dropping it on the ground.
    Henry’s cock came to life instantly.
    She turned around then massaged her breasts, giving him a hot look. “Am I going to do this by myself?”
    Henry closed his gaping mouth then practically sprinted after her. “Definitely not.”
     
    He pulled up to the shack and saw Sydney and Coen sitting on the steps outside. His hand was resting on her thigh and he was whispering something to her. She giggled then kissed him.
    Henry liked watching their affection and feeling nothing but happiness for both of them. Sydney used to be the love of his life, but now he realized she had nothing on Ren. His love for her consumed him entirely.
    He approached them. “I hope you got the sex out of the way.”
    Sydney smirked. “We just had make up sex a little while ago.”
    “What were you fighting about now?” Henry asked. “It seems like that’s all you ever do.”
    “We fight because we’re both passionate and stubborn,” Coen said. “But I guess that’s why we go together so well.”
    “We don’t go well together at all,” Sydney said. “You drive me crazy. But I love you for some inexplicable reason.”
    “Because I’m good in bed and have tattoos.” He rolled his eyes.
    “There’s more than that.” She hit his arm playfully.
    Coen looked at Henry. “So, what’s up?”
    “Want to help me pick out the ring?”
    Sydney covered her face and gasped. “Oh my god! Seriously?”
    Henry nodded. “I’m going to ask her this weekend.”
    Sydney screamed so loud Henry had to cover his ears.
    “Shit,” Coen said. “You don’t even scream that loud in bed.”
    Sydney jumped up and hugged Henry. “Let’s go! Now!”
    Henry laughed. “Okay, okay. Geez, calm down.”
    Coen brooded. “She wasn’t even that excited when I proposed.”
    ‘Well, I didn’t know your proposal was real,” she snapped.
    “You still didn’t seem that excited,” Coen said.
    Henry rolled his eyes. “Can you have this fight later?”
    “Oh yeah,” Sydney said. “Sorry. Let’s go.”
     
    They walked into the jewelry store and Henry looked around. “ I think she’ll like this one. What do you think, Syd?”
    She looked through the glass. “No. She won’t like a princess cut. That isn’t her.”
    Henry looked at the plain circular diamond in the white gold band. “How about that one?”
    Sydney nodded. “That’s nice. Get that one.”
    Coen whistled when he saw the price. “It’s pricey.”
    “She’s going to wear it for the rest of her life. It should be pricey.” Henry looked at the sales associate. “I’ll take this one.”
    She pulled it out of the display box then handed it to him. “And the size?” she asked.
    Henry handed it to Sydney. “You guys are the same size. Can you try it on?”
    Sydney pulled her wedding ring off and put Ren’s on. “It’s a perfect fit.”
    “Good.” Henry took it off. “This is perfect.”
    “Alright.” The associate rang him up. “How would you like to pay for that?”
    “Credit card,” he blurted. He handed the card over.
    Coen clapped his shoulder. “We’ll take you out to lunch…since you’re officially broke.”
    Henry laughed. “Thanks, guys.”
     
    “What’s your plan?” Sydney asked over lunch.
    “I want it to be intimate, but I want everyone there immediately afterward. I think it would mean a lot to her,” Henry said.
    “Well, you’re a writer,” Coen said. “Maybe you should write her something.”
    Henry rubbed his chin. “I think I know what I want to do. But I’ll need your help…and Thatcher’s help.”
    “Thatcher?” Coen asked.
    “Why him?” Sydney asked.
    “Because he’s rich and knows everyone on the island. He might be able to get someone to do a favor for me,” Henry said.
    “Since you’re Nancy’s best friend, I’m sure he would do anything for you,” Sydney said.
    “Yeah, I think he would.” Henry felt his heart rate increase. “I can’t believe this is really happening. I never thought I
