“Yesterday!” spills from her trembling mouth.
My eyebrows meet. “Yesterday?”
“Yes,” she whispers. “I wanted to marry you yesterday…for a while now. I-I just didn’t know if that’s what you wanted. I-I know I-I’ve made harsh declarations against it.” She wets her lips while her eyes bounce around me as she tries to gather her words. “Bu-but I want anything that brings me closer to you. I want to be everything you need. I wa-want—”
I silence her unnecessary prattle with a kiss. She’s given me my answer: Elle Ann Jarreau will be Mrs. Jackson Q. Hunter aka Elle A. Hunter and I will now have the wings I need for my flight to take on the world.

Love Acknowledges
B.J Williams — Thanks for allowing us to use your images as visuals for our readers who follow. I’ll do one official apology for all the salacious comments you may come across when being referred to as Jackson. My best to you in all your endeavors!
Planet Love Belvin — For every post of encouragement, every referral to a LB book, every random joke you share, every thoughtful inbox, each email of love, and your immense positive energy…THANKS! I appreciate you all, especially those I’m in touch with daily. You’re a bunch for fools and freaks; exactly where I feel at home! Special shout out to my admins – Jemeka and Shawnda. I couldn’t do it without your dedication. I hope to meet you all one day. It’ll be ‘tew’ much!
Love’s Betas — Angela Jennings, Yorubia McNeil, Sabrina S. Scott, and Juaquanna Gaines-Sams. Thanks for the sacrifice of your time and your honest feedback. Hopefully you all know by now how sensitive I am not. LOL! I appreciate you immensely. Christina C. Jones aka CCJ, your connection has been such a blessing. Everyone should have an #AuthorBae, even if they can’t be as fortunate to have one as brilliant as mine. You’re awesome!
Cedeara Ardell McCollum — Thanks, baby girl, for the sketches you’ve designed for my books—books that you aren’t allowed to read for like…ever! So proud of you. So happy to have you as a resource, Sunshine!
Tina V. Young — You are such a gem! Whew! Praise God for your #Petty eye! I am still in awe of your findings. It’s great to know smart people! Thanks for being my geek (insider). Blessings to you!
In-house editor: Zakiya Walden of I’ve Got Something to Say Incorporated — Thanks for rocking with me this long. I’ve gotten more demanding and less conventional with my scheduling, but you’ve been determined to stick on in here with us. You’re very appreciated!
Karen Rogers-McCollum — You absolutely spoil me! There is no way the last two books could have been published in the time in which they were without your dedication, expertise and flexibility. And you’ve given even more with this one. Thanks sooooo much for all your words of encouragement and nurturing hand!
MDT: And another one, bo$$!
To my Master, my Jireh, my Rohi, Isaiah 55:11. May Your Word be implanted in every word I publish. May Your Spirit be felt in all I do.
