Don't Let Me Down

by Kelsie Rae

“I always knew you’d be the one to bring me to my knees, Mia Rutherford.” He nuzzles his head into the crook of my neck and squeezes me tightly. “I figured if I was patient enough, I might convince you to give me a real shot.”

Awwww 🥹💕

“You know what has a better ring to it?” he asks. “What?” “Husband.” My eyes pop. “Husband?” “Yeah. It’s a lot better than Professor, don’t you think?” “Henry––” “And speaking of rings…” He digs into the front pocket of his slacks. “I was going to ask you to marry me at dinner tonight, but seeing you up here?” He glances at the empty podium. “I don’t want to waste another second without making it official. Without you calling me husband.”

😍😭

“So are you gonna ask me if I’ll marry you, or are you assuming I’m going to say yes?” Henry forces himself into my line of sight and orders, “Say yes.” With a laugh, I give in way more quickly than the old Mia would ever approve of. “Yes.” “That’s my girl.”

💕💕 so cute!
