December Love Page 6

by Mildred Colvin


  She thought they were only friends? Not after the kiss they’d shared. A long time widower, he still knew the difference between sisterly concern, and a soul-deep need that matched the longing of his heart.

  “I love you, Florence.” He cut her off. “We don’t need to rehash anything. As far as I’m concerned the past is the past. All I want is for you to be my wife and live with me on the ranch.”

  Her mouth gaped but no words came out. He’d done it again. She was upset, and he had no idea why. Maybe he should have consulted one of the boys about understanding a woman. It’d been so long since the last time he asked one to marry him.

  Before he could apologize she dropped her purse and wrapped her arms around his neck.

  “Yes.” Her sparkling eyes met his.

  “You’ll marry me?”

  “Yes.” She nodded her head. “I love you, Will.”

  He hugged her close before pressing his lips to hers. After a moment they broke apart. She gathered her things while he made his way to the door. He held it open for her and said with a smile, “You know if you’d told me sooner how you felt we could have saved a lot of time.”

  “William,” she warned with one brow raised until he gave her a wink and a smile to show he was teasing.

  He tilted his head back and laughed while leading her away from the courthouse. They had a lifetime of laughter and kisses ahead of them. He placed her hand in the crook of his arm and thanked the good Lord for the wives he’d sent him and his sons.
