~Grace~
“Close your eyes,” Alex whispered into my ear, his breath warm against my cool skin. I shivered.
He held me by my waist as we stood face-to-face in his bedroom. My eyes fluttered close.
What did he have in mind?
I felt his hands slip away from my body, and I heard him walk somewhere in the room, away from me. I listened hard, trying to figure out what he was doing, but I kept my eyes shut.
After a moment, I heard him walk back, and I felt his hand take mine.
“Grace,” he said, his voice soft. I scrunched my brows together. I wanted to know what he was up to.
“Open your eyes,” he continued, and I did.
Before me, Alex knelt on one knee. In his hand was the wedding ring I never got to put on.
What was this?
I had to laugh. I didn’t mean to, it just surprised me.
