We ate, and Kit flicked through the movie channels until she found something she wanted to watch. I kept my gaze on her and let the memories I’d repressed come to the fore.

After the first time we’d made love, when we were teenagers back at the farm, we’d driven home almost in silence. We’d done it, but something had changed more than just the shifting of our relationships. We’d made a commitment.

I’d asked her to marry me.

Kit had laughed—I’d been telling her we’d be married one day since way back when we’d been kids—then she’d realized I was for real and this was my proposal. I was lying between her legs, sweaty and exhausted, and so utterly in love, so changed and reborn and satisfied, that I knew I had to lock her down. Keep her close in the same way she kept me grounded.

The risk that one day Kit would leave me, maybe grow out of loving me and want to date someone else, had been driving me crazy, distracting me in class and depressing the fuck out of me. She made me so happy, I couldn’t bear the thought of it.

But at my proposal, she’d held me tight, hugging me like her life depended on it.

She’d said yes.

We’d laid there together in silence, stunned and stupefied, our worlds changed forever. Engaged to be married. Like we’d agreed when we were children, but different, despite the fact we were still only high-schoolers with nothing to our names.

The emotional one of the two of us, I’d been horrified to find my eyes getting wet, but I was man enough to own my emotions, and the day had already been too much. The buildup of teenage hormones, the fear of hurting her, the plan to ask her to be my wife just as soon as we were able—it had overwhelmed me. I’d wanted to place my head on her shoulder and sob like a damn baby.

Kit had wrapped me up in a full body hug, her frame gloriously naked and beautiful, and her hair spilling over us in a golden curtain that hid us from the world of my bedroom.

Without access to any real money for another year, I couldn’t buy her a ring, but I planned eventually to buy her something unique. This was one thing I wasn’t prepared to ask for my dad’s help with. Instead, Kit had my promise and I had hers. It was enough. The symbol could wait.

Kit had laughed off the idea of owning expensive jewelry, but even if she didn’t want to wear it, one day we’d have a daughter who might. Or a son who could give it to the woman he loved. I’d kept this secret part of my plan to myself, but it filled me with a buzzing kind of happiness.

Kit might not have been ready to hear my family plans, but Cody had endured me droning on about it for months. On the lacrosse field, he’d threatened me with his stick if I told him the names I’d thought up for my kids.
