Chapter 74

“Oui,” was all Michael said. Then she sank down on one knee. “Je t’aime, cherie. ?pouse-moi ce soir.”

Cam’s hand covered her mouth. Her eyes were wide. A smile formed on her face.

“Get up.” Cam laughed, “you’ve already done the knee thing. I told you that, yes, I would marry you, but tonight?”

“Oui. Tonight. As soon as we can. Don’t you think so?”

Cam nodded thoughtfully. She smiled brightly. “Oui, je t’épouserai ce soir. I will marry you tonight.”

Michael jumped to her feet and took Cam into her arms. Then she kissed her.

Cam took a step back. “Are you wearing my grandfather’s lapel pin?” she asked as her fingers traced over it.

“Yes, I hope you don’t mind, but I was missing you so very much and Maggie suggested I wear something of yours so I could touch it whenever I thought of you. I know how much this means to you, so I wore it.”

“And you remember the meaning?”

Michael nodded.

“Then it is appropriate that it should be yours. It is my wedding gift to you.”
