breathe again.
He slipped his hand into his pocket just to feel the ring box. He had picked up the ring from the jeweler’s the day before; it was the same ring but now the outside of the band was inscribed. It read, to the woman who has always been in my heart .
Today was the day he was going to propose, and if she accepted, he hoped they could marry on New Year’s. It seemed appropriate considering how that day had brought them together twice.
“Scott…” Liz stood in the doorway, her own coffee mug in hand. “What’s on your mind?”
He turned to her and smirked. “You.” J.R. came to stand beside her. At one time the dog had been indifferent to her, now he’d become her constant companion. It was nice to see that J.R. had taken to her that easily.
“I hope they’re good thoughts.”
He sat the mug on the railing and decided now was as good a time as any, with the Eiffel Tower in the background. He pulled the box from his pocket and knelt before her. “Liz, we tried this before and got it all wrong, but you’ve always been the only one for me. Would you do me the honor of being my wife?”
Tears spilled down her face. “Yes.” He slipped the ring on her finger and she sank down onto her knees in front of him, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. “I love you.”
“As I love you for now…and always.” He leaned forward and claimed her lips with a deep kiss. They’d finally made it.
Marissa Dobson
Born and raised in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, Marissa Dobson now resides about an hour from Washington, D.C. She’s a lady who likes to keep busy, and is always busy doing something. With two different college degrees, she believes you’re never done learning.
Being the first daughter to an avid reader, this gave her the advantage of learning to read at a young age. Since learning to read she has always had her nose in a book. It wasn't until she was a teenager that she started writing down the stories she came up with.
Marissa is blessed with a wonderful supportive husband, Thomas. He’s her other half and allows her to stay home and pursue her writing. He puts up with all her quirks and listens to her brainstorm in the middle of the night.
Her writing buddies Max (a cocker spaniel) and Dawne (a beagle mix) are always around to listen to her bounce ideas off them. They might not be able to answer, but they are helpful in their own ways.
