I laughed. “Those things are silly! I don’t need a push present. I have everything I could ever need, right here.”
Still, he held out the gift. “Go ahead, open it.”
I gave him a tight-lipped smile and took the box from him, then flipped it open. My jaw dropped as my eyes landed on the contents.
A gorgeous oval-cut engagement ring was tucked into the silky fabric. It was surrounded by a tiny halo of smaller diamonds, and set in buttery yellow gold–dazzling, yet elegant, perfectly to my taste.
“Yes!” I exclaimed, before Nathaniel even had a chance to ask me the big question. “Yes, yes, yes!” I kissed him and melted into his loving embrace, and he slipped the ring on my finger as I placed my newly bejeweled hand on the baby’s back, whispering to her,
“Baby girl, this is the best day of my life.”
