She didn't answer right away...it was only a heartbeat, but the silence felt like years.
When she spoke, the 'yes' was all he heard...that and the 'I'll marry you.' Was there really anything else he had to hear?
She kissed him a moment later, and he kissed her back more reflexively than anything...this had to be what it was like to be so happy you could die. He couldn't move...couldn't speak, couldn't do anything...
Until he suddenly stood, hauling her up with him and scooping her into his arms, stepping back to avoid the coffee table (only just barely) and spin her around, whooping joyfully and laughing. He set her down on her feet quickly, drawing back to kiss her...*really* kiss her this time, feeling a new rush of fierce possessiveness as he held her close. His fiancee...his *fiancee.* God, that sounded good.
Drawing back, he took her hand in his and slid the ring onto her finger. "My mother always said if I ever found a girl that could wear this ring, I'd have found my soulmate. I gotta confess...I sorta pulled this out a while back and tried it on you while you were sleeping. I've been carrying it around ever since." He paused, looking down at the ring as it slid onto her finger...again, perfectly.
"Still fits like a dream." he breathed, meeting her gaze before pulling her in for a kiss again.
