  “One thing you can definitely say about Nolans, they’re vigorous huggers,” I said with a grin. “And the proposal was magical. Thank you again for doing all of that.”

  “Well, I knew I had to go big, since I was proposing to the guy who actually made it snow indoors at his best friend’s wedding.”

  I smiled at that. “I didn’t think you even noticed the snow.”

  “I didn’t. Someone told me about it later. At the time, I only had one thing on my mind, and that was kissing you.”

  I rubbed my cheek against the top of his head and teased, “Followed immediately by an indecent proposal.”

  “That was lame of me, I’m sorry. I should have asked you out on a proper date. I guess I was so eager to get to dessert that I skipped the main course.”

  “Well, that and you didn’t want to be in a relationship.”

  “I was dead wrong.”

  “You know,” I said, “You’re marrying the first guy you ever slept with. Aren’t you going to feel, somewhere down the road, like you missed out? You never got to date different guys, or experience the whole San Francisco gay singles scene, or any of that.”

  “I hit the jackpot with my very first lottery ticket. Why on Earth would I wish I had bought a ton of other losing tickets first?”

  I chuckled at that. “Good analogy.”

  “Thank you.”

  “But really, though.”

  Kieran propped himself up on his elbow and brushed the hair back from my eyes. “I missed nothing, and I know that for a fact because I have absolutely everything, right here. You astonish me, and fulfill me, and care for me, and make me feel so incredibly loved, and I’ll spend every day of the rest of my life trying to make you as happy as you make me.”

  “You really love me,” I said with a smile, a warm feeling of contentment settling inside me.

  Kieran leaned down and kissed me before saying softly, “Now and forever, Christopher.”
