“Are you alright?” I asked as we walked down the sidewalk, gazing at the Eiffel Tower in the distance.
“I’m fine.” He squeezed my hand. “Let’s have a seat. There’s something I want to talk about.”
I nodded, my heart racing as we approached the bench.
“Are we... okay? Did I do something wrong?” I asked, my eyes downcast, unable to look him in the eye.
“Oh, sweetheart. I didn’t mean to make you worry. We are fine.” He sighed. “I’m going about this all wrong,” he muttered. “Damn.”
“What do you mean?”
“Bear with me. This is a first for me.” He hesitated a moment. When his hands cupped my face and his eyes bore into mine, I felt only love, a pure and unconditional love that I had never felt before. “I don’t know the exact moment I fell in love with you. But I did and I’ve never been happier. There’s almost nothing in this world that could make me happier.”
“Almost?”
“Yes. You see, I don’t wish to share you. I don’t wish to be apart from you. I want to wake up with you by my side, nestled against me every morning. I want to fall asleep with you every night, our bodies tangled in the sheets.”
Tears filled my eyes as I watched Sebastian lower to his knee before me. “Marry me,” he said. “Complete me in all ways.”
And without any thought, without looking at the opened box in his hand, I answered. “Yes! A millions times yes.”
And just like that, our story shifted. What had begun as a lawyer helping a man convicted of murder had become so much more.
