“I’m understanding you. That’s what we do.”
She could sense the relief crashing through him, knocking him back a step. “We understand each other. Better than anyone,” he rasped. Their lips stroked, slicked sideways and back, reveling in the friction. “We love each other.”
“Like nobody else,” she whispered.
His uneven exhale bathed her face. “Forever, Mel? Are you going to give me forever?”
She looked into the eyes that could see clear through to her soul. “I’d give us ten forevers if I could.”
Relief rolled off him in palpable waves. “I wouldn’t bet against us. We’re pretty good at accomplishing the impossible.”
“You’re right. We better get on the case.”
“I’ve got your first forever right here,” Beat said, setting her down and taking a ring box out of his pocket. Getting down on one knee, right there in the falling snow. “Please take it?”
Melody laughed through her tears. “Consider it taken.”
“I’m going to love you every day for the rest of our lives like I’m making up for fourteen years away from you.”
Her heart rejoiced in colliding with his, two becoming one. “I’ll love you back the same way.”
Beat slipped on the diamond ring with unsteady hands, lunged to his feet, and folded Melody in his arms, their laughter ringing up to the sky as he turned her in circles to the tune of applause and whistles. People cheered from the windows of apartment buildings above. Christmas magic spun around the pair and would continue to weave miracles and happiness throughout the decades that were yet to unfold.
