There’s not a single thing I’d change if I could. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to change any of that.” Chase reached behind me and bunched my hair into his hand, cupping it along with the nape of my neck. Three locks might turn to seven, and doing my check in that big house of yours is going to take a long time. “You know I’m going to be even crazier once we live together, and probably even worse when we have our own family. So, please tell me you’ll be my wife because I’ve already been waiting for you my entire life, and I don’t want to wait any more.” I pressed my forehead to his as tears streamed down my face. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and I want it to start yesterday. When I’m with you, I’m myself, only a better version, because you make me want to be a better man. I want to be the man to look under your bed every night and wake up next to you in it every morning. You brought me back to life, and there’s nothing I want to do more than build that life with you. Since then, you’ve distracted me every day whether you’re near me or not.
I didn’t even care that we were both on dates with other people, I just needed to be closer to you any way I could. From the moment I saw your beautiful face light up that dark hallway a year ago, I was done. “Maybe it wasn’t a school bus or middle school, but I fell hard for you in the hall, that much I’m sure of. I squeezed his hand, offering reassurance, and he steadied. If it was possible, I fell a little more in love with him in that moment. My cocky, always-confident bossman was nervous. “You got the crazy part right.” Chase took my hand, and it was then I noticed his was shaking. Reese Elizabeth Annesley, since the first time I laid eyes on you on that bus in middle school, I’ve been crazy about you.” I smiled and shook my head. “I had this whole thing to say planned out in my head, but the minute I saw your face, I completely forgot every word. All of our family and friends faded away as the man I love got down on one knee. Everything after that happened in slow motion. The restaurant, which had been a loud rumble, suddenly quieted.
