“Please do me the honor of not being my wife.”
Say no.
Please not be his wife.
NO!
I burst out laughing, which sends another shockwave through the audience.
He knows how much I wish I had said no to my first proposal. How much I love saying no in general now. He’s giving me the opposite of what I got (and hated) from Jarvis. He’s giving me the first proposal ever where the person gets to say no to say yes.
Of course he would flip the most clichéd script of human behavior on its head.
“Not a chance!” I cry, throwing my arms around him. “I will not not be your wife.”
He squeezes so tight, I start giggling again.
“Whew. Thank god,” he says just for me.
“You’re a dork, you know that? You gave me a heart attack for a second.”
“Sorry. It worked better in my head. So that’s a no?”
“It’s a hell no.”
We exchange a grin, and I melt into his soft kiss.
“I will always choose you,” I whisper against his lips.
“I will always choose you too,” he whispers back.
He tilts my head up for another kiss, and the audience finally bursts into applause and cheers.
“We really should explain what just happened,” I say as I pull away to slip on the stunning engagement ring. I will never be taking this off. “Everyone is so confused.”
Val threads our fingers and squeezes my palm. “Nah, it’s all part of the code. They can read Chad’s report tomorrow.”
