Page 113 of The Gift

Hannah nodded. “I’m absolutely, positively, sure. I want to spend the rest of my life showing you how much I love you.”

With trembling hands, Brett opened the box. “I chose this ring because it reminds me of the shooting stars I used to look for when I was younger. I thought my wishes had come true when I met Pat and Ida. But that was only part of the magic. You’ve made my life complete. I can’t imagine living without you.”

Hannah touched the solitaire diamond. “It’s beautiful,” she whispered.

He took the ring out of the box and slipped it onto her finger. “I love you.”

Hannah wrapped her arms around his shoulders and hugged him close. “I love you, too.”

Brett held onto her. He loved Hannah more than he could ever have imagined loving anyone. She was his beginning, middle, and end, and the greatest gift he could ever have found.
