Ward

If Grace is this beautiful at my table, I bet she’d look exquisite on her knees...

“Once that collar goes around your neck, it can’t be removed without damaging the chain,” I tell her. “Think carefully about whether you want to wear it, and don’t accept it unless you’re willing to dedicate yourself to me, mind and body.” “I’ve been ready for you this whole time.”

She’s different because of what she means to me. I respected the others, but I didn’t love them. And I fucking love Grace.

“I’m the man who’s been falling in love with you since day one.”

I want to give you a life as abundant and extraordinary as you are. I want to be your husband. You don’t have to answer tonight—” “Yes,” I tell him. “Yes, I’ll marry you, Sir. A thousand times yes.”
