Colton released my hand and slid it up my arm to cup my face. “I want to have you here one day.”

“Have me where?”

“Here. Where the ceremony takes place.” My brows furrowed as I titled my head. Colton was spewing riddles I didn’t understand.

“I’m confused,” I told him.

Filling his chest with air, Colton slowly bent down to one knee and then everything made sense.

“Autumn Easterly, you are the best thing that has ever knocked into me,” he began and I found myself giggling as I remembered the day we met and I crashed into him while he was looking for flowers. “We had a rocky start in the beginning, but there isn’t a single person I would have wanted to spend the last seven months with. Be my wife and we can share the next seventy years together. Will you marry me?”

He opened up a black box with shaking hands, but I couldn’t pull my gaze away from his eyes. The same eyes that hypnotized me the first time we met. There was no one else for me in this world. Colton was not just my best friend; he was my soulmate.

“Yes!” I exclaimed as I sunk down to my knees and wrapped my arms around his neck.

My family scurried out from their hiding places in the barn when he placed the ring on my finger, but I was too focused on my now fiancé to acknowledge them right away.

Pressing a kiss to my lips, I found my cheeks aching from how hard I was smiling.

“You know what this means, right?” Colton asked as we stood in unison.

“No, what?” I replied, finally taking a chance to admire the large diamond ring now sitting perfectly on my finger.

“What’s mine is yours. Once we’re married, the house will belong to your family again.”

Laughing as our family and friends approached us with congratulatory wishes, I said, “Maybe that was my plan all along.”

Without skipping a beat, Colton replied, “Ha, you love me and you know it.”

Reaching down for his hand, knowing that I would get forever to do so, I said, “I do. I really do.”
