That’s when he produces the velvet box, his eyes brimming with emotion, with love. “I love you, Addie. You have changed my life in ways I didn’t think possible. And you have made me a better man. Given me hope that man can be more human than monster. Marry me. Please, Addie.” He opens the box and produces a round ring that glows like the glorious moon hanging between the stars.
My heart swells with the gesture that offers me the choice our bodies did not, and I touch his jaw, my fingers curling on the rough stubble shadowing his jaw. “Yes,” I say, sliding the ring onto my finger. “And it was yes from the moment I met you.”
Relief washes over him, as if I would say no, as if I would ever want to be anywhere but right here with him for the rest of my life. I press my lips to his, and he lays me down and makes love to me right here in the middle of the wild, and I can almost hear the wind cheering us on.
The End
