She turned another page.

Blink

My eyelids shut and I curse them

For those seconds they stole

The time they took from me

Not able to gaze upon your beauty

Your face

Your lips

Your smile

There is nothing more perfect

More sacred

More captivating

Just you

She flipped through several more pages reading more entries. Gravity. Shadow. Angel. Mine. Each one heartbreakingly beautiful.

“They’re all about you. Every single one.”

She lifted her eyes to his and felt tears starting to well. “They are?”

“Yeah. I know that you say I saved you the day we met, but the truth is you saved me the day you came back. I was in a really dark place and you were like a breath of fresh air. You let me breathe again. You gave me hope. And I’m sorry it took me so long to realize it and, as Nonna likes to say, get my head out of my butt. I love you, Audrey. I always have and I always will.”

“I love you, too.” She leaned forward and pressed a kiss to his mouth.

He cupped her cheek with his hand and when their kiss broke, he rested his forehead on hers. “I know it’s bad form to ask someone to marry them at another person’s wedding. So I am not doing that. But, I am telling you that I have Nonna’s ring in my back pocket and the second you’ll let me put it on your finger, it’s yours.”

“Okay,” she smiled from ear to ear.

“Is that a yes?” he asked with intensity in his deep brown stare.

“Yes.”

The back of her chair was bumped, bursting the bubble of two that she had been floating in. She turned and saw one of the servers going out the makeshift door of the tent with one of the platters. Before the curtain fell back into place she noticed something and stood up.

She pushed the curtain out of her way and walked outside. Josh followed behind her.

“What? What’s wrong?”

“This is it.” She pointed to the large boulder in the center of the grass area beside the tent.

“What is it?”

“This is where I was standing when we met.” Tears were in her eyes as she looked up at him.

Josh looked around and recognition dawned on his face. “You’re right. This is it.”

He took the ring out of his pocket and got down on one knee.

“I thought you said that this is bad form.” She sniffed back tears she was holding in.

“It is. I don’t care. Audrey Faith Wells, I love you. I want to marry you and have slow dance Sundays, and cheat during quick draw, and take AcroYoga classes with you, and adopt all the rescues in the world. Will you marry me?”

She nodded as tears fell down her face. “Yes.”

He slid the simple, solitaire, oval diamond on her finger and stood up pulling her into a hug. He kissed her forehead and she looked up at him at the exact time that fireworks exploded behind his head. She’d totally forgotten that the Valentine’s Day Festival had fireworks.

A sense of déjà vu overcame her.
