This weeks theme is 'Our Sexy Romance', and the excerpt I am sharing is from one of my (many) unnamed WIP. It features Jenna and Lucas who are (in this excerpt) on their annual New Years getaway. Jenna has recently found out she is pregnant and this has caused her and Lucas to re-evaluate their lives and their relationship... including their ideas about marriage. Well, for Lucas anyway.
---------------------------------------------
“I love you,” Lucas
whispered, smiling softly at Jenna.
“I love you too,”
Jenna replied contently.
“I know things have
been hard for us at times, but I think the fact we are both sitting
here like this tonight shows how strong we are and how strong our
love is,” Lucas told her, his voice surprisingly full of conviction
and emotion.
“Things have been
amazing and things have been hard... but we've always had our love
and I think that is what has gotten us through,” Jenna agreed,
wondering what had caused Lucas to open up in such a way.
“All I know is that I
want to spend the rest of my life with you, raising our children,
enjoying our grandchildren and our great grandchildren... and I would
really love if you would marry me,” Lucas announced and moved his
hands out from underneath the blanket that was over them.
In his hands was a red
ring case which he opened and presented her with. Inside was a
gorgeous ring – the type she had always dreamed of – three
perfect round diamonds set in a plain white gold band; it was
beautiful and she probably couldn't have picked a more perfect ring
herself.
Really nice moment!!
