Mac cupped her sweet face in his hands and, looking directly into her beautiful blue eyes, whispered, “Kendall, you just don’t get it, do you? I love you. I’m not playing or toying with your emotions. I genuinely mean what I say. I want to marry you and spend the rest of my life with you. So whaddya say, honey?”
Tears began slowly trickling down her cheeks until she huffed out a breathless sigh. “Yes, oh God, yes. I love you, too, Mac. You’ll never know how much.” She wrapped her arms around him, hugging him close, letting him know just how much she needed him. “Hold me, Mac, please.”
One hundred percent certain that he’d made the right decision, he tenderly kissed her cheek. “Hold you, honey? I can do better than that. I’m never gonna let you go.”
