Dangerous Crush (Dangerous Noise 2)

I peel off the wrapping. My eyes go to his. Is he really doing this?

Are we really...

He pulls open the ring box. "Piper Strong, will you marry me?"

The ring is modern, a round stone in a twisting band.

It's huge.

It's huge and it's beautiful.

I bring my gaze from the ring to Kit. "What about Mal and Ethan?"

"Already got their blessing."

"Really?"

He smiles. "And a few choice words about what will happen to me if I break your heart."

Now, I'm smiling too. I can't believe my brothers are okay with this. Not that I'd let their disapproval affect my decision. "Everyone is going to say I'm too young."

"Do you care?"

"No." I stare into his eyes. "Yes, of course I'll marry you."

He slides the ring onto my finger. It's the best thing I've ever seen, my left hand adorned with Kit's engagement ring.

Then my gaze goes back to him, to the expression of joy on his face, and that becomes the best thing I've ever seen.

I pull him up, into my arms, and I kiss him. Our kiss is the best thing I've ever felt.

I don't have any doubts. Wherever life takes me, I know I want Kit by my side.

Author’s Note

After I finished this book, I sat down in the coffee shop down the street and I started writing an author’s note about my favorite song. Okay, favorite is the wrong word. Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner is not my favorite song. It’s not even my favorite Fall Out Boy song. (On second thought, it absolutely is. I don’t think I can understand how much the album From Under the Cork Tree means to me). But it is a song that struck me somewhere deep the first time I really listened to the lyrics. Teenage Crystal listened to this song on repeat. Okay, and early 20s Crystal. It’s all about thinking you’re a mess but wanting someone’s love enough that you’re willing to drag them to your level.

Kit is only a little younger than I am, at least assuming this book is taking place as I’m writing this letter. I’d like to think this song struck the same chord in him.
