Page 220 of One More Kiss

I let the tears roll and smiled as I answered him. “I’m saying yes. Yes, I’ll marry you!”

He leaned down and kissed me hard. “So, Vegas?”

Laughing against his lips, I asked, “Vegas? What? When?”

“Now. This weekend. I can fly us out and we can have a moving truck back here when we get back.”

“Are you serious? This weekend?”

He pulled me close, his beard chaffing my chin. “Why wait? Even if you want a bigger wedding later, we can do that. But let’s make it official, now.” He rubbed his nose over mine before pecking my lips.

“What about my mom? I don’t care about a big wedding, but my mom has to see.”

“As long as she’ll fly, she will come with us.”

I stood for a moment and let it wash over me…I was about to marry a lumberjack then move to the woods to be a writer. “Pinch me.”

He kissed me, but gently bit at my lip. “I’d rather bite you, but what was that for?”

“To make sure this isn’t all a dream.”

“It’s a dream alright. My dream come true. Now, let’s get packing. Call your mom.”
