“See, I knew it!” Jim said, his eyes shining with pride.
Mari was just jumping up and down like a kid gripping the acceptance letter, silently screaming and shouting with joy.
“They think you’re awesome, too. How could they not? You, my love, are a dream come true.”
“I’m so happy. This is so awesome! I can’t wait to start.”
“You’ll be matriculating as Maribel Craig, won’t you?”
“You’re asking me if I’m keeping my last name?”
“Well, we’re having that summer wedding, but you’re this independent woman, so…”
“By the way, it’s so weird leaving everything in the hands of a wedding planner, especially since it’s so small.”
“Any word from your sister on whether or not she’ll make it?”
Mari’s shoulders sagged and Jim regretted bringing it up.
“Not yet, but it’s fine if she can’t. It’s not like it would be a surprise. My mom and dad will be there, Annie will be there, and you will be there. That’s all that matters to me. I love you, Jim Craig.”
“I love you more, Maribel Gibson.”
She poked him.
“Craig,” he corrected himself, swelling with joy. “See, that’s all I wanted to know.”
They locked lips, and Jim felt so light and happy, he almost thought his feet might actually lift from the ground.

About the Author
Mia Caldwell has been fantasizing about stories of “Happily-Ever-After” since she was a little girl, and now that she’s all grown up her “Happily-Ever-After” stories have taken a steamier turn!
After graduating from college, Mia still wasn’t quite sure what she wanted to do with her life. Bored with her day job as an Administrative Assistant for a non-profit, she started writing stories on the side and sharing them with her friends. They gave her the push she needed to share them with you!
She lives in New York with two rascally cats named Link and Zelda, eats too much chocolate and Chinese take-out, and goes on way too many blind dates.
She’s still waiting for Mr. Right, but in the meantime she’ll keep dreaming up the perfect man!
