as he leaves, I’m scouring the Internetfor the perfect gift for my perfect man.

“You looksohot.”
“Ethan, stop!”
She giggles and bumps me with her sexy ass.
“Why?Come on….”
