“Mm,” she sighed. “What’s up?”
“I just had to come over here and tell you that I love you,” Ty said seriously. “It’s important, so I didn’t want you to have to wait.”
Misty laughed. “I waited long enough to hear it,” she said, her eyes sparkling. “My whole life. Glad the waiting’s over.”
“Over forever,” Ty promised. “How’s the nervousness?”
Misty sighed happily. “Gone completely. Your family’s lovely.”
“I have to agree,” Ty said. “Though I’m biased.”
“With good reason.” Misty looked around at the slowly-growing crowd, the tables piled with food, the kids running around. “This is a good thing we’re doing here, isn’t it.”
“It is.” Ty kissed her again. “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life doing exactly this, with you.”
“Me, neither.” Misty leaned into him. “I love you.”
He held her close, breathed in her scent, and thought that he’d never been this happy.
