“Forever.” He said staring deeply into her eyes.
“Forever.” She smiled as he bent down and kissed her softly.
Okay, obviously they were having a private moment, Jamie thought to herself. She stepped back into her corner as the crowd began dispersing. Now that Alex had woken up some of them decided to head home.
She took the chance while everyone was distracted, saying their goodbyes, to try and catch her breath from what had just happened. She knew it wasn’t a real proposal. Alex had not just really proposed to her. But she couldn’t shake the feeling that had just washed over her when he had asked her. And she couldn’t, for the life of her, begin to understand why she had said, YES!
She appreciated the fact that Grace had bailed her out of the rather embarrassing faux-pas but she hadn’t been ‘humoring the patient’. Nope, she had really been completely swept up in his eyes and the way he was looking at her and said yes! She needed to get control over whatever was going on with her and quick. He needed her to be professional and on top of her game. Not love-sick and delusional.
Oh Lord! It was going to be a long night.
