“I knew. Not the falling-off-the-mountain part, but I knew if you’d only give me a chance, we could have something amazing.”
“You were right. You’re always right.”
“Could I please have you say that again so I can record it?”
“Absolutely not. Hey, Ty?”
“Yeah, baby?”
“If you, you know, wanted to get married at some point, I’d be down with that.”
His entire body went still in the second before he raised his head to make eye contact. “Really?”
Charley was immediately shy and uncertain, two emotions she rarely experienced, especially with him. She nodded since the lump in her throat made it hard to speak.
“When and where? You say the word, and I’m there.”
“Maybe in the spring?”
“Are you proposing to me?”
“Do you want me to?”
“Hell yes. And make it good. I’ve waited a very long time for this.”
Charley giggled. “Tyler Westcott, love of my life, will you finally make an honest woman out of me and marry me in the spring?”
“Hmm, let me think about it.”
“Tyler!”
He lost it laughing. “Yes, Charlotte Abbott, love of this life and all the ones to come, I’ll marry you in the spring. With bells on.”
She hugged him tightly.
“Did you get me a ring?” he asked.
She poked his side.
“I’m a traditional kind of guy, which means I’ll be getting you a ring to seal this deal.”
“You don’t have to.”
“Oh yes, I do, because I’m only getting married once, and we’re going to do it right. What changed, sweetheart?”
“I’m not really sure, but at some point in the last few months, I started thinking more about how maybe we should get married.”
“I’d marry you tomorrow if we could.”
Charley caressed his handsome face. “Thank you for being patient with me and never pushing me to be anyone other than who and what I am.”
He kissed her softly. “I love who and what you are, and I always will.”
Gavin returnedto the bedroom he was sharing with Ella and their kids, carrying a mug of the peppermint tea that was the only thing that helped with nausea when Ella was pregnant. She had put the light on in the closet so he could find his way to the bed without spilling the hot tea on their sleeping little ones.
He handed it over to her.
“Thank you.”
