Excerpt:
“I
could never be cold when I’m near you, Abigail.” David wanted to kiss her right
then. He wanted to take her in his arms and not let her go. To carry her off
into the night and never have to worry about anyone coming between them again.
“You are my fire. You are my reason for livin’. You are my life.”
“Oh,
David.” She blushed and looked down. “I love you, too.”
“It
is more than love.” He knelt down and looked up into her surprised face. He
reached into his pocket and pulled out the box. Enveloping her left hand in
his, he said, “Abigail Evelyn Lattimore, will you marry me?”
“Oh,
my God, David!” Her hands flew to her mouth, eyes wide. She stared down at him,
tears forming in her eyes. She glanced at the ring and exclaimed, “Yes! Yes, of
course, I will!”
And
then she was in his arms. He spun her around in elation, only stopping to kiss
her. Her hands went to his face as he held her against him, and he kissed her
harder than he ever had in his life. Pure joy surrounded them, and he could
feel the aquamarine in the necklace she wore warming against his chest. He
pulled away only to slip the diamond ring on her finger. She admired it as it
also started to glow.
“Your
magic approves,” he said, kissing her again. She was a white mage and had
fantastical healing powers. He could feel her happiness vibrating between them
and even lighting the coral in his own boar’s head ring his father had given
him when he joined the service. He sighed and added, “Even if your father
doesn’t.”
