TEMPEST DIDN’T ASK FOR MUCH. She didn’t need a grand gesture to prove he loved her. He had shown many times how much she meant to her. As high-maintenance as she seemed, she appreciated all his efforts. He was more than she could ever ask for. He and their children brought her happiness. “Even if you disappoint me now, it’ll be fine. You can make it up to me the next time. There will be more Christmas and holidays for us to come.” Her statement held hope for the future. She wasn’t a hopeful person. She feared the future but had faith in a future with Ash. He was the one for her. He was it. He was her endgame. “This better be worth it,” she threatened jokingly. She chuckled. The gift she received was more than worth it. It exceeded her expectations. "I’m gonna admit defeat and say you outsmarted me,” she quipped, watching him get down on his knee. Tears welled at the corner of her eyes. Immense joy filled her chest as she listened to his declaration. Her heart warmed up at his words. He was worth the wait. He was worth it. “And you–—you are the greatest thing I never knew I needed.” She lent him the box and held out her hand. “Yes. Yes, I’ll be your wife someday.” She nodded eagerly, her eyes lighting up and her lips curling into a smile. She loved him a lot. She couldn’t wait to have his children and be his wife. This was the most excited than she had ever been her whole life. She had never been sure of anything more than this.
