“Sarah, you came into my life and reminded me what it was like to live again. I love you more than words can say. Will you marry me? Will you share my life with me? Will you walk side by side with me on these paths for the rest of our days?”
Tears blurred my vision. “Yes, yes.”
His forehead wrinkled. “I know it’s soon.”
I shook my head. “It’s not too soon. It’s exactly right.”
Then I tugged him up and kissed him. My hands tightened around his neck, and I tried to get closer to him.
He finally pulled back and rested his forehead on mine. “Do you want to see the ring?”
I nodded, unable to talk over the emotion in my throat.
He opened a velvet box, and the diamond was a sparkling princess cut. “It reminded me of a snowflake, sparkling and unique.”
“I love it,” I said as he slid the ring onto my finger. “Ireland and Emmett got engaged this morning.”
“And they got a puppy, too. But our journey is unique.”
I smiled up at him, so happy. “I think so, too.”
“Whatever you want to do, whether it’s move in or get married, we’ll do it when you and Addy are ready.”
“Thank you for always taking our needs into consideration.”
“I wouldn’t be a good fiancé if I didn’t.”
“Fiancé. I like the sound of that.”
“Don’t get too used to it. Soon it will be husband.”
I smiled wide. “I like that even better.”
I had everything I’d ever wanted. A man to love me and my daughter, a large family around us, and this amazing farm.
His thumb brushed my cheek. “I felt like I was living in the dark for so long. I never anticipated that I’d find the light with you. It was like seeing the sunshine after years of rain.”
My heart contracted in my chest. “I love that.”
“I love you,” he said as he kissed me, and our lives spread out before us like the rows of trees on the farm. It may not be a straight path, but we’d always be side by side while we made our way. We’d have each other and even our families to support us.
“You and Addy are my sunshine.”
I loved that we could be that for him. “You’re the same for us.”
He closed his eyes, as if he were overwhelmed by the emotion. There was nowhere else I’d want to be, except here with Knox and my family.
We walked for a bit before Knox’s phone buzzed, and he looked at the screen. “Heath wants to show us a new light display that he and Talon set up. It’s past Heath’s house.”
“Can we see them?” I asked, not ready for the evening to be over.
“We can do whatever you want. We’re close enough that we can walk to it, but Heath said he’d bring Addy, Mom, and a few others by golf cart. If Addy gets tired, we can go back.”
I loved that he was always thinking of her.
We walked for a few more minutes until lights shone up ahead, and the golf cart pulled up next to us. Addy got out and ran up to us to give us hugs.
“Did she say yes?” Addy asked Knox.
