He looked up at her with a mix of adoration and smugness—something that only he could pull off. “No. I think the only way it will be better is if you agree to marry me.” He smiled as he pulled a ring out of his pocket. He squinted into the bright light to see her reaction.
“Are you serious?” Jasmine asked, and she placed a hand over her mouth in surprise. “This isn’t a cruel joke?”
“Deadly serious. I never imagined that we’d have this kind of life when we were just teenagers trying to survive. Now that we are here, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Jasmine, you challenge me, you love me, and you make me a better man. Will you marry me?” he asked. The romantic in me actually had to blink back a tear. The moment was just filled with pure love.
“Yes! Yes, I will,” Jasmine answered with an excited shriek. She held her left hand out as she smiled down at him.
I felt Abby nudge my arm. She smiled at me, and I returned the gesture. “I’m not crying,” I mouthed to her.
“Sure you aren’t,” she mouthed back with a smirk.
Jones slid the ring on Jasmine’s finger, and then she tackled him. They began to make out. I had to turn my back or I was going to become uncomfortable.
“Oh my God, Mary is going to kill you. She’d want to be a part of this,” Jasmine said as she broke their tongue-wrestling contest. She smacked him on the shoulder.
“Do you actually think I’d leave her out? I don’t want to endure her wrath. She’s almost as scary as you,” Jones said with a chuckle. “Mary, it’s safe to come out. She said yes!” Jones shouted.
Mary’s form appeared from the right of a large rock formation. She barreled straight into Jasmine and Jones and smiled the whole way to them.
Jasmine squealed a sound I’d never heard come from her before. Mary wrapped them in a hug. When she released them, she grabbed Jasmine’s hand to look at the ring. Christine crowded them right after.
“Go on, go fawn over the shiny rock,” I suggested to Abby.
“What makes you think I care about the ring?” she asked me with a grin.
“Because I see you excitedly tapping your foot. You were wondering if it would be appropriate for you to go and join the fun—even as the new addition. News flash, you’re part of the group. Go check it out before I toss you over there.”
“If you insist.” She shot me a smirk before she rushed over to Jasmine and the other girls.
One day, it would be Abby’s turn, and it would be damn special—just like her.
A rescue diver is in danger of drowning. Her near death isn’t her only worry…the other is the man who saves her.
