"Lindsay,"
She barely glanced up from the paperwork that she had brought home from work to finish. "Hmm?" she replied distractedly.
"Marry me." He said it as a statement, not a question.
Lindsay's head snapped up to look at Danny, and she could see that he was holding a box with a gorgeous diamond ring in it. He eyes widened and filled with tears. "Are you serious?" she gasped.
He chuckled. "Of course I am. I never- "
"Say anything that you don't mean." Lindsay finished, as Danny took her hand and pulled her up so that she was facing him.
"I tried to come up with this big elaborate proposal and stuff, but I- "
Lindsay cut him off with a kiss. "No. This is perfect. This is just the way I want it to be between us. Nothing big and fancy, I don't even want a big wedding or anything, I just want you."
"I'll take that as a yes?"
"You'll take that as a definitely yes…. a yes you will marry me or I will kill you." She smiled wickedly.
Danny, unable to contain his joy, shouted, "YES!" and picked Lindsay up and twirled her around. After several minutes they both began to get dizzy, so he put her down and slid the ring onto her finger. "I love you," he said against her lips.
"I love you too, Danny."
He captured her lips in a kiss that felt like no other kiss she'd had before. It was true that Danny was a phenomenal kisser, but this topped all the rest. There was so much passion and joy that it made them both feel like entirely new people, almost as if they were one. This is where I want to be, Lindsay thought. Right here, in Danny's arms.
A/N Possibly my shortest one yet, but I thought you'd like this particular chapter. Up next is all the wedding preparation crap… I'm used to it because of my Numb3rs fic. Like half of the chapters are about weddings and stuff. Lol ok. That's it. Big stuff coming up next!
