“Then could you get me another lemonade?” she asked.
He frowned. “No. I can’t.”
Breely tilted her head. “What the heck is wrong with you?”
He glanced at the sky again, a smile spreading across his face. “Come with me, and I’ll tell you what’s wrong with me.” He took her hand and led her down the porch steps and out onto the lawn. “Look up, Breely.”
“Huh? I thought you were going to tell me what was wrong with you.”
He nudged her chin with a finger and pointed to the sky. “Look up, my love.”
Breely glanced up in time to see a plane fly over dragging a long banner behind it.
She squinted and shaded her eyes against the sun. “Breely… Hey, it has my name on it.” She looked again. “I can’t quite read it. What does it say?”
“Oh, good grief,” Kyla said from the porch. “It says, Breely, Will You Marry Me? Moe, get down on your knee, for God’s sake.” Kyla’s face paled, and she leaned over the porch rail and vomited.
Sadie rushed to the woman, slipped her arm around her and led her to the door. “Don’t stop on our account. We’ll be back.” She disappeared inside with Kyla. Stone started to follow.
Hank gripped his arm. “Let Sadie handle it. Your teammate is in the middle of a proposal.”
“He is?” Breely turned back to Moe.
He wasn’t standing in front of her but was on one knee, looking up at her.
“You are?” Breely squeaked.
“I am,” he said with a smile. “Breely Brantt, I love you so much I can’t breathe without you. Would you do me the great honor of becoming my wife, so I can love you for the rest of my life?”
Tears filled Breely’s eyes. She dropped to her knees in front of him. “Yes! Oh, yes! I would be the happiest woman that ever lived to be your wife.” She flung her arms around his neck and kissed him.
Thunderous applause sounded all around them with cheering and shouts of congratulations.
Moe stood and swung Breely up into his arms. “You all heard it. She said yes. We’re getting married!”
For the next ten minutes, Breely was hugged by every person there.
John and Stone pulled the steaks off the grill and carried them to the tables. As everyone found a seat, Sadie came out of the lodge with Kyla, sporting a huge grin on her face. Kyla’s expression was more one of shell shock.
“Did she say yes?” Sadie asked.
Moe answered, “Yes.”
“Oh, good. Congratulations, you two.” She turned to Kyla and pulled her up to stand beside her. “We have more good news.” She paused. “Where’s Stone?”
Stone hurried over to stand with Kyla. “What’s the good news?”
Sadie turned to Kyla. “You tell him.”
Kyla looked up into Stone’s face. “This is one mission I’m not at all prepared for.” She raised her hand. In it was a wand. “Honey, we’re pregnant.”
Stone’s face blanched white. “What? Are you kidding? How?”
Kyla laughed. “Pregnant. No kidding. And you know how.” She stared up at him. “Are you okay with this?”
Stone cupped her cheeks between his palms. “Okay? I’m more than okay. I love you, Kyla. I can’t wait to start this new adventure with a family.”
More congratulations went around before everyone settled at the tables.
