    Dallas got to his feet. “OK, y’all. I want to get home to Olivia.”
    “How is she?” Jim said.
    “A bit better,” Dallas said. “More relaxed, now that the house has sold.”
    The guys nodded. They knew that Liv wanted to get that piece of property as far away from her as humanly possible, after all that had happened there.
    “That was one fast sale,” Chris said. “And over the holiday season? Did she accept a low-ball offer, just to be rid of it?”
    “No,” Dallas said. “She got full price… some businessman bought the house for his wife as a Christmas present.”
    Dean, Chris and Jim all blinked at that.
    “Some guy bought a house as a present?” Chris said. “Fuck, man. I bought my Mom a sweater.”
    “I know, right?” Dean said. “I bought Emma a trip to California, and I thought I was the ultimate romantic. Coughed up for room service and everything.”
    Dallas grinned. “I bought Olivia a ring.”
    The guys sat bolt upright, staring at Dallas.
    “You what ?” Dean said. “You fucking what ?”
    Dallas pulled on his coat, watching his friends’ faces with great amusement. “Yeah.”
    “Like, a ring ring?” Jim said. “Like… the real deal? Engagement? Promise to marry? Bind your lives together forever and all that?”
    “Yeah.”
    “And?” Chris asked. “What did she say?”
    “Oh, I haven’t given it to her yet,” Dallas said. “I’m still hanging on to it.”
    “For the love of God, why ?” Dean said, aghast.
    “She’s not ready,” Dallas said. “I saw the perfect ring, though, and I just bought it, so I have it when she is ready.”
    “My God, man,” Chris said. “ Why did you tell us this? Now we have to keep our mouths shut, and all I want to do is tell Jenny.”
    “Yeah, and I want to tell Emma.” Dean shook his head. “Damn you, Foreman.”
    “Well, the thing is that I’ve been dying to tell someone ,” Dallas said sheepishly. “It’s been kinda killing me, actually.”
    “You got it on you?” Chris said suddenly. “The ring?”
    “Yeah, always. I never let it out of my sight.” He reached in to his inside coat pocket. “You want to see it?”
    “I know I sound like a chick, but hell yeah , I want to see it,” Jim said.
    Dallas opened the small box and the three men gathered around him to peer in at the ring.
    “It’s beautiful man,” Dean said. “Liv’s going to love it.”
    “You think?” Dallas sounded nervous. “You don’t think she’d prefer something more traditional?”
    They looked at him.
    “What the fuck does that even mean ?” Jim said.
    “Like… more typical. I mean, I love the sapphire and diamonds, but maybe she’d want the big old diamond, you know?”
    They stared at him.
    “What the fuck’s a sapphire?” Jim said. “That blue stone in the middle?”
    “Yeah.”
    “It’s perfect, man,” Chris said gently. “I’ve seen Liv wearing sapphire earrings before and they looked amazing against her hair. I know she loves them. It was a good choice.”
    Dallas relaxed. “You think?”
    “Yeah.”
    He snapped the box shut again and tucked it carefully in to his coat pocket. “Well, I like it. It just looks like her, you know?”
    Dean’s face suddenly split in to a grin. “I’m really happy for you, man.” He embraced Dallas, and then gave him a punch in the shoulder. “When Liv is ready, you ask her. I bet she’ll say yes.”
    “For sure she will,” Jim said. “You two are good together… give her a bit more time, then make your move.”
    “Almost engaged to Olivia Jameson!” Chris said. “Would you have believed it a year ago?”
    “Nope.” Dallas grinned. “No fucking way.”
    “Just goes to show you,” Dean said. “You never know what life has in store for you, huh?”
    “Yeah,” Dallas agreed. “What, and who.”

    “So Chris said yes.” Olivia Jameson brushed her long auburn hair back from her beautiful face. “And he’s moving in here tomorrow?”
    “Yeah,” Jenny said
