“Jared,” I whisper, a sob building in my throat.
He takes out the stunning diamond ring and reaches for my left hand. His fingers tremble, not with the tremors that come and go, but with the force of his emotion. The depth of his devotion for me, which I see shining in his eyes.
“I’m down on my knees,” he says, holding my hand in his big palm. “Please, say you’ll marry me, Melanie. Be mine forever.”
“Yes.” I nod my head once, then again and again. “Yes, Jared. Oh, my God, yes!”
He slips the ring onto my finger and a round of cheers and applause goes up from our friends and family gathered at the house.
I hardly hear any of it. I don’t hear the birds singing in the trees, or the sound of the sweet, country breeze rolling over the hills and pastures. All I hear is the strong beat of Jared’s heart drumming in perfect tempo with mine.
I look into his eyes and I see the promise of our future together.
This man, his heart, his love.
It’s everything I’ll ever need.
