I’m only able to get out of my own head when Loxton raps a fork on his champagne glass to get everyone’s attention. Meredith and I turn toward the front of the room, where he stands near the newly spiked punch bowl.

“I want to make a toast,” he announces, smiling warmly at the crowd of people, and I inwardly groan. Here we go.

“I met Sadie Thomas a little over a month ago, and it’s been the best month of my life,” Loxton starts. “As you all know, I’ve never been much for commitment, but that’s just because I’ve never met anyone like Sadie. She’s a doll, inside and out, and she keeps me in line.”

“You need it!” Grayson calls out and Loxton chuckles along with the crowd of people.

“So, I want to ask her to come up here,” he says, beckoning to me with one hand. I slowly walk up toward him, a weak smile spreading across my face.

Loxton drops down on one knee and I look around to make sure that Connor is looking at us. I let tears fill my eyes. I can tell myself I’m just calling back high school drama class., but the truth is, it’s easy to be emotional with Loxton looking up at me with those pale blue eyes of his.

Does part of me want this to be real? I’ve got to be crazy. But there’s something about the soft way he looks at me, the way his eyes crinkle up just slightly.

The tears falling down my face aren’t completely fake, I’ll admit that much to myself.

“What are you doing?” I ask. “Stand up, Lox.”

“I know we’ve talked about this already, but I wanted to wait to officially ask you in front of my friends and family,” he says, ignoring my protests. He opens a ring box and I look down at a truly gorgeous ring, a big diamond with sapphires all around it. “Will you marry me, Sadie Elizabeth Thomas?”

I blink, surprised. I don’t think I’ve ever told him my middle name, but he must have done his research. God, where did he get this ring? We certainly haven’t talked about that, and when I nod yes, still crying, he puts it on my finger. It fits perfectly, even though he couldn’t have known my ring size.

Loxton stands up, smiling, and gathers me into his arms, leaning down to kiss me in front of everyone. It isn’t an insistent, passionate kiss the way that it was when we hooked up, but instead, soft and hesitant, like he’s exploring my mouth. It’s lovely.

Connor slowly applauds and the rest of the crowd begins to clap, too. I find myself blushing furiously and wiping my tears away. I’ve been feeling particularly emotional lately, which is hard for me. My parents were always about appearances, and I was sort of taught to keep things inside. Be calm, cool, and collected.

This all feels too real, and I don’t feel calm, cool, or collected. My heart thunders away in my chest and I can’t seem to stop the tears from falling.
