The entire staff was in a frenzy trying to ready the house and the grounds for guests. Ellie’s father was coming to visit for a while, to say goodbye. On the phone, he had expressed how proud he was of her for making the choice to move to England, but she could tell it had cost him something to do it. It broke her heart to be so far away from him, but she knew deep down that was the right thing to do.
Standing in the sitting room watching the maid bring in the service to prepare for tea, Ellie nervously straightened her sweater. She smiled warmly as two muscular arms wrapped around her waist from behind.
“You worry too much,” Matt told her, pressing his lips to her cheek. “Everything is going to be fine.”
She laughed. “I’m not sure you understand. This room alone is bigger than my last apartment. I can’t even imagine my dad sitting here in all of this grandeur.” Biting her lip, she chose to voice the words that had been plaguing her all morning. “What if he doesn’t like it? What if he says it’s too much?”
“He’s going to love it,” Matt assured her, giving her a little squeeze. Closing her eyes, she let herself lean back against him. “It belongs to you, so how could he not?”
She nuzzled against him, feeling utterly content. “You’re too sweet.”
She could feel his smile against her cheek. “Besides, if you tell him it’s the perfect place for a wedding, he’s bound to approve.”
“The perfect place for a…what?” Pulling away, she swiveled around to stare at him.
Matt grinned wider. “You heard me.”
Eyes wide, she gaped at him, joy filling her heart. Slipping his hand into his pocket, Matt pulled out a ring and slipped it onto her finger. The diamond gleamed on its band. Ellie gasped. “You want to get married?”
He kissed her soft and long, and she felt every ounce of love she had ever wished for in his touch. Matt lightly brushed his lips over the tip of her nose and smiled. “For as long as you’ll have me.”
