I loved that he remembered the silly conversation we’d had back when Ellie and Drew got engaged when I warned him that women want romance for a proposal. What I’d learned since dating Jason was that romance didn’t have to mean hearts and flowers. It could be something as simple as him bringing me a chocolate bar when I felt down.

The little things? They meant so much more than huge gestures. The little things were everything.

I shook my head, still smiling. “No. But I do want something a little less spontaneous.”

“You like spontaneity.”

When he winked at me, I started to laugh too. I could hardly deny that. Some of the best fun we’d had involved being spontaneous and living in the moment.

His question, and our whole relationship, was proof of how much Jason had changed, and that was as much of a surprise to him as it was to everyone else who knew him. Me? I never doubted that once he found the right person, he’d calm down and be the guy I always knew he was. I just never expected to be that person.

“I love you, Jase.”

“I love you too, Lucy.” He leaned in closer, his mouth beside my ear as he whispered, “And one day, youwillbe my wife.”

His words and warm breath on my neck made me shiver, my heart swelling with joy. “You’d best get working on that proposal then.”

He laughed softly. “How does Paris sound?”

Paris.The place we’d made our first significant connection and the one place on last year’s tour we only had good memories of. The place that wasn’t tainted by fights or cravings or accidents or paparazzi.

The place where we’d had our first ‘first.’

I placed a soft kiss on his lips. “Paris sounds perfect.”
