Excerpts:
“I’ve loved you my whole life, Chas, from that first day you took me home after Michelle died. And I’m terrified you’ll leave me or you’ll stop loving me or even worse, something will happen to you. But I can’t be without you
anymore.” He takes my hands, which are shaking wildly, and swallows.
“Today I watched Mike give away the woman he loves. I can’t do that, Chas. I thought I could, I thought it would be better if you were with someone else, but I was wrong. And I swear to you, I will love you the rest of my life and nothing will ever come before you. Please, Chastity. Forgive me and marry me and have a bunch of babies with me, and I’ll—”
When will I find my one true love, my soul mate? I don’t know... but I know that if don’t meet him here, I’ll meethim in the hereafter...The rest of his words are cut off, because I’m kissing him. And crying,
bawling, really, and Trevor hugs me hard and long. His arms are shaking,
nd his eyes are wet. Then he pries me off him and slides a ring onto my
finger. “I had to go to Jurgenskill for this,” he says, grinning. “Nothing in
town was open.” I just wrap my arms around him again, because really, I
don’t even care what the ring looks like; it could be a piece of string as far
as I’m concerned. All I can do is cling to Trevor and weep, apparently.
