I do not own Passions.
Chapter 28- The Best Is Yet To Come
Theresa looked up at Fox, too astonished to say anything. She tried to read his face, to figure out if this was real.
"Well?" He asked her, getting a bit impatient. He wanted an answer, all she needed to say was one little three letter word, and he would be so happy. He had been a little taken aback when Kate had originally suggested proposing, but after thinking about it, he realized that this was something that he really wanted.
"Is this what I think it is?" She asked him, hoping desperately that it wasn't some joke he was playing on her.
"What do you think?"
"I think that this is either the worst joke ever, or..." Theresa trailed off; staring back down at the names on the document she was still holding. Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Foxworth Crane. That would be her new name, if he was being serious.
"Or what?"
"Is this for real?" She asked him, trying to figure him out.
Fox gave her one of his sly smiles. "Maybe this will help convince you." He said, pulling a tiny, blue velvet box out of his pocket. He handed it to her, and with trembling fingers, opened the lid to reveal a beautiful emerald cut diamond set in platinum. Her breathe caught in her throat as Fox removed the ring from the white satin padding that held it in place, ready to slip it on her finger. He stopped in mid air, still holding her left hand.
"Aren't you going to say anything?" He asked her, getting a little nervous. What if she said no? He pushed that thought out of his mind, and looked into her eyes.
Theresa looked up at him, and stood in front of him. Giving him a small smile, she whispered, "What do you think?" She stood on her tip toes, and brushed her lips against his lightly.
"Is that a yes, Theresa?" Fox asked expectantly, still holding her left hand, the ring in the other. She nodded in assent, and his heart leapt for joy as he placed the ring on her finger.
A few minutes ago, Theresa had thought that she couldn't be happier. But as Fox kissed her, she knew that the best was yet to come.
