I’m happy because the only man who has ever owned my heart wants to spend forever with me. I’m sad because I worked so hard at creating a life that didn’t involve Sutten—that didn’t involve him—that now I don’t know how to intertwine our lives so we can have our happily ever after together. But I want to try. I have to try. In the years since, I’ve spent so much time comparing every other man to him. Cade slipped through my fingers once before, but now that I have him and he’s made it clear how much he wants us, we’ll just have to figure out the rest.
