"Hey, here." My Dad pulled the chair out. "Try putting your feet up, it's more comfortable that way. No, take your shoes off first. There," he said once I was reclining. "Isn't that nice?"
I breathed out again, expecting it to feel weird but I didn't. It felt, right. It felt like what I'd been aiming for all along in my own circuitous way. "It is."
My father patted my shoulders. "Sit here a while and think it over," he said, leaning down to kiss the top of my head. "I know you don't like feeling like your Daddy is handing you things, but I'm not handing. I'm asking." He tugged my hair fondly and grinned. "I hope you'll say yes."
He padded, barefoot of course, over to the side door and closed it softly behind him, leaving me alone with the view of my future. It was here for the taking. I just had to be ready for it.
I was fucking ready.
My name had gotten me here, but so had my hard work. He hadn't asked Adelaide. He'd asked me.
"You look comfy, lass," said a familiar, and much-loved voice.
I looked up to see Ewan closing the main door behind him. "How'd you get up here?" I teased. "They usually stop the riffraff at the front entrance."
"What can I say?" he mused, striding over to kiss me. "I know the right people."
I stretched back in my chair, reaching for him. His mouth molded perfectly to mine, a long, languid kiss like we had all the time in the world. These past whirlwind weeks hadn't changed that. The band was prepping to head into the studio and we both knew we wouldn't see each other much once they were there. So it was important to savor it now.
When he finally pulled back, I licked my lips, relishing the taste of him. "What brings you here?"
"Well?" He looked around, looking suddenly nervous. "I'd thought I'd be finding your Dad here, but it looks like I found you here instead."
"Lucky you," I teased.
"Oh, aye," he said, shifting from one foot to the other. I put my feet back down on the floor and swiveled the chair around to look at him head on. "You look right behind here," he noted.
I grinned and tapped the vast surface of the desk. "I'm thinking of getting a nameplate made up. Celia Silver, CEO. That sounds good, doesn't it?"
He cocked his head to the side. "What about Celia Boyd? That has a nice ring to it."
I sat up straighter and he grinned. "Aye," he said with a nod. "And speaking of nice rings...." He dropped to one knee.
I clapped my hands over my mouth as he opened the blue velvet box. "Celia Silver," he asked in that perfect, lilting brogue. "Will you marry me?"
I bit my lip as I reached for the ring. I was sitting here at the desk, poised at the beginning of my future, and there was no way in hell that future wasn't going to have Ewan in it. I took a deep breath and nodded as he slid it onto my finger. It fit perfectly, sparkling in the sun that poured in through the windows of my corner office.
"You haven't answered me yet, love," Ewan prompted. "What do you say, C?"
"What do I say?" I grabbed his hand and kissed the calloused tip of my rocker's fingers. "Yes, I'll marry you! Yes!" I grinned at him. "Or should I say, aye?"
