She was sprawled out on their king sized bed just waking up from a nap, tilting her left hand this way and that. She had a permanent grin on her face as the round diamond with small pave diamonds around the band caught the light of the ceiling fan. She ran the back of her hand down her other arm, taking in the way the stone felt against her flesh.
She sighed in contentment, and heard him clear his voice in the doorway. "How long have you been standing there?" She was accusing him. "Long enough to fall in love with you even more." He moved her feet and sat down on the bed next to her. "I didn't think that was possible." She sat up and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Baby, neither did I." He kissed her and reached behind his head for her left hand. He pulled it around and broke off their kiss to admire the ring. "I did a very good job." She giggled. "You certainly did."
He kissed the stone and then laced their fingers together. "I like that I can feel it. It makes it feel real not like a dream." She just nodded and placed her head against his shoulder. "I like that too."
