The kiss was perfect. All of this was just... here, in the airport, where they first met, the very first day they had ever even laid eyes on one another. It was amazing. It was great. It was... the way getting engaged should feel. She was shaking when she moved her hand out for him to put the ring on, laughing at herself because she was crying and had no way of wiping the tears from her cheeks with her hand out and the other holding onto Grace.
"No, don't... I'm not." She exhaled a breath. "I love you. And I know that I will always... I mean he's always going to be someone that I think about, I'm not..." She laughed and breathed again, trying to straighten up her thoughts. "You're the one, Tiger." She smiled, and Grace bounced some more on her hip and waved her arms. Cissy laughed. "I think that might be her way of giving you permission."
