thing that stuck out at me.”

“What?” I ask breathlessly.

He lifts my hands to his lips and kisses each one. “I knew I had to do it here.” Without another word, he slowly drops down on one knee.

My heart thunders in my chest and I gasp. “Oh, my God.”

Hudson laughs and lets my hands go so he can pull out a small, black box from his pocket. “Hopefully, that’s a good gasp.” I nod quickly and his smile broadens as he holds up the ring. “I love you, Allie. I knew months ago that you were the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.” He lifts the ring out of the box and slowly reaches for my hand, his gray eyes boring into mine. “Allison Wood, would you please make me the happiest man on the earth and …”

My body moves of its own accord and I don’t give him the chance to finish. “Yes,” I answer, flinging my arms around his neck. One minute, I’m standing on my feet and the next, I’m falling on top of him in the sand. Hudson bursts out laughing and turns me over so he’s leaning over me. There’s sand everywhere in my hair and up my dress but I don’t care.

“You didn’t give me a chance to finish?” he teases, dusting sand off my shoulders.

Tears streaming down my cheeks, I cup his face in my hands. I can’t begin to describe how happy I am. “I’m sorry. I got a little carried away. You can ask me again. I don’t mind.” In all honesty, I want to hear him say the words again.

Taking my left hand off his face, he slides the ring down my finger. “Will you marry me, Allie? If you say yes again, I promise I’ll do everything in my power to make you happy. I can’t promise I won’t piss you off, but I can promise that I’ll love you forever.”

He wipes away my tears and kisses me.

“Yes,” I breathe, leaning into his hand. “I would love to be your wife. I would’ve said yes months ago.”

“Then it’s settled. You’re mine forever now.”

“And don’t you forget it,” I reply, kissing him again.

He shakes his head. “Never.”

THE END

You’ve had A Date for Midnight, you’ve met your admirer, had some Good Luck, and you’ve been on the Hunt. Now it’s time to get dirty at the Derby!
