Felicity saw Austin exchange knowing glances with his father and then her mother.
“Six months ago today, I finally came to my senses and took a chance on confessing my love to Felicity. Ever since that day, I’ve never looked back. That was, without a doubt, the smartest move I’ve ever made in my life. Until today.”
Little pinpricks of dawning skittered up and down Felicity’s body. The subsequent events unfolded in a surreal sort of slow motion: Austin turned toward her; he took her hand; he lowered himself down on one knee; he reached into his pocket with his free hand and pulled out a small light blue jewelry box. Somehow, he managed to open it with one hand, revealing a stunning sparkler of an oval diamond.
“Felicity Schafer, you are the woman who finally made me believe in love. Will you make me the happiest man in the world and be my wife?”
The events may have happened in slow motion, but Austin’s words were crystal clear and so was her instantaneous response. “Yes!”
The room erupted into raucous applause. Miles Fortune raised his glass. “To Austin and Felicity. To family, old and new. Happy Thanksgiving and many, many years of love and happiness.”

Switched at Birth
by Christine Rimmer
Prologue
“Happy birthday to me,” Madison Delaney muttered glumly to her enormous and beautiful bedroom in which she slept alone. It was the second of March and she was officially twenty-seven years old. “Big whoop.”
Still lazing in bed at ten in the morning, Madison finished the delicious almond essence latte whipped up for her by her excellent housekeeper, Ada. She set the coffee tray on the bed table and considered getting dressed.
But seriously, why rush? She had nothing to get dressed for. This year, she was spending her birthday at home—if you could call her huge, gorgeously decorated but essentially empty hilltop mansion in Bel Air a home. Really, she was almost never here. But due to a perfect storm of scheduling conflicts, ongoing script changes and a bunch of big-time special effects set pieces that required “further development,” Madison found herself with time off.
She didn’t like it. Working, after all, was what she did. Time off made her feel all prickly inside her own skin, like there was something she should be doing but she couldn’t quite remember what.
Maybe she ought to call a couple of friends and go out this evening. But then again, there was no one she wanted to hang with all that much. She got along with everyone, but that didn’t mean she felt close to them. And too often when she went out for a good time, it ended up with her surrounded by photographers barking rude questions at her and her security team keeping them at bay. What fun was that?
