I nodded and swallowed over the dry lump in my throat.
The look on his face grew more serious now. “And I vow to keep you safe.” His voice was raw and rough. “I promise, sweetness. I’ll do everything to make sure of that.”
My knees started to wobble. I felt the power behind his words, and it made me weak.
But it also made me strong.
“Cash, honey,” I gripped his hands harder, “I know you will.”
It was his turn to nod.

He whistled and let go of my hands.
I frowned again because I thought it was quite possible my boyfriend/almost fiancé might just have gone over the deep end. When I heard the sound of bells tinkling in the distance, I turned my head.

There was a small silence, and he asked, “Is that a yes?”
I giggled and nodded my head. “Of course, it’s a yes. Yes, I’ll marry you. Yes, I’ll wake up every morning beside you. Yes, yes, yes—”
