“But.” She tried again.

“You can’t hide from me Cassie. I already told you. I can hear you. And I am not about to let you retreat into the shadows to fool yourself into believing that you are invisible.” Luke told her tenderly as he looked down at her face and ran his fingers through her hair. “I love you, so put me out of my misery. Will you marry me?”

“Yes I will marry you.” She said.

“Spring or summer?”

“Um…” Luke dipped his head so that he could kiss along her cheek to find her earlobe. She couldn’t concentrate with the feel of Luke’s lips on her skin. It was driving out all thoughts from her head. “Late spring.” She managed.

“Perfect.”

“Yes this is.” Cassie agreed as Luke came back to her lips.

“No, you are perfect my beautiful Cassie.”

Amanda: When I came back home after ten years away I had managed to convince myself that anything I once felt for Jake Michelson was long gone. That was until I bumped into him again and I realised that I was wrong. Worse than that the man won’t leave me alone. He really needs to move on and get over it. Not that there is anything to get over,
not then, not now, not ever.

Jake: I spent years trying to find Amanda, who would have thought I would have just bumped into her like that. Now that I have I am not letting her go again. She will face up to the fact that she loves me. That she has always loved me and that she always will love me. She is mine, she has always been mine.
