“You can thank your sisters for that,” he confessed, rising to his feet. “They helped me choose it and told me your ring size.”
“I will,” I said, throwing my arms around his neck. That stupid turtle thing was between our chests, and I still had that damn catcher’s mask on my head, but I kissed him like he was the man I was gonna marry—because he was.
Suddenly I heard raucous cheering from the bleachers.
I pulled my lips off Tyler’s and looked at the stands. It should not have surprised me at all to see my entire family there—and I mean my entire family, from my parents and sisters and their significant others, right down to Noah’s dog Renzo, all three of Mack’s girls, the Carswell clan, a very pregnant Sadie and Josh, and two little girls I didn’t even recognize.
“That was awesome!” one of them hooted. “He did it much better than he did in rehearsal!”
I looked up at Tyler in surprise. “Who are they?”
“Sadie’s across-the-street neighbors.”
“The lemonade girls?”
He nodded sheepishly. “I practiced with them on their front lawn.”
Laughing giddily, I threw my arms around him, and he picked me right up off my feet and swung me around. “I love it! I love you.”
“I love you too,” he said. “And this is just the beginning.”
Maybe he sat me down after that, and maybe he didn’t. I couldn’t seem to feel the ground beneath my feet for days.
But it was okay with me.
I had Tyler, I had family, I had a past I could be proud of and a future to look forward to. I had lessons I’d learned I couldn’t wait to pass on. I had love in my heart and hope in my bones.
Everything was going to be okay.
