Chapter 43

Peter blew out a sigh of relief. A ripple of thrill snapped through him like a whip, followed by a wave of calmness. He'd thought his head was going to explode as he worked his way through his proposal, never so nervous in his life. He'd feared it was too soon for Alex, but God, he'd waited so long for her already.

He glanced down at Alex's small hand nestled in his. It was soft and warm. He caught a glimpse of his grandmother's ring on her finger. It looked wonderful there, exactly where it belonged. He gave her hand a slight squeeze. She squeezed him back. Great, he wasn't dreaming. This was real, and Alex was going to be his wife.

She glanced up at him with her big emerald-green eyes. He loved her eyes. More than once, he'd been lost in that sea of green. She smiled. He stared at her mouth. He loved her mouth. Her soft, sweet plump lips knew just how to meld with his.
