In Your Wildest Dreams (Wildcat Hockey, #4)

by Rebecca Jenshak

“Someday all that will fade. But me and you…I can see us in the distance.”

“I used to dream about the kind of guy I’d end up with, too. What he’d look like, where he’d take me, and all the sweet and romantic things he’d do.” “Yeah?” One side of his mouth quirks up. “Yeah.” I nod. “And you’re so much better.”

“Okay, but before you run off, can you reach into my pocket and get something for me?” He shifts onto his right hip. Confused, but not thinking too much about it, I slide my hand into his left front pocket. “What exactly am I looking for here?” I ask as my fingers touch a cool metal circle. He grins as surprise makes me freeze. I pull out the ring with shaky hands. Ash takes it from me and gets down on one knee. The guys are already cheering around us.

“Not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine loving someone as much as I love you, Bridget. I didn’t know it was possible, and yet somehow, I know I’ll love you even more tomorrow. I thought I had everything I wanted before I met you. A great job, an awesome family, the best teammates.” His buddies all cheer again and Ash chuckles softly before he continues, “but these past few months have been the best of my life. You’re it for me. I knew it from the first time I saw you. Marry me?”

“Yes.” I nod and a tear slides down my face. “I’ll marry you, Ash Kelly.” Everything he said—I feel that too. So much better than my wildest dreams. He pushed past every wall I tried to build around myself and in return, he’s given me everything.

“A toast.” Jack lifts his glass. “To Ash and Bridget.”
