Chapter Twenty Five

The doorbell’s incessant ringing was making my soufflé fall during a Food Network Challenge. My god, there was ten thousand dollars at stake, couldn’t someone get up and answer the damn door? Wait. Huh? I lifted my head and the sparkle from my gorgeous engagement ring caught my eye in the dim light. Oh yeah. My mind was fully alert now, and I could feel the smile stretching the morning-tired muscles of my face. All traces of my dream evaporated as I looked over to Carter and saw him struggling to wake up, too.

“Who the heck would be mashing the doorbell so dang early?” My voice sounded hoarse to my ears.

“One guess. I’m surprised she waited till dawn. She was probably dressed and counting the minutes until she felt it was a reasonable time to come over.” Carter stopped talking for a moment and gave me a look so overflowing with love that my stomach fluttered. “Good morning, my lovely fiancée.”

I smiled even bigger and threw my left hand out in front of me so that Carter could admire the ring on my finger as well. “Good morning, future husband.” Ooh, that sounds good. Carter was mine. It was pretty much official now, I was wearing this chunk of emerald on my ring finger, and there was no way anybody was going to pry it off.

The next assault on the doorbell started again so I sat up. “Let yourself in, Cheryl,” I screeched at the top of my lungs, only belatedly realizing that Lucy was also barking at the front door. A second later the chimes and barking stopped and Cheryl and Lucy came barreling down the hallway together.

“Let me see it!” She bounded up onto the foot of the bed a second before Lucy, bouncing up and down. “Let me see it!”

“You already saw it.” Carter was hoisting himself up on one elbow. “It hasn’t changed since the last time you looked at it.”

“I know, but I want to see it on.” I dutifully held up my hand to Cheryl’s face. “It’s beautiful. Oh my god, Juss, you’re really going to be my sister.” She leaned forward and grabbed me around the neck for a hug. I threw my arms around her and we squealed for a second before I pulled back.

“I need coffee.” I wasn’t as groggy as most mornings, surely the result of a fantastic night, but I still wasn’t at my best before caffeine.

“I’ll make it.” Carter pulled himself out of bed and walked out of the room after raising his brow and giving me a suggestive look. Wow, he can make my girly bits zing silently and from across the room. Impressive. I gave him a saucy wink in return and he walked out of sight. Cheryl was back to inspecting the ring. She was moving my hand from side to side to try to catch the light from different angles, much as I had done continually last night from the time he slipped it on my finger until I turned off my bedside lamp well after my usual bedtime.
