Amy had disappeared, the show started in ten minutes, and I needed her. Our new ritual included a long, slow kiss and without it I felt shaky. Weird.

Incomplete.

Unfinished.

“Ten minutes!’ Darla hollered out, instantly upping the sound of all the techs and assistants, the rush of microphone tests, the push of chairs and equipment grinding against the floor and walls. All the noise made me explode inside, like a thousand little balloons popped at once, filling me with a combination of dread and excitement to the Nth degree, heightened by the package in my pocket and the song in my heart.

This was real.

This was happening.

I was making it happen. The ring was tiny. Too small, I worried. Nothing I could afford would ever be big enough to show her how much I loved her.

This quarter carat stone and the song I’d embedded in my head, my fingers, and my soul would have to be enough.

Six years was way too long to know I loved her and not be bound together forever.

Besides—and I couldn’t tell her this—living together made me feel like I was getting away with something I shouldn’t. Like I was wimping out. While I didn’t believe most of the religious crap my mom and dad had forced in me most of my life, I did have a moral code that said a beautiful, intelligent, loving woman like Amy deserved a man who would commit before God and the law to be with her forever.

And if that made me a sappy weirdo, then I’d accept the title. Liam’s words rang through my head: “Once that ring’s on her finger, you’re done. Forever. Are you sure?”

“As sure as you are about Charlotte,” I’d answered.

His grin had split his face in half. “Then you’re a lucky man.”

A lucky man.

A lucky man who needed to find his anchor.

I prowled through the halls like a man on a hunt, slipping and squirming past the throng of techies who were doing the final few minutes of prep. Looking for her long, brown hair I spotted a ton of chicks who had that, but none were my woman.

And then.

And wow.

I saw her, completely changed. Long hair cascaded down her back in a shimmery glow, backlit by a stage lamp that made her seem ethereal. She wore a black dress that nipped in at the waist, showing off those generous hips, her ample ass, the one I filled my hands with and ached for, even now. Her curves were bold and brightly set off by a red belt and she wore high heels.

What happened to her tennis shoes?

I reached into my front pocket and patted the small jeweler’s box, which now fit uncomfortably there next to my rock-hard erection. She filled me with dreams about home and hearth that I had long-ago vanquished. Long ago given up hoping for.

The only “long ago” I wanted was with her, sixty years from now, as we reflected on a life and a love well lived. The dream filled
