“I really hoped that’s what you’d say…” He spins me around then sets me down before sliding a large round diamond wrapped in a simple band of white gold onto my finger.
“It’s perfect.”
“A classic ring for a classic girl.” He kisses me on the forehead, holding me like he can’t believe any of this is happening and I can’t either.
I look around the bookstore, packed full of people who all came here to celebrate this thing I’ve built, and it’s all so much more than anything I could’ve dreamed.
A white-haired woman with hazy blue eyes and bold red lips moves to stand beside Drew. I have to pinch myself because it all feels surreal. How is this my life right now?
“Holly, I’d like you to meet my friend, Kandy Kane.”
She smiles and shakes my hand.
“It’s so good to finally meet you.” I lean in so only she can hear me and whisper, “I have some ideas for a scene in your next Santa book, if you’re interested.”
She throws her head back and laughs. “I’m always looking for new material.”
And just like that, I’m rubbing elbows with my hero as my ultra-sexy fiancé sits beside me watching with actual hearts in his eyes.
I guess dreams really do come true. We just have to be brave enough to ask for them…
