Chapter Nine

Three months later.

“Hey Tess, I’m heading over to the shelter to set up.” Parker knocked on her office door.

She looked up and smiled. “I’ll meet you there in about an hour. I just want to run home and change into jeans and a sweater.”

He blew a kiss from the door. Tess sighed. She couldn’t believe how lucky she was. For the past few months she barely went a day without him in it. He’d given her a drawer and room in his closet and she’d done the same for him. Her friends teased her they may as well move in together. Tess saved her files and closed her laptop. She’d promised Elizabeth Donnelly she’d help her with the event. The no-kill animal shelter was ready to open and tonight they were having the Grand Opening celebration. Parker offered to set up at the shelter to take pet portraits for those who adopted at tonight’s celebration.

“Tess, darling, I’m so happy you are here,” Elizabeth greeted Tess with a warm hug.

“I wouldn’t miss it. I’m so proud of the work you’ve done to make this happen. You are my hero.” Tess complimented the woman who had become a very dear friend. Tess planned to help at the shelter on Saturdays.

“Speaking of your real hero” ―Elizabeth winked―“He needs your help first.”

Tess spotted Parker across the room. He placed the camera on its tri-pod and waved for her to come over.

“Elizabeth mentioned you needed me.”

“Always.” He smiled. “But if you could take a seat on the chair, I’d like to make sure my angles are set up correctly.”

Tess nodded and took a seat.

“Now smile,” he teased.

“Come on Parker, you know I don’t like my picture taken.” She laughed.

The camera flashed. Dammit! He always tricks me.

Parker walked toward her and knelt on one knee. Tess gasped. Her eyes grew. Her heart beat faster. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a little black box. He opened it and then took Tess’s hand. Her eyes moved from his to the star-shaped diamond that sat inside the box.

“Tess, I love you. I always will. Will you grow old with me?”

Tears filled her eyes and she nodded. He’d done it again. She was speechless.

“I’ll take that as a yes.” He laughed.

“Yes. Yes. Yes.” She leaned to seal it with a kiss.

Parker placed the beautiful star-shaped diamond on her finger.

“May we always share a love for the stars?” He lifted her hand to his lips.

“I love you Parker.”

“Is it time?” Elizabeth called out.

Parker gave her a thumbs-up.

“Time for what?” Tess asked and then looked up to see Elizabeth walking toward them with a dog on a leash; a black Pug wearing a pink sweater.

“Oh my, she’s adorable. I love Pugs!” Tess exclaimed.

“Then I’ve made the right choice,” Parker announced.

Tess looked at him. “She’s ours?”

Elizabeth handed the leash to Parker. Tess knelt down beside Parker and the Pug. She laughed when the dog tackled her with kisses. Tess reached for the box tied around her collar.
