He gazed at her with so much hope in his eyes, tears sparkling there, though not spilling over. He opened the box and held it up to her.
She stared at the exquisite diamond ring. She hadn't expected this to happen - never in her wildest dreams did her thoughts to there. But now that the possibility was in front of her, she knew that she had only one answer to give.
She didn't need to think before she fell into his arms. "Yes! Yes, I will marry you. Yes! Today or tomorrow or next month, I don't care. But yes, I will marry you!"
The tears finally spilled over. He picked her up in a hug and swung her around, kissing her until they were both dizzy. When he set her down, he slid the ring onto her finger, making it official. The diamonds glittered in the candlelight.
"You are everything to me, the soon-to-be Madison Rome," he said, and the name sent shivers through her.
"I love you, Mr. Rome," she said, and kissed him, knowing that neither of them would ever hunger for love again.
