Those Three Words

by Alexis Winter

“Oh, and Miss Silver.” He turns back to face me, slowly pulling his hand out of his pocket and rubbing his chin with an almost undetectable wink. “Let’s keep the orgies to a minimum.”

Me: Now that picture is a masterpiece I’d hang in my office. The art museum can have your painting. ;)

I can’t take my eyes off her. I don’t even care if she catches me. She’s absolutely stunning.

“It’s our first date, Miss Silver, and I’d like to remain a gentleman this evening so if you don’t mind, I’ll keep that answer to myself.”

“You’re such a good girl.”

“I want to marry you. I want you to be my wife. I don’t want you to move out, unless it’s moving out of your room and into mine. I want us to both build a life together and memories with Eleanor.”
