We’re joined by Maggie and Wyatt, and together, we all watch as Hayes plays to Hattie, sitting down on the bench together that’s in front of the fireplace. When he’s done, he spins his guitar to his back and then takes a knee in front of Hattie. I can hear her crying from here as my heart hammers out of my chest, watching this perfectly executed moment. Hayes speaks softly to Hattie, holding her hand, and after a sob escapes her, she nods. Hayes scoops her up and kisses her senseless.
