I didn’t know everything that there was to know in the world, but one thing I was definitely certain of was his love for me and any future children of ours.
Since I’d had the miscarriage a few years back, Drew and I had realized how much we wanted kids at some point, and when I’d graduated and sold my book to the publisher, I’d gone off the pill. We hadn’t realized it would only take such a short period of time to get me pregnant…it must have only been three or four weeks. I couldn’t wait to be a mom to his baby, and I knew Drew couldn’t wait to be a dad.
“You know, now that you’re pregnant, it’s lucky that I have this.”
“Huh?”
I looked over as Drew foraged in his camera bag, and I gasped as he pulled out a massive diamond ring. Tears of joy sprung to my eyes as I immediately realized what it was, and he rearranged himself so that he was crouching down on one knee.
“Sophie Anne Ramirez…” he began. The tears were running down my face in earnest now, and I didn’t even let him finish before nodding.
“Yes! Yes!” I said.
“Let me finish,” he said, before taking a deep breath. “We used to be friends as kids, and I loved you then. Then we got together again, an event which was brought about by a stupid dare from your friends for you to talk to me, and I fell in love with you all over again.”
I laughed at the reminder of how we’d first come into contact with each other again after years apart, and he slid the ring onto my left hand ring finger before continuing with a smile and a wink.
“Marry me, Sophie. Go on, I dare you.”
