I pull away and place the ring on her finger. She stares at it, almost in disbelief. Then she pulls the ring off, checking the inside. When she sees it, she looks up at me, softly saying what is engraved inside the ring:If Only You Knew.
“If only you knew how much my heart belongs to you,” I say to her.
She nods and puts the ring back on.
The twins and Olive come barreling down the stairs, hooting and hollering their congratulations. Liv has tears coming down her cheeks, and I see her smile expand as she looks at me. She nods her head slightly, as if she is trying to tell me I did good. I hug each of them and thank them for helping me make this happen.
Becca returns her gaze to me and soon she’s hugging me again.
“I love you more than I thought possible, Shane Philips.” She pulls herself away enough to look me in the eyes. I bring my hands to her cheeks, “Not as much as I love you, Mrs. Philips.”
From the moment I saw Becca in that high school hallway, I knew she was my path to forever. Little did I know, our path would have roadblocks, but it all led to this very moment. We’ve made it, with heartbreak, tears, loss, and irreversible consequences.
When I look at her, I see my future, but I also see my past. I’m tired of fighting what should have always been. She is my love and my everything, and I won’t go a day without proving it to her for all the years to come.
