“We sure are,” Jacob said.
Everyone they passed on the way to the stairs welcomed her with smiles and handshakes.
“I feel like a celebrity,” she whispered to Josh and Jacob.
“You are, angel,” Jacob said.
At the foot of the stairs Ethel stood between Sam and Patrick. Those three looked like royalty to Carrie. The two kings with their queen.
When they reached the landing in the middle of the winding staircase, Josh and Jacob stopped.
“What are we doing, guys?” She looked out on all the wonderful people of Destiny. All eyes were on her, Josh, and Jacob. “We’re holding up the party.”
Josh and Jacob got down on their knees in front of her. In unison they said, “Carrie Dixon, will you make us the happiest men in the world and marry us?” Josh held her hand and Jacob brought out a big diamond engagement ring.
Stunned, she brought her hand up to her mouth. “Oh my goodness. Yes. Yes. Yes. I will marry you.”
The crowd cheered, as Jacob slipped the ring on her finger. He and Josh wrapped their arms around her, drowning her in kisses.
I finally found home.
