I giggle and Bowen shoots his dad a quelling look. When his brown eyes come back to me, I get lost in the depth of love I find there. I know I’m ready for this next step. I was so scared to take a leap last year when we met, but he helped me every step of the way.
“I’m not afraid anymore, Bowen, you showed me how to live in the light,” I whisper. “Ask me.”
“Aster, my little Spark, will you marry me?”
“Yes,” I shout the word and throw up my hands before doing a little spin and then launching myself at him.
He catches me easily with one arm wrapped around my waist as he keeps a hold of the ring box. I watch, barely able to contain my excitement as he wrestles the ring out of the box with one hand, unwilling to let go of me with the other.
When he slips the ring on my finger, I grab his face in my hands, the light hitting the stone in my ring and looking like a spark.
I press my lips to his and whisper, “I love you, Bowen.”
“Again,” he mumbles right back.
I don’t say the words again, I show him. I’ll be showing him for the rest of my life. Happily.
Everyone celebrates around us, but I can’t focus on them. I’m focused on the man in front of me, the man who holds me so close, the man who chased away the darkness I allowed in when I thought my dreams had died. Now, I know that they just changed.
And they led me right to where I was supposed to be.
With him. Always with him.
