“We don't have to do anything different,” I murmur. “I don't want to.” I lean down to kiss his temple and he locks his arms around me. His forehead presses against my throat, and I kiss his cheek.
“How long have you been thinking of this?” I ask.
His eyes flick up to mine, and slowly, a grin spreads across his face. “You really want to know?”
“Um...yes.”
“I designed the ring when you would take naps at the hospital. It shipped to Dr. Libby and I got it from her weeks ago.” He arches one eyebrow. “I would have dropped it on you earlier, but I was worried you weren't ready.”
“I'm ready! Hunter, let me see it!”
With one arm locked around me, he opens the box, revealing a beautiful, oval ruby ringed by diamonds.
His green eyes hold mine as he fumbles with the box and slides the ring on my finger. I giggle and wave my hand around, buoyant enough to float through the roof and into the sky. “Thank you.” I throw myself into his lap and straddle him, and Hunter's face burrows into my shoulder.
We sit there wrapped up in each other as the plane soars through the clouds, swooping lower as we near Napa—our home.
After a few minutes of blissful silence and lots of little kisses, Hunter looks down at me, smiling a little slyly. “I kind of already made some preparations.”
“That confident, were we?” I smirk, and he grins. I poke his ribs. “C'mon now. Out with it!”
“I had our room re-done...and I got you a new car. I hope you're not upset.”
“Upset?”
“I know how loyal you are to your Camry. This can just be a weekend car if you want.”
“What kind of car is it?”
“A Porsche.” His eyes are dancing as he thumbs my cheek. “One time I fell in love with a woman in a Porsche.”
“I don't think that happened until a good bit later.”
He smiles, looking lazy and comfortable and handsome. My fiancé. He looks into my eyes. “I don't know when it happened, but I'm damn sure glad it did.”
“Me too.” I snuggle up against his hard, warm body as we soar through midnight clouds. “Me, too.”
