If you’ve ever been the belle of the ball, you know exactly how I feel at this moment. All night long, all eyes are on me. I’m glad that Amy came to help me dress and even more happy she pushed me toward the classy outfit. Everyone looks amazing. Even my dad dressed up, and getting him to wear
anything
but coveralls is a chore.
After we eat, Sean leads me to the center of the room, where a dance floor has formed. He wraps his arms around me and holds me close.
“I’m glad I didn’t lose you,” he murmurs.
“Me too.” I lean my head on his shoulder, thinking about how far we’ve come. When he explained his past to me, I could have ran. Hell, I did run. But I came back. I came back for him and he was waiting for me.
How many guys would have waited?
How many guys would have given me the time?
Only Sean.
I can’t imagine my world without him. I wake up every morning thinking of him and when I fall asleep every night, I dream of him. He’s the only one for me. As we dance, I let myself lean on him. I melt into him, breathing in every second that we're together. At the end of the day, my heart beats only for him, and I hope beyond hope that he knows exactly how I feel about him.
Suddenly, Sean stops dancing. He puts his hands on my cheeks and kisses me deeply. And then, in the middle of my party, in the middle of the restaurant, in the middle of my friends, family members, and colleagues, Sean shows me how much he agrees with my assessment of our relationship.
The song slows, and he slips to the ground.
“Are you okay?” I ask. He looks like he started to fall, but he just smiles. That’s when I notice: everyone is watching us, and he’s not all the way down. He’s just down on one knee.
And he’s holding out a silver ring with a sapphire in the center of it.
“Violet,” he says. “You’re amazing. You’re everything to me.”
The world around me starts to blur. I’m so surprised that this moment is happening here. This moment is happening now. This moment is happening with Sean. I start to choke up, but I push the tears down. I don't want to ruin this. I want to remember every single thing about this night: the way I feel, the way he looks, the way our hearts are colliding into one another.
“There's no one else who makes me laugh the way you do. There's no one else who keeps me on my toes like you. Only you can make me feel this way. Only you know every little thing about me and love me in spite of it. Only you push me to be a better man. Only you can look at me when I'm broken and still believe I can be something greater than I am. Make me the happiest I’ve ever been, Violet. Marry me.”
All eyes are on me.
My blue-and-black hair shimmers beneath the glow of the lights and my red lips curve into a smile.
There’s only one thing I could ever say to Sean.
“Yes.”
