“Yes, I will,” I growl as I pull the lever back and blow out a breath. The sound of sirens fill the air and Nico starts backing up towards the trees as she looks wildly between Juliette and I. I glance over and notice the phone hidden behind Juliette’s back at the same time Nico does and she surges forward, the gun stretches out in front of her as she shakes with rage and I don’t give her a chance to fire, pulling the trigger.
The bullet tears through her shoulder and she screams as she collapses into the dirt, clutching the wound. Police cruisers tear into the lot but I don’t take my eyes off of her or the gun until two policemen rush over and order her to drop it. It falls to the dirt and Juliette launches herself at me as they drag her up off the ground and lock her in handcuffs. Holding her with one arm, I slip the gun back into my waistband and bury my nose in her hair.
“I swear, I’m never letting you out of my sight again,” I whisper and she nods, clinging to me as her tears seep into my t-shirt. Fuck, I don’t know what I would have done if I had lost her. She pulls back and meet my eyes.
“Where’s the ring?”
Grinning, I set her on the ground and pull the ring out of my pocket before slipping it on her fingers. Once it’s on, she launches herself at me again and presses her lips to mine.
“Is the enough of an answer?” she asks in between frantic kisses. “Or does it need to be official.”
I shake my head and kiss her again. “Naw, angel. I think I got the message.”
Hey!
