I slide it onto her finger before I move to stand.
Kirby jumps up to circle her arms around Carrie’s waist. “We’re all lucky duckies today. Are you as happy as me?”
“Happier.” Carrie caresses her head softly.
“After my recital today, maybe we can go to your apartment and pack up a suitcase so you can live here all the time?” Kirby asks before she looks at me. “Can we, Daddy?”
“That’s exactly what we’re going to do.”
“Yay!” Kirby jumps up and down. “Get ready to be wowed by my tap dancing moves. Uncle Holden’s aren’t as good as mine, but don’t tell him that.”
As she races back down the hallway to what I assume is her bedroom, I look into the eyes of the woman I’ll love forever. “I can’t wait to marry you, Carrie.”
“I can’t wait to be your wife.” Her gaze drifts over my face. “Do you have a date in mind?”
I nod because I’ve been planning this for weeks. “Marry me on your birthday. On the day you turn thirty, I want you to vow to be mine forever.”
Her eyes well with tears again. “That’s perfect, Rook. It’ll be perfect.”
I’ll do my best to make sure it is because she deserves that and more.
“We’re going to have such a beautiful life,” she whispers.
“We will,” I assure her with a soft kiss on her mouth. “I’ll do everything in my power every day of my life to make yours the best it can be.”
