I gasp as he slips the stunning gem onto my finger, feeling a mix of giddiness and joy.
“I love it, Caleb,” I whisper with tears in my eyes. “Thank you.”
Then my man stands and kisses me as our hearts join in love. Maybe it’s been a crazy ride so far, but everything points to stability in the future. After all, my man supports me and my ambitions, and is proud to have a smart fiancée on his arm. Even more, I finally paid my debt. My dad’s friend was funding my education, but now I’ve made it up to him in the best way of all: with a baby, who will grow up loved and cherished by both parents.
THE END
