“Will you marry us?” they ask in unison.
I hop up, slamming into Ramsey, since he’s so close. I bolt for the bedroom to grab my camera, and by the time I get back, I’m close to hyperventilating. The three of them stand with shocked looks on their faces.
“Yes, of course, I’ll marry you! But no one thought to take pictures of our first Christmas or your proposal.” I head over. “I’m sorry. Pictures aren’t nearly as important as the moment itself.”
“So, that was a yes?” Ramsey pulls me to him.
“Yes!” I squeal as he kisses the hell out of me. Someone grabs my camera, and its shuttering sound fills the air.
Fitz’s scent floods my nose as he grabs my hand, spinning me to face him. “I love you, Tinsel.” He brushes his nose against mine and kisses me softly with lots of tongue.
Hands land on my hips as we pull back, and I’m turned toward Warrick. I guess he and Ramsey switched off taking pictures. He lifts me, pushing his mouth to mine in one fluid movement.
“You’re all ours, baby girl.”
“Yep,” I agree.
“Would you like to see the ring?” Ramsey asks.
“Can I reopen the box and pretend to be surprised?” I ask.
“Yeah, we can do that,” Warrick says indulgently.
And that’s what we do. It’s a round two-carat solitaire in white gold, and it’s exactly what I would have chosen for myself.

We spend most of the next few hours making calls to our families.
It’s clear my family pack knew it was coming, and they’re more than excited about it.
After we disconnect, Fitz calls his sister.
“Did she say no?” Shanna answers the video call.
I snatch the phone.
“She did not.” I hold the ring up to the camera.
We both squeal, and eventually, Fitz kisses me on the cheek and gives up trying to talk over us. He heads out, and I stretch out on the end of the bed.
“I’mso so sohappy for you,” she says.
“Thank you.” I bite my lip. “No luck on matching yet?”
Her eyes dart away before she replies.
My head tilts. That’s usually a tell she’s about to lie.
“Maybe one day,” she says awkwardly.
Hmm, I could probably push her for information, but that might be a conversation better handled in person.
We talk for a while longer, but she hands off the phone to her parents as Fitz comes back in.
It’s an entire process, as we do a version of the call again with Ramsey and Warrick’s family pack.
Not one of them brings up Harvey and his horrible interview.
