“But, Dad,” I start to argue.
“For Rhett’s sake,” he yells.
“Oh, sure,” I say, changing my mind in a split-second which makes Dad and the others laugh.
They strap us in, and as we move to the edge of the podium, Rhett’s arms tighten around me.
“It’s going to be fun,” I say as I start to lean to the side.
“Evie.” The urgency in Rhett’s voice grabs my full attention, but it’s too late to stop from jumping as we fall over the side. “Maaaaaaaarryyyyyyyy meeeeeeee,” Rhett screams all the way down.
When I finally catch my breath, and we’re swinging from side to side, I press my mouth to Rhett’s and kiss him with everything I feel at the moment.
When the cord jerks, Rhett breaks the kiss, and breathless he asks, “Will you marry me?”
“Rhett Daniels, you sure know how to make a girl weak in the knees.” I wrap my arms around his neck and whisper in his ear, “Yes.”
He hollers so loudly, I press my ear against his chest, so I don’t lose my hearing.
When the guys up on the bridge hear Rhett’s crazy hollering, one of them shouts, “She said yes.”

Dear Hayden,
I miss you so much. I can’t believe you’ve been gone for eight months already. You’re going to want to reconsider marrying me when you see me again. I’m huge!
I have a surprise for you. Our little bean finally decided to show us what SHE is. Yes!!! We’re having a daughter.
I hope she has your eyes. God, I miss your eyes most.
I can’t wait for you to come home so we can get married and be a family. Just you, me, and our darling daughter.
Please keep yourself safe. Our daughter is going to need you.
We love you, Hayden.
Your Joey & Little Bean.
Reading my mom’s words make me feel so much closer to her. She was excited to have me, and that makes all the difference in the world.
