“Because I’m marrying my dream girl,” he says. “A woman who is way too good for me but said yes anyway. So I’m going to gowayoverboard on the ring, the wedding, the honeymoon…all of it.”

I grin. “I don’t need a big, gaudy, crazy ring.”

“Too late,” he says, and pulls something out of his pocket.

A big,gorgeous, crazy ring. That he’s obviously been carrying around.

He slips it onto my finger, then lifts it to his lips and kisses it. “I’m going over the top for this. For us. Deal with it.”

And dammit, what am I supposed to do? We’ve all heard of Prince Charming, but no one prepared me for Prince Charming’s hot, bossy bodyguard with a heart of gold.

There’s no resisting that.

So I just say, “Fifty-thousand or an amount equal to what we spend on the wedding, whichever is greater.”

He leans in and growls. “I expect you to make it worth every penny.”

I grin and say, “Ditto.”

And I have no doubt everything will surpass my wildest dreams.
