I lean my head on David’s shoulder and take a deep breath.
I never expect to stay in LA like this. I got a job at the university working as an administrator, and so far things are going great. David’s job is flourishing, despite Erik’s injury, Sara stuck around and we hang out a lot, and overall I’m just…
I’m happy. Pure and simple, I’m happy with the man that I love, my future husband, my joy. He takes me, possesses me, and makes me everything I could ever hope to be.
“I love you,” I whisper to him.
“I love you too,” he whispers back, and we kiss.
“Break it up,” Sara groans.
I laugh and hug my arms around David’s neck, the ring glittering in the sunlight.* * *
