I smile at the note and notice another trail of roses. I follow them turning the corner and walking into a massive kitchen. On the counter I spy another piece of paper and practically run to it.

This is where I’ll be making you breakfast in bed to show you how special you are to me. And where you will be fixing all of the screw ups I make when I try to cook.

I smile thinking about yesterday morning when I woke up at Lacey’s and Brian was there cooking breakfast for me. There are more roses on the floor leading out to the backyard. There is a stone patio surrounded by a wall that’s about two feet tall. I pick up the note sitting on the ledge.

This is where we will have friends over for barbecues and hopefully in a few years birthday parties.

Birthday parties? Is he hinting at kids? I take a deep breath and follow the next trail which leads back into the house to what looks like it would be the dining room.

This is where I will sit down with you each night and ask you about your day. I want to know every single part of you that I don’t already.

I can’t believe he set all of this up. I rarely see this side of Brian and it is only showing me that I made the right decision last night. I follow the petals up the stairs and see that they disappear behind a door. There is a note taped to the door.

When I open the door there are hundreds of candles lit all along the floor and Brian is standing in the middle of the room. He has on a black button up shirt, dress pants and is holding a single white rose. I walk up to him wrapping my arms around him. After a minute he pushes me away and gets down on one knee. No.

“Julia Fisher, I have loved you since the day that I first saw you. I didn’t know why, or how it was possible, but I did. You are the only person who has ever made me feel like I was good enough. I know that we have had our problems, but no matter what, every time we have found each other again. That to me is a sign that we are meant to be. When I am not with you, a piece of me is missing and I don’t feel complete until you’re near me again. I lived six years of my life feeling lost and alone without you and I don’t want to spend another day like that. I know this is fast and that you probably think I’m crazy but I want you to be mine forever. I promise to cherish you every minute that I am lucky enough to have you. I will make you feel loved every day. I bought this house for us but that’s all it is right now. It needs love to become a home. I love you and will spend forever making you happy if you will have me.”

I look at him completely speechless. My heart is screaming at me to tell him yes, but my head is telling me this is too soon. I just agreed to be with him again and then he does this? That’s when I remember what Lacey said to me before I left this morning when I was talking to her about last night, “If you never jump you’ll never have the chance to fly.”

“Yes.”

He looks at me surprise evident in his face. He opens up the small box in his hand that I didn’t see before and slips it onto my finger. Brian stands up and places a kiss on my lips and his smile is so big that I can feel it against my face.

I pull away from him and look into his eyes. “I love you, Brian Evans.”

Today I have finally made the decision to jump without the fear of falling.

And it feels fucking fantastic.

About The Author:

I love reading romance books! I feel like being able to lose yourself in a book in one of the more exciting aspects. The books I love to read and write will be ones that make you feel for the characters. You should have an opinion on every character in a book. Whether you love them, hate them, or think they are up to something.

I live in Philadelphia Pennsylvania with my husband, and three kids. On top of starting a writing career I am a full time student, and a full time mom. I love spending time with my kids, although I have to hide the computer from them when I am writing! I love being active and being able to do any activity outdoors.

I have always thought as an author the most important critic is your reader, so I would love to hear from you. If you read the book and loved it or hated it, tell me. As long as it is in a constructive way I will always answer and interact with you. I want fans to feel free to tell me what they want for the characters in the story and what they want to see happen.
