A sob slips from me as I nod my head and cry, “I love you so much. Of course I’ll marry you.”

His face breaks into a wide grin as he pulls the ring from the box and slips it onto my finger before gripping my face with both hands and crashing his mouth to mine in a kiss that I feel all the way down to my toes.

He pulls away all too quickly and I stare down at the ring in complete awe, shaking my head in disbelief.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think this would happen to me. I never thought I would be lucky enough to know a love so pure, so fulfilling.

I look back at my new fiancé, finding him watching me with nothing but unconditional love and I know without a doubt, this man is it for me.

And I know somewhere, my parents and Rueben are looking down on us, proud of our far we have come. Proud of the people we are today.

“I love you, Gray.”

“I love you, too, Blue.”
