Smiling, he kisses me again. "Good, then I can give you this."
When he pulls something out of his pocket, I scowl at him buying me something anyway.
"You liar?—"
He reveals a bright blue box I've only seen in movies.
"What's that?"
"Open it." He hands it to me, but I'm weary.
When I do, I gasp at the biggest ring I've ever seen. A princess cut with a diamond band.It's stunning.
"What's this for?"
"A weddin' ring you deserve and one I wanted you to have."
"What about the one we got in Vegas?"
"The one we were too drunk to even remember buyin'? That's fine when you're gonna get it annulled in a few weeks, but not somethin' you keep on your finger forever." He plucks the ring out and grabs my left hand, then slides it on my finger. "This is one you put on yourwifethat you're in love with."
I can't seem to lift my jaw off the ground. "I-I don't even know how you did this so fast. Isn't this company like...really expensive?" I whisper as if anyone's going to overhear when we're completely alone. But I'm too shocked to think straight.
He shrugs carelessly. "Only the best for my money-hungry, pregnant wife."
"Wilder!" I playfully shove him, but then pull him back and kiss him hard on the mouth.
"When did you do this?" I ask.
I only told him I knew I didn't need thirty days or an annulment last week.
"When we got back from Vegas."
"We were still under the month-long trial."
"I was...hopeful."
Rolling my eyes at his overconfidence, I hold up my hand, but still can't believe it. "It's beyond beautiful. Thank you, I love it."
"Oh and there's one more thing..."
I pinch my brows together when he gets down on one knee. "Will you marry me again?"
"Wait, whaddya mean?"
"Plan a ceremony. Dance at our reception. Get a weddin' dress. Say vows. The whole shebang."
"You really want all that?"
Wilder doesn't strike me as the type who'd want to fuss over wedding planning, but then again, I've been proven wrong before.
"I want that withyou."
Just when I thought I was strong enough to hold back tears, they fall down my cheeks.
"Yes..." I nod profusely. "Yes, I'll marry you again!"
He swoops me up in his arms and then cups my face to kiss me.
