Ask Her Again (3 page)

Sue swooned in his arms and stared into his gorgeous big brown eyes, she felt a warm tear splash her cheek, "Sounds perfect, Larry, just perfect."

Larry wiped the tear from her cheek. "And I was thinking, I could sort out the back garden, put down a sand pit by the patio, a swing and a slide by the shed and still leave room for playing football. For when Jack visits to play with his new cousin. What do you think?"

Lisa felt another warm tear roll down her cheek. "Sounds like quite a plan you've been hatching young man. And you never said a word, you are a dark horse. There's more to you than meets the eye. And the more I get to know you, the more I love you."

"Must be because you're my soulmate, I just can't live without you. I feel like I can do anything when you're by my side. I'm so in love with you, Sue, I'm head over heels. You'll be a beautiful bride and a wonderful mother." Larry hugged her again, a little tighter this time. Never again would he let her go, this time it's forever.
