"Dad told me. He overheard your conversation and couldn't keep it to himself."
My eyes almost pop out of their sockets.
He knew? And he didn't breathe a word?
I turn to him with furrowed brows.
"You knew?"
He nods.
"Yup. I think it was one of the reasons I knew you'd come back to me."
"So, you told your parents I was running late? What if I didn't show up?"
He shrugs nonchalantly.
"Then I would have come to you. I reached out to your sister, Emma, on Facebook an hour ago. She wasn't online, but I dropped her tons of messages she wouldn't be able to ignore."
"What did you tell her?"
"I asked for your family's home address. Then I told her I was coming to bring my future wife home."
A strong wave of emotion slams against me and a gasp breaks free. Suddenly, I wish his parents were not here.
I want to kiss him. God!
A lump forms in my throat.
"Where's Eli?"
Declan drops his head with a sigh.
"He's with his mother, and he will be back tomorrow."
With a grimace, I nod.
"I can't wait to see him, I miss him."
"I miss him too. But first," he straightens and pushes his chair back before getting down on one knee. "I know I've asked you this before, but now, I want to do it again, for real this time. I want to hear you say yes, with your eyes brimming with love for me. I want to hear you say yes, with your heart echoing mine. I want to hear you say yes, with your voice cracking with emotions. I love you, Felicity Goleman. I've loved you for a while now, but the situation I was in made it impossible for us to decipher true feelings from an act. I want to spend the rest of my life showing you how amazing I know you are. I want to spend my days loving you." He pauses for a second and glances at me imploringly. “Please marry me, Baby, and let's create magic together."
Relief floods through me. I nod, incapable of forming words as my throat feels clogged. I stretch my hand and nod again. His eyes light up and his even white teeth flash.
"Oh my!" I hear his mother's voice.
The second the ring slides on my finger. I lower my head and kiss him, my mouth hot on his.
"I love you, Declan. So much." I cry, wrapping my arms tightly around his neck and deepening the kiss.
Emma was right. This love is pure and it's beyond my wildest dreams.
