A tear fell down her cheek and her lips stretched into a shaky smile.
“I think my mom would’ve wanted her ring to go to someone who calmed my darkness. I think she would’ve wanted it to go to someone who was made for me. And I want you to have it because I love you.”
Using my free hand, I tilted her head back so I could search her obsidian eyes.
“Marry me, Jessica.”
She turned in my arms and pushed up on her toes, pressing her mouth to mine. A soft laugh tumbled from her lips when she pulled away only enough to say, “What if I said yes?”
A growl built in my chest, and her beautiful, clear laugh rang free when I grabbed her in my arms and turned to walk us from the bathroom.
She wrapped her arms around my neck when I laid her on the bed and pressed her mouth to mine. “Yes. Yes. I’d marry you a thousand times.”
I sat back on my knees and grabbed for the hand clutched tightly around the ring, my body trembling when I took it from her to slip it on her finger.
Nothing had ever felt as right as this moment.
My heart had never felt more out of control.
And my darkness had never been more distant.
Fucking chaos.
