She shrugs. “Well, you know I don’t have many fond memories of home.”

“I know.” I take her hand. “But your mom is all better now, right? Maybe it’s time to make some new memories.”

Violet says nothing.

I stroke her hand. “Besides, I want to meet her.”

Violet’s eyebrows arch. “You do?”

I nod. “I want to thank her for bringing such an amazing person into this world.”

Violet blushes as she shakes her head. “You don’t have to do that.”

“And I want to tell her that I’m going to do my best to be a good husband to her daughter.”

Violet’s eyes grow wide. “What are you talking about?”

I take the satin box out of my pocket and start to go down on one knee. Violet stops me.

“What are you doing?”

“Proposing,” I tell her. “At least, that’s what I was going to do.”

Her eyebrows furrow. “But we’ve only been together for three months.”

“I know. But you also said you’ve loved me for a long time and that I shouldn’t lose you again.”

“But—”

I place my finger on her lips. “I can’t believe you’re arguing with me on this.”

“I just…” She swallows. “I don’t know if we’re ready.”

“I know we are,” I tell her as I touch her cheek. “You know how I know? Because there’s nothing the two of us can’t overcome. We’re amazing.”

Violet says nothing.

I give her a puzzled look. “What? You don’t believe that?”

“I do. I know we’re amazing. It’s just that—”

I silence Violet with a kiss. If there’s one thing I’ve learned these past few months, it’s that the best way to stop her from arguing with me is by kissing her. Thoroughly.

After I pull away, I look into her eyes.

“Marry me, Violet.”

She gazes back into mine. “You really don’t know how to take no for an answer, do you?”

“No.”

She chuckles. “Then I guess my answer is yes.”

My lips curve into a smile. “Good.”

I kiss her again. This time, as I do, I slip the diamond ring onto her finger. She takes a look at it and gasps.

“This is…”

“Real? Yes. Expensive? Yes.”

“I was going to say it’s incredible,” Violet says.

“Just like you.” I take her hand and kiss it. “I love you.”

Her eyes glisten just like the lights of the tree. “I love you, too.”

I never thought I’d find love, but now that I have, I’m never letting it slip through my fingers again.

~The End~
