Whoa. Sable’s heart jumped into her throat as Jethro got down on one knee. Just like he had a week ago to tie her boot.
She wasn’t wearing shoes with laces.
“Sable Blair Hollingsford, you are the most exquisite woman I’ve ever met. You’re smart, sexy, loyal, and beautiful. And while you like to pretend you’re made of stone, I know that you’re far softer than that. I promise not to tell.”
He smiled, looked at her with those deep brown eyes that could be stern or loving, but it was always clear he adored her. Sable sniffed because she was going to cry again, goddammit.
“If you would do me the honor of being my wife, I promise to devote the rest of my days to keeping you safe and happy. I want to be your daddy for always because you’re my whole world. Will you marry me?”
There was a sniffling sound that wasn’t hers. When Sable turned her head, she caught Hudson wiping at his eyes.
“What? Ian needs to clean in here, it’s all dusty.”
Ian smirked at him but then looked pointedly at Sable. “I’ll do it later. It’s not every day there’s a proposal in your living room. Are you going to answer the poor guy or what? Don’t leave him hanging.”
Right, yes, she should answer Jethro, although how could he not know already? Voicing it seemed like a formality because the moment he first held her, she had known. Knew they belonged together. It was as obvious as the sky being blue, the grass being green, and blood being red. Nevertheless she’d say it out loud.
“Yes, Jethro. Daddy. I’ll marry you.”
She’d never seen him smile so bright as when she agreed to be his wife and she felt like the happiness must be shining off her as brightly. She just hoped they didn’t blind Hudson and Ian and Ryker.
Jethro rose and picked her up in his arms, swung her around, which made her giggle. He always made her giggle.
“You just made me the happiest man alive, little miss.”
