The quakes in my body slowly fade, and I find Cole leaning over me, eyes intense. “You know, you did steal something from me.”
“Oh? What was that?”
“You stole my heart.”
I laugh, and it feels good. The laughter erases the anger and the hurt. “You know that’s unbearably cheesy, right?”
“I do.”
“Good,” I pull him down to kiss me. “So what’s the price for that?”
“My heart?”
I nod.
“It’s a big one, but the only one I can think of that’s fair.”
“Tell me,” I say, smiling.
He’s smiling too. “Marry me.”
THE END
