Page 108 of Fate's Ambition
My heart ached with joy and tears cascaded down my face.I dropped to my knees in front of him, cupping his face in my hands.
“Yes,” I whispered, my voice thick with emotion.“Of course it’s a yes.”
He surged forward, capturing my lips in a kiss that put all others to shame.
As we finally parted, panting and giddy, he took my hand and slipped the ring onto my finger.It sparkled under the soft light.
I picked up the Funky Furby, laughing through my tears.“I can’t believe you remembered this.”
“How could I forget?I still have nightmares of you doing the Furby blink.”
I grinned and nestled into his embrace.I’d never believed in fate—until now.From that day in my dorm lobby, right up to this perfect moment, it felt like every step had been leading me to Emmett.
“I love you so much,” I said, pressing a soft kiss to his jaw.
He tightened his arms around me and rested his cheek on my head.“I love you too, future Mrs.Price.More than you could ever know.”
As we sat there, wrapped in each other’s arms and basking in the glow of our love, I felt like I had finally found the balance I had been searching for—the all-consuming love and support I longed for.
I was no man’s trophy, because in the end, we both won.And the reward was a life we’d build together.
