He approached her, the ring in his pocket, the list in his hand, and said, "I was wondering if you could help me." She turned, shock in her eyes, then she backed up and looked away.
Damn. Not a good beginning. He swallowed the knot in his throat. "Item one. Ask forgiveness."
"I forgive you." Her voice was stilted, unsure.
"Item two. Tell the woman of my dreams that I love her." Dane looked at her. "I love you, Marissa."
Her mouth dropped open. She blinked.
"Item three. Ask the woman I love to marry me." He cleared his throat. "Will you marry me?" He fumbled for the ring box in his jacket. It flipped out of the pocket and onto the pavement. "Oh, hell." He reached for it at the same time she did and they bonked heads.
She laughed as they rose and the constriction in his chest loosened.
"Item four?" she asked, holding the black velvet box.
"It's starred." He pointed to the list, she read it, and smiled. "A forever-night stand?"
"Yes." He took the box and opened it. "What do you say, sweetheart? Will you help me with my list?"
She gasped. A gold cat and a gold dog met in the middle of the ring, each with paws on the sides of a two-carat pear-shaped diamond. "Dane..."
He waited, never more uncertain, more afraid, more in love than he'd ever been in his life.
"Yes," she whispered, slipping on the ring. "I'll forgive you, love you, and marry you." She leaned against his ear. "And on our wedding night, I'm going to..."
Dane grinned.
