‘It’s nothing without you, Kate. If this isn’t what you want, then we’ll do something else. I have a week to sign the documents on the land, but if I do it’s ours.’
‘You’re sure this is what you want?’ It sounded like heaven, but if Ethan wanted to live in a shack she’d be fine with that too.
He took her hand, kissing it, and the ring flashed in the winter sunlight. ‘You’ve got your own Ambigulon stone. You could try it out.’
‘Is that what Sam said?’
‘Yeah. Although that wasn’t anywhere on the list of priorities when I chose it.’
‘Might come in handy, though...’ She held her hand over his heart. ‘I see... Ah. It’s all good.’
Ethan chuckled. ‘You can’t stop there. What do you see?’
‘I see an honest heart that loves me as much as I love you, Ethan. I think your plan is just perfect.’
‘I’m glad you like it.’ He put his arm around her and started walking. He was holding her tight, guiding her steps, because Kate wasn’t looking where she was going. All she could see was the ring on her finger and the man she was going to marry.
‘It’ll keep us busy. A wedding and a house. Children...’
‘They’ll keep us very busy. But there are a few other things in the plan as well.’
‘Hot chocolate?’ She grinned up at him and he nodded. ‘Happy for the rest of our lives?’
‘Yes. The first is about ten minutes’ walk away. The second starts right now.’
