“How did it go?”

They had chosen the ring, a breathtakingly lovely one, and Lauren had just completed the phone call to her parents.

“They are in shock, but my mother didn’t faint, and they are still speaking to me. They are looking forward to meeting the man who managed to tame their daughter. Their words.”

He pulled her down beside him. “Did you mention we want to be married in four weeks?”

“No, I’m letting them get used to the engagement first. I thought we could tell them next weekend. We also need to decide what kind of wedding we want.” At the look on his face, she clarified, “Large and inclusive or small and private. Family only, or everyone we know. Or something in-between.”

His hand cupped her cheek. “It’s your wedding. What would you like?”

“It’s our wedding,” she corrected. “I want us both to be pleased.”

“Were it up to me, small and private. But I’ll go along with whatever you want.”

“I vote for small and private but very beautiful.” She thought a minute. “Would you consider a garden wedding? My parents have a large, beautiful yard. It’s my father’s hobby and his pride and joy. I’m sure they would be willing to host it. Or if you prefer, I know of one or two places that do wonderful garden weddings and receptions.”

“A beautiful, small and private wedding in your parents’ garden sounds very nice,” he smiled and ran his thumb across her lips. “With a breathtaking bride in a beautiful dress . . .”

“And a gorgeous groom,” she finished and placed a kiss on his thumb. She hesitated a moment then confessed, “Jonas, four weeks seems such a long way off. I wish I belonged to you now.”

He picked up her hand and ran his finger over her ring. “You do belong to me now,” he said. “We belong to each other, Lauren. Be patient a little longer. We’ll have a beautiful wedding and a wonderful life together.”

She looked at him longingly then took a deep breath and said the most unromantic thing possible. “I have to write my letter of resignation. I want to drop it on Peter’s desk today. Would it be possible to make a detour to his office on the way to the luncheon? I am going to need a couple of weeks to deal with things before the wedding takes place, so it has to be today.”

“No problem.”

“There is my furniture to make a decision about and the apartment to deal with,” she stopped, then a smile lit up her face, “and a wedding dress to buy!”
