Thanks be to Ms. EBT.
Ben's been quiet since we left the church.
It's not until we're parked at the cemetery that he says something.
"Marry me."
I'm confused, because we're already engaged.
"Let's pick a date. Let's make it soon."
"Hey," I say, cupping his face. "What's wrong?"
"Edward's gone. Just like that. He hadn't really lived, yet. No wife, no kids. Every time I think about that, it scares me. Because I love you so much that it hurts. I can't think about not being with you for the rest of my life. I wanna marry you, have kids that look like you. So, let's not wait anymore."
How did I get so lucky?
I lean over and kiss him.
"Okay," I smile.
