She turns to face me and waves me over to her. “I wanna take a picture,” she says jumping up and down. “Hurry up,” she calls out when I don’t move fast enough. “I wanna get this gown off. It’s hot,” she says pulling on her dark blue graduation gown.
I smile as I wrap my arms around her shoulders and pull her to my side. I lean down and whisper in her ear. “Funny you mention that gown ...” She pulls away and looks up at me. “Because I was just thinking of how to get you out of that.”
She chuckles as she wraps her arms around my neck. “I was hoping that you were planning to take me home.” Her voice drops to a whisper. “We still have a few places to break in, you know.”
I reach up and run a hand through her dark brown hair, no blue remains. After that day she got shot, I moved in with her, Blane, and Savannah. I didn’t have much considering the fire took everything I owned. But when she was released from the hospital, I drove her home and never left. Three months ago, we bought a house not far from Brecken. It’s where I plan to live for the rest of my life. It’s where I plan to be the husband she deserves and give her the family that she wants. She walked into my life and gave me a reason to dream. Now, I wanna make all of her dreams come true.
“Case?” she asks with a frown. “Everything okay?”
I smile down at her as I pull her closer to me. “Couldn’t be better, sweetheart.” I place my hand in her hair and press my lips to hers.
THE END
