“One thing I’ve learned is that life is short. In a blink of an eye, everything can change. After four years of thinking Ariana was dead, when I saw her, I knew I never wanted to be apart from her again.” I turned to her and dug in my pocket for what I needed. Thanks to Theo transferring my mother’s funds to my new bank account, I was able to make my dream into reality. Dropping to a knee, I flipped open the little blue box, the one-carat princess-cut engagement ring catching the lights on the field.
“I never want to live without you again, Ari. You’re the love of my life, and I can think of nothing more I rather do than start our next chapter together. Would you do me the honor of marrying me?”
Silence filled the stadium, and I assumed everyone was holding their breath like I was. If Ari said no, it would destroy me, but I had to take that chance.
Ari reached out and placed her cold hand against my cheek, her eyes welling with tears.
“I love you with every fiber in my being, Jagger. Yes, I’ll marry you.”
My shoulders relaxed, and I slipped the ring on her finger before I stood. Once again, the stadium erupted with cheers and applause.
I wrapped Ari in my arms and kissed her hard. “Thank you, Ari. Thank you for saving me.”
She embraced me and buried her face in my neck. “I love you. Thank you for making your way back to me.”
I promised myself that I would always protect Ari and return to her no matter what our future looked like. She was my rock. My home. I’d lived with and without her. I would move heaven and earth never to lose her again. She wasmine.
