I stroll into my penthouse to find Aspen sat at her desk overlooking the window that gives the best view of London. I make my way towards her, only to pause. She looks so ethereal in this moment as the lights of the city hit her. Jesus, I love this girl.
She turns to face me with a smile. “Hey,”
I continue my steps towards her and pull her into my arms. “Hello, little lamb,” I kiss her hard like she is the air I need to breathe. She chuckles, breaking the kiss. “Where’s our daughter?”
“Asleep. She was grouchy today, and I just managed to get her down before you got home.”
Perfect. I was going to do this somewhere more romantic, like at the top of The Shard, but where is more romantic than our home? The place I saw her again after all those years. Before she can say anymore, I drop down to one knee. She gasps, her sapphire eyes widening as they fill with tears.
“Aspen. You are the love of my life. My everything. You and Ella have made me whole. I can’t thank you enough for coming into my life, for giving me my daughter. There are no adequate words for what you both mean to me. All I know is that I want to spend the rest of my life with you. So little lamb, will you do me the honour of being my wife? Being my forever?”
“Yes,” Aspen cries. I smile as I push on the platinum band with a big pear-shaped diamond. Looking down at the ring on her delicate finger, I feel like the luckiest bastard alive. My little lamb is finally mine.
“Mine,” I say.
“Yours.” She replies with tears streaming down her gorgeous smiling face.
And then I kiss her with everything I have. Possessing her. Claiming her. Making her mine.
My little lamb.
Would I have done anything differently?
No.
Would I change anything?
Also no.
I wouldn’t have us or our life any other way.
***
The End.
