Gunther fixed his tie, wondering if they were going too far. Felicia could refuse to sell out of spite. He took his tie back off. They couldn’t go through with it. It was just wrong. That was not the way he wanted to propose to Lee Ann. Shocked, he looked at himself in his bedroom mirror. Why such a thought popped into his head, he had no idea.

Someone was going to end up hurt. He walked out of his room, planning to put an end to the farce. Felicia’s voice coming from the living room grated on his nerves, and he cringed. There was no backing out now. It was going to be pure misery touching Lee Ann, knowing she hated to be touched.

As soon as one foot hit the first floor, Felicia was upon him.

“Engaged? What a surprise, Gunther. Somehow I’m finding it hard to believe.” Her eyes flashed with rage.

“Not so hard, I’m sure.” He walked over to the chair Lee Ann sat on and kissed her cheek. “We grew up together.”

Lee Ann glanced up at him and gave him a loving smile. Hoo boy, she was a good actress.

“Is that so?” Felicia sat down in the chair next to Lee Ann. She sat at the edge of the seat.

Lee Ann nodded. “One of the reasons I left the ranch in the first place was because Gunther saw me as a child and not as the woman I was. I was wearing my heart out on him, and just became too hard.”

“As far as I could tell by looking at pictures on the internet, you bounced back rather quickly. Wouldn’t you agree, Gunther?”

He seethed while trying to maintain an outward look of calm. “We’re putting that unfortunate happening behind us. I know we have a bright and happy future ahead of us.” He brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes. “Don’t we, darling?”

Lee Ann nodded. “I’m very blessed. Shall we take our seats in the dining room?” She stood, put her arm through his, and glanced up at him with a warm smile.

Gunther gestured for Felicia to go ahead of them. He glanced at Lee Ann and winked at her. Her blush warmed him.

Agnes stood next to the table with a bottle of champagne in her hand. “Gunther, would you open this? I never did get the hang of it.”

Gunther kissed Agnes on her cheek as he took the bottle from her. “Grab a glass for yourself. You’ve been a big part of our lives.”

Happiness spread over her face as she took a crystal flute from the cabinet. It seemed so right, Gunther had to remind himself it was all pretend. He filled each glass and then raised his to Lee Ann.

“I’ve known you forever. You know what I’m going to say before I even say it. It broke my heart the day you left, and I’m so glad you’re back. Thank you for saying yes when I asked you to marry me.” He took a sip of his champagne as did the others.
