Now that I enter the house with open eyes, I see there’s a whole new wing added to the house. Just like how the hallway moves towards the left to their bedrooms, now there’s a hallway that goes towards the right of the kitchen that leads to something else.
“I want to show her,” Ana grabs my hand and pulls me towards the opening.
“It’s not done, so use your imagination, but this open room is your space, and next to it is space for your library. I even suggested steps for Cora to climb the wall next to it.” Ana holds her hands up like a spokesperson showing off a fancy new car.
“You want me to move in?” I ask, looking at the room, with him behind me in the hallway. I like that he’s giving me space to move around. Time to imagine what this could be for us. Imagine our lives together.
The bedroom is just an empty room right now, but he’s only been working on this for a week. This is remarkable. This is not where I expected him to be spending all his time right now. He even added a rug that I earmarked on his Pinterest board as one that I loved for a family home.
I turn around to flick my gaze down to see him on his knee.
“I love you, Jules. Please marry me.” He opens a box and holds it up for me to see. It’s a large emerald with five small diamonds hugging the top of it.
“Is that a cat paw?”
“I knew you’d get it,” Ana says. “I helped him picked it out.”
Adriel says, “You don’t have to answer right away. You don’t have to move in right away. Just please know that we love you and want you here. That we want you in our lives.”
Just like with our date, I can tell that nothing here is half-hearted. And as immediately as I knew our feelings were instantly in bloom when we first met, I know what my answer is right now just as fast.
“Yes. Yes to Ana. Yes to you. Yes to your plan. Yes to our life together. Just, yes.”
