Page 18 of My Accidental Holidate

It’s like our souls have known each other forever.

“Lucy Jane Hart, I want to be your love and your everything for the rest of our lives, just like you’re mine. Please say you’ll marry me?”

She looks down at Lulu. “He looks pretty good, right?”

Lulu pants and her tail beats on the wood floor fast.

“I love you, Kurt Reynolds and yes, I will marry you.”

I slip her own diamond on her hand and lift her into the air.

She examines it. “It’s beautiful.”

“You’re beautiful.”

We seal the moment with a kiss and my family runs out of kitchen to give hugs and congratulations.

Granny chuckles. “You’re gonna get some action.”

Lucy turns six shades of red. “Oh, Grandma.”

They hug and Lucy returns to me.

We lift champagne flutes and I clear my voice.

“This woman was no accident, and we’re meant to be. I can’t wait to marry you.”

“I love you, Kurt.”

“I love you more.”
