Chapter 47: Two Truths and a Lie

Dominique's POV

I could feel the intensity of the crowd's gaze on me. Every eye was riveted, wondering if I would accept. Part of me wondered why Alex had proposed so publicly, but I pushed the thought aside. This was a romantic gesture, and I had previously believed that all prospects of romance had gone from my life when Griffin left. What Alex was offering was a new beginning. A life where I knew exactly where I stood with my partner, a man who loved me and understood me. I would be a fool to turn him down.

"Yes, Alex, I will marry you!" I exclaimed, and the dance floor erupted into enthusiastic cheers and clapping. Alex slid the ring on my finger, and I was momentarily surprised by its heft. That is one huge diamond, I realized, it felt like it weighed a ton. But then Alex kissed me, and I didn't care about anything else. We were going to be happy together.
