“Thank you, but what’s the occasion?”
“Come with me and find out.”
He took hold of my hand and led me up the stairs to the rooftop. I gasped when I saw a round table draped in white linen with two matching chairs. A beautiful floral centerpiece made of red roses and white geraniums with a candle in the center graced the table. Red and pink rose petals were scattered over the rooftop, and soft music played in the background.
“What is all this?”
“Dinner.” A smile crossed his lips. “I may have told you a lie.”
“I’m already guessing you did.” I smirked.
“I hired a chef to cook us a special dinner tonight.”
“For?” My brow arched.
“To celebrate finding out the gender of our kid.”
“Okay.” I smiled as he pulled out the chair for me. “It’s a little elaborate. Don’t you think?”
“Nothing is too elaborate for you, Stella. Get used to it.” A smirk crossed his lips.
We were served a wonderful dinner with a delicious dessert to top it off.
“Oh my gosh, I’m so full.” I placed my hand on my belly.
“I hope not too full for a dance.” Miles smiled as he pulled a small remote from his pocket, and the song You Are The Reason by Calum Scott started to play.
Miles took my hand and helped me from my chair.
“I picked this song because every word of it represents how much I love you.”
“Oh, Miles.” Tears filled my eyes. “I love you, too.”
We danced and held each other close. I lay my head on his shoulder as contentment and peace flowed through me. Right when the song ended, Miles got down on one knee and pulled a small velvet box from his pocket. Placing my hand over my mouth, tears streamed in my eyes.
“Here we go again.” He smiled. “Stella, I know my first proposal to you was not romantic, even if it was a proposal at all. I wasn’t a very good husband the first time, but I hope you’ll give me a second chance to show you that I can be the best husband and man you deserve. I love you so much, sweetheart. I want to give you the world, my love, and my life. I didn’t want to go through with the annulment, but I had to because I knew I’d win you back and wanted us to start over. I know your first ring wasn’t anything special, and I hope this one makes up for it.” He flipped open the box. “Will you do the honor of marrying me and become Mrs. Miles Bradshaw for a second time?”
I gasped when I saw the four-carat, flawless cushion-cut diamond ring with a diamond-accented shank.
“Yes, Miles. I will marry you again.”
With a smile, he removed the ring and placed it on my left hand, bringing it to his lips. He stood up and placed his hands on each side of my face, wiping the tears with his thumbs as they fell down my cheeks.
“I love you so much, Stella.”
“I love you too.” Our lips met passionately.
“By the way. We’re not getting married in a courthouse this time. I want to make that very clear,” he said, placing his forehead against mine.
I laughed as the tears continued to fall. “It wasn’t that bad.”
“Yes, it was. You’re going to have the wedding of your dreams, sweetheart.”

“Are they all in there?” I asked Isla.
