“Yeah, maybe she just needed to make room for the next one,” he said with a smile. “Or maybe she just can’t help bein’ wise and insightful and awesome.”
“It’s all of those things.”
They both turned to find Ellie had come up beside them.
They laughed. “Of course it is,” Becca said.
“And I also did it because this town deserved to see that proposal, just like they deserve to see your wedding.” Ellie smiled at them both with genuine affection. “Yourtown deserves to see that.”
Becca felt a wave of emotion go through her, but she wasn’t aware that a tear had fallen until Beau lifted his hand and wiped it from her cheek. “Hey, Bec?”
“Yeah?” she asked, looking up at him.
“I love you more than I’ll ever be able to tell you. But I intend to show you for the rest of my life.”
Another tear slid down her cheek as she smiled. He wiped that one away too.
“I love you too. So much. Thank you for…” She sighed. “Everything.”
He wiped yet another tear. “Welcome home.”
“Oh my God.” She quit trying not to cry and just let them fall, burrowing into his chest for a big hug.
Wow. She was home. For real.
For better or worse.
To stay.
Always.

Becca turnedin front of the mirror checking out the back of the costume she had on.
This one was really good.
Beau was going to like this one a lot.
“Bec?”
Her heart tripped as she heard him come through the front door and call up the stairs.
She grinned. “Up here!”
His footsteps thundered up the stairs and she could picture him taking them two at a time.
They were going to a Halloween party tonight at Ellie’s bar and he was here to pick her up. It wasn’t actually Halloween. Everyone needed to be home onthenight to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters. So the party at Ellie’s was tonight. The twenty-seventh. Coincidentally, the two-year anniversary of the day she’d first asked Beau for opinions on Halloween costumes and started a hell of a domino effect. Not that anyone but she and Beau would realize that. If he even remembered.
“Are you ready—” He broke off as he came through the doorway to her bedroom, and he pulled up short. “Holy shit.”
That was actually exactly the reaction she’d been going for. She grinned. “I need your opinion on which costume I should wear.”
He swallowed hard as his eyes tracked over her. Three times.
“Beau?”
“Yeah?” His eyes were lingering on her breasts.
