“I do.” I nod, placing my hand over his. “And I love you, too.”
“These last few months have been amazing, and I’ve only fallen more in love with the woman you’ve become. I admireyour strength and resilience and the way you love the people in your life with your whole heart. The more time we spend together, the more I wonder how the fuck did I manage to survive these past three years without you, and I know with certainty that I never want that to happen again.”
“What are you…”
His finger slides to my mouth, effectively shushing me. “I can’t imagine my life without you in it. I don’t want to live a life in which you’re not a part of.”
Holy shit, he’s go—
“Rebecca Allison Williams, will you spend the rest of our lives together as my wife?”
My mouth falls open as he pulls out a ring box from his pocket and opens it. The most beautiful princess-cut ring I’ve ever seen shining under the twinkling lights.
Tears prickle my eyelids, making my vision turn blurry.
“I…” Shaking my head, I jump at him. “Yes!”
We stumble back, falling into the blankets. Miguel lets out a laugh as I land on top of him. He flips us over in one easy movement, his body hovering over mine.
“You sure?”
“Yes.”
“There will be no takebacks.”
“I don’t want any. I just want you.”
“You’re all that I need.”
He takes my hand in his, picking up the ring.
“This is our time, baby.” The ring slips into place, a perfect fit. “Our chance at a happily ever after until death do us part. No more secrets, no more running, just you and me.”
I was ready for it, so damn ready.
“I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
SAVANNAH
“Double whiskey on the rocks,” I say to the bartender as I slide into the first open barstool.
The guy gives me a curious look, but he doesn’t comment as he grabs a glass, throwing a few cubes of ice in it before placing it on the bar in front of me and pouring my drink.
The moment he starts to lift the bottle, stopping the pour, I wrap my fingers around the cool glass, toss my head back, and down the drink.
My eyes squeeze shut as the alcohol burns down my throat, making tears prickle under my eyelids.
Shit, this is strong.
But I needed strong.
More than that, I needed to feel numb tonight.
And this was the only way I knew how to do it.
Blinking my eyes open, I wave to the guy for a refill.
I was determined to get drunk tonight.
