When I’m close enough, he reaches out and grabs me, pulling me into a hard hug. He buries his face in my neck and inhales deeply. Standing on my toes with my arms wrapped around his shoulders, I whisper, “Thank you for the roses.” “You’re welcome.” “And the diamond bracelet. It’s crazy beautiful.” “Not as crazy beautiful as you. Why aren’t you wearing it?” “I thought you might like to be the one to put it on.”
