“Doctor Lady Grace Montgomery-Brown,” he said, trying not to laugh.

I bit down on my lower lip. “That’s ridiculous.”

He nodded. “I have loved you since the day you threw your cheap coffee all over me and I coerced you into giving me your number, only to take you to Scotland in a hare-brained scheme to get out of an arranged date. As you can see, that’s worked out very well for us both.”

I couldn’t stop smiling.

“I told you then that I’d marry you, and now I’m going to hope you’ll prove me right. Grace, you are the love of my life, and there’s nobody who compares to you in this entire world. Will you marry me?” He opened the box, and I gasped.

I would know that pear-shaped diamond anywhere.

“That’s Mum’s ring,” I whispered, cupping my hands over my mouth. “How? Where?”

He smiled. “I had lunch with your dad and grandma about a month ago. I told them I wanted to ask you to marry me and asked for their blessing. They gave it, and with it, they handed me your mum’s ring and said they’d been keeping close, just in case. I saw it and knew it was perfect for you.”

Tears filled my eyes. “I love you so much.”

“I know you do, darling, but you still haven’t answered me, and there’s a stone cutting into my knee, so might you make a decision sooner rather than later?”.”

I laughed and cried at the same time, nodding my head. We both stood up together, and he pulled me into the biggest, tightest hug until I felt like I couldn’t breathe anymore.

And I didn’t care.

Because I had never been this happy in my entire life, and I couldn’t imagine how I ever would be again.

“Look at that,” William murmured into my ear. “I told you I’d marry you, didn’t I?”

“Oh, piss off.”

The End
