I hear a sob come from Evie, causing me to look up at her again.
She comes down to her knees, facing me. Tears are soaking her cheeks. “God, I love you, Adam Gunner.”
“And I love you, Evie Taylor. I’ve loved you since I was eighteen years old, I will love you till the day I die, and I’ll keep on loving you after that.”
Sliding my hands around her neck, I undo the clasp on her necklace and hold her wedding ring between my thumb and finger. “I think it’s time for me to put this back on your finger. What do you say?”
She reaches out and removes my own chain from around my neck, holding my wedding ring in the palm of her hand. She looks at me, smiles and says, “I say, yes.”
I’m half-asleep while writing this. This is what I get for doing it at the deadline, so I’m going to keep this really brief and just say a big thank you to all the usual suspects—my husband, Craig, and my children, Riley and Isabella.
Trishy, Sali, Christine, Jovana, and Naj—You are all amazing in your own unique, beautiful ways. I heart you all to the moon and back.
Of course, thank you to my agent, Lauren, who continues to put up with me constantly changing my mind without a word of complaint.
Also, a huge thank you goes to all the bloggers who tirelessly help to promote and get the word out about my books.
And lastly, my readers—Thank you for continuing on this amazing journey with me.
See? I told you it would be brief. ;)
Until next time…
