“I’m not begging,” he says, and I feel a mild disappointment until he adds, “I’m groveling on my knees, asking you to marry me because I need you so damn much that I can’t wait to have you as my wife and to love you till the day I die.”
I jump up and down, clapping my hands, and squeal, “Yes!”
Rob rises to his feet, and I don’t give him a chance to do anything as my hands wrap around his face and I kiss him so long and passionately that the kids start to call from up above.
“Get a room!” Jesse shouts.
“My eyes are way too young to be seeing this!”
Our smiles are pressed against each other. Rob’s hands are on my face, rubbing my tears with his thumbs and pulling me in for another kiss.
He slides the ring onto my finger, and it fits perfectly.
“Three stones,” he explains. “One for each of the kids. Because you’re not just saying yes to me. You’re saying yes to us.”
“Yes,” I say to him again and then shout up to the kids, “Yes, and yes! Now, come on down here and give your stepmother a hug!”
The kids start their way down, and I take one more look at my soon-to-be husband.
“I wished for you. And now, I have you.”
Rob grins. “I wished for you too. And I thank the moon every night that you’re mine.”
