“I already am yours.”

“Officially, then.”

“Yes.”

“Yes?”

“Of course!”

“I’m kind of regretting tying the ring to Camilla’s bow right now. I guess I didn’t think this all the way through.”

She drops to her knees in front of me, cradling my face in her hands, the same as I’ve done for her often. “This is perfect. The man and my girl, Camilla. I couldn’t ask for anything more.”

I kiss her with the forever kind of kiss that changes our lives then I remove the ring from the ribbon around Camilla’s neck. Ellie doesn’t even look at it when I slide it on her finger.

“Perfect fit,” she says.

“If you don’t like it…”

“It’s perfect,” she says, glancing down at the intricate antique rose gold ring then gasps again.

“It was Polly’s,” I tell her. “I had a new diamond put in and the gold cleaned up and sized but she wanted you to have it.”

“I couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect.”
