“Because I have seen the atrium and the outcome of your design decisions, so I presume the greenhouse will be just as beautiful. Besides, you did it for me. No one has ever done this sort of thing for me, and I will cherish it forever. May I choose the plants?”

“Of course! I had some planted already, but I left room for anything you would like to add. It is yours, my dearest.”

“Thank you.” She hugged him tightly with a sniffle. “I am certain we will share many wonderful moments in it, and I am certain our children will love it.”

Phillip drew back and held her by the shoulders.

Does she mean that?

“You still wish to start a family?”

“I meant it when I said so last time.”

He drew her back into his arms and closed his eyes in relief. In the end, everything worked out for the best. All was well between them, and she no longer sought to escape him but wished to start a family with him. She was truly his just as he was hers. He had everything he could have ever wished for since that first moment he had laid eyes on her and knew he would marry her.

The End?
