“No, I don’t need that,” I tell him, and he shakes his head.
“You deserve them. You’re the most beautiful woman that I’ve ever seen. You make me smile and laugh, something that I’ve rarely done in my life. You bring me out of my shell and make me a better man. You make me want to write sonnets or paint you, but I know that I’d be crap at both of those things. I’d still try, though. I’d do anything for you.”
“Yes,” I whisper, and he blinks.
“Yes, what?”
“Yes, I’ll marry you.”
He slides the ring onto my finger in a rush, and then I’m in his arms.
“I love you, Vera.”
“I love you too, Fisher,” I tell him, grinning up at him.
“We have a lot to do,” he tells me, and I laugh.
“Like what?”
“Plan a whole wedding.”
“We can figure that out later, though, right?”
“Sure. What did you want to do now?” He asks, and I grin.
“Oh, I’ve got a few ideas.”
He smiles as I stand on my tiptoes and kiss him. Then we both smile as I take his hand and lead him back to the four-wheeler and drive to the house.
I know that we have a lot to discuss and figure out still. We need to figure out where we’ll live and then all of the whole wedding stuff, but we have time, and I know it will all work out. Fisher will make sure of that.
I never thought t I would fall for the billionaire when he came to town, but I did, and I think that it’s going to be the best thing I’ve ever done.
I smile to myself as I take Fisher’s hand and lead him to bed.

Five Years Later…
“They’re our friends,” Vera tells our son, Owen, as we all watch the wolves. “But they’re still animals, and we need to be mindful of that. We need to respect them and listen to them the same way we would each other.”
He nods, watching as the wolves run around together out in the field. Owen is transfixed, and I smile at my wife over his head.
“We should get going soon,” I tell her, and she nods.
“Ready to head back, Owen?” Vera asks him, and he shakes his head.
“No! I want to stay here.”
“You’re supposed to be heading over to Aunt Cameron’s place to have a play date with—” She explains, but Owen cuts her off as soon as he hears play.
I laugh, scooping up our son as Vera stands. We start to walk back down the path to the house.
We got married a week after we said I love you, in a small ceremony here at the wolf sanctuary. It was a great day, the best. Vera had some of her friends from town there, and I invited Bishop and his wife, Alba, to come down from Clearwater. It was great to see and introduce him to my Vera. We’ve been meeting up at least once a month ever since and it’s been awesome to get to see my best friend so much.
I moved in with Vera officially after the wedding. It took a few months for us to go through her parents’ things, and then we started renovating the place. Vera said the renovations helped with her grief and made this place feel more like ours instead of just her childhood home.
