“Is this really happening?” Grace asked, clasping one hand to her mouth. Almost instinctively, she got to her feet. The other diners were turning to look at them, but Grace barely noticed. Her gaze was fixed on the man she loved kneeling before her.
“It is.” Alex looked up at her with those big blue eyes, the ones she’d fallen in love with more and more each day for almost two years. Slowly, he opened the box in his hand to reveal a glittering diamond on a silver band. “Grace Juliana Boden, will you marry me?”
“Yes!” Grace couldn’t get her answer out fast enough. “Yes, of course I will!” She held out her hand, and Alex slid the ring onto her finger. It fit perfectly. Then he kissed the back of her hand, his lips warm and tender.
Grace took his hands and pulled him to his feet. Then she was in his arms, and they were kissing. Nothing had ever felt so right as this—kissing her fiancé. The father of her children. The love of her life.
Grace and Alex might have kissed forever if the other diners hadn’t started whooping and clapping, breaking the spell. They pulled apart, both smiling like fools, and Grace took the chance to look at the ring. It was truly gorgeous, exactly what she would have picked out for herself.
“Now we just have to plan the wedding,” Grace said as they smiled at the other diners.
“It’ll be easy.”
Grace scoffed. “Wedding planning is never easy.”
“Compared to running a company or thwarting a nefarious plot by a rival?” Alex grinned at her. “Then it’s easy.”
“Maybe you’re right,” Grace admitted. “We overcame a lot to get this life. We won’t let a little thing like picking out cakes or invitations stop us.”
“No, we won’t.” Alex leaned over to kiss her cheek. “Now, let’s go home. I miss the kids.”
“Oh, me too,” Grace agreed. “Do you think they miss us?”
“They’re definitely sleeping,” Alex replied. Then he saw the look on Grace’s face and added, “But they’ll be happy we’re back, for sure.”
“Good.” Grace took Alex’s hand. “Come, my fiancé. Let’s go. We have a future to plan.”
“That we do.” Alex led her out of the restaurant. “And I, for one, can’t wait.”
Grace couldn’t wait either. It had been a long road to get here, but now, she was going to marry the man she loved. And they already had two beautiful children together. She wouldn’t change a thing about her life—or about her future.
The End
