His chest rumbled as their lips parted. Rubbing the tip of his nose against hers, this time he didn't speak to her eyes. He spoke to her soul.
“I can be president of a company, and I can design a car.” He smiled. “A damn good one. But what I wantâ¦what I need more than anythingâ¦is to spend my life with you. Don't let this past week get in the way of what we have.”
She searched his eyes. “What
do
we have?”
“Phoebeâ¦darlingâ¦we have each other.”
Won over, she dropped her head back and waited for his kiss. She would have waited for ever, she thought. But when it didn't happen she slowly frowned and opened her eyes. One coal-black eyebrow was hiking up.
“Phoebe? Do you believe me?”
Her dawning smile was softâ¦was real.
“Yes,” she sighed. “I believe you.”
The groove disappeared from between his brows and a dazzling smile lit up his face. His voice deepened as he held her tighter. “Do you love me even half as much as I love you?”
“Much more than that.” It seemed as if she'd always loved him.
“Then your answer's yes? You'll be my bride?”
A choked laugh escaped. “Tomorrow, if you want.”
“Because, if you have any doubts, I can show you something I think might help.”
He tilted his head towards the base of her tree and her gaze was drawn to the biggest knotâto the place where she'd etched her initials and that love heart so many years ago. A heartbeat before he drew her unequivocally closeâbefore he sealed their once-in-a-lifetime love the way she liked bestâPhoebe's heart swelled as she recognised the letters he'd carved above her own.
