I cup her face, tilting her chin so she can't look away. "Will you marry me, Firefly? Because all I want is to be your husband. And one day, when we're ready, I wanna give you babies too."

Her laugh explodes out of her like fireworks, and she twists around, sending half the bathwater onto our floor, but who gives a shit about water damage when she's grabbing my face and kissing me like this?

"Yes," she breathes out against my mouth, kissing me again and again. "Yes. God, yes."

I pull her closer, my arms wrapping tightly around her as she cradles my face in her hands. "I thought dancing on that stage tonight was the peak of my life," she says, her voice breaking as happy tears spill down her cheeks. "But nothing beats how this feels right now."

She sniffs, letting out this watery laugh that makes my heart squeeze. "Oh my god, Tobias. We're getting married."

"Hell yeah, we are, baby." I press my lips to hers again, my hands roaming over her back, memorizing the feel of her. "And I can't wait to call you my wife."

Forever starts right here.

Right now.

In this tub.

With this ring.

With us.
