“This ring is called a Semi-Eternity ring!” He got it right away and let out a bark of laughter. The employees looked at us like we’d lost our minds, but we could not stop laughing. I could not think of anything more perfect for our fake marriage than a semi-eternity ring.
“You okay?” he asked. “Fine,” I wheezed. “Good.” He looked over his shoulder at me. “Because you know if you die, they’ll definitely blame me. They always look at the husband first.”
“You realize this is crazy, right? My wife is pissed off at me that I can’t get my wedding ring off so she can hook me up with another girl.”
“I’m not leaving you, Mrs. Anderson.” “I’m not an Anderson.” “We can’t all be perfect.”
After god knew how long, I felt a new, cold hand on my back, and then Claudia was transferring me to Beckett's arms. He held me in a tight hug, rocking me. “It’s okay, baby, I’ve got you,” he said softly.
“I think maybe we were supposed to be friends…” he swallowed, “first.”
I pulled him close, until his forehead rested against mine. “I want you to be happy.” He smiled. “Then shut up and kiss me.”
“No, fuck it. I’m done dancing around this. Emmy, I’m in love with you.”
