of guy. But, I don’t want to stand in your way. I want you to be happy, and up until last night I was sure that letting you go was the only thing I could do. But I can’t do that now. Not after holding you in my arms. Not after making love to you. And certainly not with the possibility of you being pregnant with my baby.
"If moving to Chicago is what will make you happy, then if you will let me, I’ll go with you. They need firefighters there too, and I guess I can get used to city life. What I can’t get used to is life without you."
Tears rolled down Ellie’s face. She must have misinterpreted what Grammy had been trying to tell her. She hadn’t meant she should stop hanging out with Jake. She’d meant Ellie should marry him.
Choking on her tears, Ellie smiled sweetly up at Jake. "But, Jake, I don’t want to move to Chicago."
"What?"
"I never did. I was only moving because I loved you so much. I didn’t figure you would ever settle down, and if you did, it wouldn’t be with me. I couldn’t stand to see you with other women anymore."
Jake let go of her wrists and rolled on to the bed next to her, pulling her with him.
"I never want to be with any other woman but you," he said softly, dropping a gentle kiss on the tip of her nose.
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"Well, I guess that means I better go call and cancel the moving truck."
Jake grinned. "Yep."
Ellie pushed up off the bed, then stopped just short of standing up as if she’d just remembered something. "But, Jake, I’ve already closed on the house. Where am I going to live?"
Jake’s face went white. "Um, here of course."
Ellie smiled sweetly. "With you? But, Jake, I couldn’t do that! We’re not married. We’re not even engaged." She held up her left hand. "I don’t even have a ring yet."
Jake tried to pretend to be exasperated as he slid off the bed and onto one knee. Looking up at Ellie he pulled the ring box she’d hurled at him just a few minutes before from his pocket and opened it, holding it up for her to see.
"Will this one do?" He grinned.
Ellie giggled. "Well, I guess if that’s all you got. I mean this is all last minute and everything."
But her laughter died as Jake took the ring from its spot on the black velvet and slid it up her ring finger.
"Ellie, you are the best friend I have in the world. You are my completion. Without you, I am just half. Will you please spend the rest of your life with me?"
The tears started again, full force this time. Her answer was watery, "Yes, Jake."
It was all she could say before he caught her to him in a soul-searing kiss.
"There you go again. Crying at happy endings." Jake laughed as he wiped her tears away with his thumb.
"Yeah, well, this time they are definitely happy tears." Ellie kissed him again.
Several minutes later, when she’d regained her composure, she said, "I guess I should go call those movers now."
Jake grinned and reached for the top button on her shirt. "That can wait. We need to get you out of those wet clothes first."
