Ha. Yes. Proposal. That’s what I meant.
Jules looks at me through the glass and smiles, rubbing her palms over her baby bump. The charm bracelet on her wrist shines in the light, and I already know what charm I’ll be getting her for our one year anniversary.
A candy cane. For my naughty wife.
As Franco continues to stare at Lana and ask vague questions, I marvel at how quickly things have changed for me.
I fulfilled Julie’s dreams our first real night together. But I never realized that she fulfilled mine long before then.
“Excuse me,” I say, interrupting Franco. “Let’s continue this later.”
He exhales harshly, clearly unhappy, and throws his hands up. I ignore him as I walk through my office door and greet my wife. “Hey, beautiful.” Getting down on my knees, I kiss the backs of her hands and our unborn child. “I missed you.”
“I’ve been here the whole time,” she giggles. “Honest.”
“I know. I still missed you.” Not a minute goes by that I don’t think of her, crave, her, love her. “You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me, you know that?”
Her smile grows and she takes my hand in hers. “Yeah, I actually get you to take breaks from working so much. I’d call that good for you.”
“We’re about to take a long break together,” I remind her. “I’m not letting you stay at home alone without me.”
“I know.” Jules rubs my knuckles with her palm. “You always want to keep me safe.”
“I won’t let anyone touch you but me.”
“I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
