As we rise, my heart races with anticipation. What could he possibly want to show me on the 27th floor?
The doors open with a soft ding, and Jack takes my hand, leading me down a corridor lined with sleek glass offices. I see a few people milling about, typing on their computers or talking on the phone.
Jack stops in front of a door with a shiny gold plaque that reads "Director of Marketing."
"Jack, what is this?" I ask, looking up at him in confusion.
He grins at me, his blue eyes sparkling. "I've made you your own office, babe. Director of Marketing. You're going to kill it."
My eyes widen in disbelief. "What? Why?"
"Because you're amazing," he says simply. “Amelia--Indy. Meeting you was the first time I felt like I could move on in life, from my past. I know that sounds crazy. I know what we did felt, honestly? Fucking wrong at times. Marking you in front of your ex.”
“Jack…I mean…that was just hot.”
“But that’s just icing on the cake. Indy, you’ve made me excited for life again for the first time in a long time. Someone once told me ‘What are billions if you don’t have someone by your side to make memories?’ I’ll never meet your dad, Indy. But he raised one hell of a woman. And I love you.”
I run up to him and pull him into a tight hug.
Tears prick at the corners of my eyes as I take in the immaculate office space. A large desk sits in the center, flanked by a comfortable-looking chair and a sleek computer. A wall of windows lets in natural light, and I can see the cityscape stretching out below us.
"When did you do all this?" I ask, still in shock.
"Last weekend. I wanted to surprise you," Jack says, grinning.
I throw my arms around his neck, pulling him into a passionate kiss. "Thank you," I whisper against his lips. “I don't know what to say.”
"Say you'll take the job," he says, a hint of a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth.
I laugh, pressing another kiss to his lips. "I accept. Director of Marketing it is."
We stand there for a few moments, taking in the view and the newly created space that will be mine in just a few short months. And in that moment, I know that Jack is the one. The one who will stand by me through thick and thin, who will support me and love me, no matter what. And I can't wait to start this new chapter of our lives together.
“You’re mine now, Indy. You’re having my kid. Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
“Good. I’m not letting you go. Ever. I love you. I really do.”
“I love you, too,” I say, as he puts his hand on my belly.
“Thank God you got hired here by the way. We really need someone who knows their shit.”
I sigh. “Life’s about to change.”
“Oh yes it is…how do you feel about private island weddings?”
EPILOGUE
Three years Later
As Ameliaand I walk down the beach, we can hear the sound of our friends and family cheering for us. I turn to take in the scene, and I can see our loved ones standing on the sand, watching us with smiles on their faces.
I spot Yoshimi clapping enthusiastically. She's here with her son Kevin, who looks a bit out of place in his formal suit. Chester and Josefina, the head yogis from a yoga retreat, are also here, dressed in flowing white linen. And there's Amelia's sister Nora, who has flown in from across the country to be here for our special day.
As we approach the group, they all start to congratulate us and offer their well wishes. Yoshimi pulls me into a bear hug, telling me how proud she is of me. Kevin shakes my hand, looking a bit overwhelmed by the whole affair.
Chester and Josefina offer their congratulations, and Josefina even offers to lead us in a yoga session the next morning to help us start our married life off right. Nora hugs her sister tightly, telling her how beautiful she looks.
