“You know what I’m going to ask you,” Albert said in a gentle tone.
I smiled. “Yes.”
He flipped the box open to reveal a silver ring. There were tiny diamonds embedded in it in the shape of a flower. He took the little diamond rose from the box and slipped it on my finger. I watched it with fascination.
“Ms. Emerson,” he whispered. “Will you marry me?”
I traced my finger across his jaw and pressed kisses upon his cheeks. His hands found the pin in my hair and pulled it down. Black curls fell down around my face. He took one strand of hair within his hands and placed a simple kiss upon it. Our eyes locked in a moment of understanding that would last forever.
“Yes,” I whispered.
A smile spread across his lips. We just sat there for a few seconds as we were surrounded by our future. His lips brushed mine as he pulled me to his lap. I laced my fingers in his hair as his hands traveled to my thighs. I don’t know how long the kiss lasted—it seemed like years. We just sat there watching the waves. For a very long time, I peacefully enjoyed the feel of his hands against my skin. I was going to marry him. Yes, I’d been completely sure of it for a while. But having the ring on my finger signified the change that was occurring. We were finally going to be linked together in every single way I could possibly imagine. I was going to be married to the most amazing, protective, and beautiful man I’d ever met. He was going to be mine for a very long time. Albert and I were a forever love, and I was absolutely thrilled about it.
