Grant me enough moments with you to fill up a lifetime because, darling, if you’ll let me, I’d like to be yours every moment of every day for the rest of our lives.” She inhales sharply when I take her hand, our eyes locked. “Serenity, will you please make me the happiest man alive and marry me?” She nods, a tear running down her face. “Yes,” she says. “Yes. Nothing would make me happier, Archer.”
