Pepper and I didn’t make it to Florida. We’ve only made it as far as North Carolina. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Not only did I get a job serving at an amazing local pizzeria, Mercury Slice, but Nate is the best boyfriend in the world. I no longer have to hold out for a hero. I’ve found my Knight in Shining Armor.

Pepper saunters into the room with her head held eye. I spot something shiny stuck to her collar.

“What’s this on your collar, Pepper?” I lean down to get a closer look at the shiny object. Then I notice that it’s a diamond engagement ring.

I clap my hands to my mouth and spin around to see Nate kneeling on one knee behind me. His face is stretched in a broad grin.

“Will you marry me and make me the happiest man in the world?”

I throw my body on top of his, tackling him to the floor, and peppering him with kisses.

“Is that a yes?” he asks, chuckling.

“A thousand times, yes!”
