I should go, " I said thickly. "Let me know when you want to start practice again. And thanks for..talking." I started to turn; then I heard him say abruptly, "No."I glanced back. "What?"He held my gaze, and something warm and wonderful and powerful shot between us." No, " he repeated. "I told her no."" I.." I shut my mouth before my jaw hit the floor. "But..why? That was a once-in-a-lifetime thing. You could have had a baby. And she..she was, you know, into you.." The ghost of a smile flickered on his face. "Yes, she was. Is. And that's why I had to say no.

About This Quote

I should go. I really need to go. But before I leave, I'd like to say one thing and give you something."I nodded and found myself suddenly at a loss for words. The only thing I could think of was: He's going to propose, isn't he?He stepped toward me and reached into his pocket.

"I wanted to give you this before I left." He pulled out a small black velvet box and handed it to me.I took the box from him and opened it slowly, my fingers shaking."You're free to keep it," he said quietly. "Keep the ring. Use it as a reminder of what your life can be if you want it enough."I smiled up at him through a blur of tears, my heart aching with the lump in my throat."You have everything you need," he whispered.

"And so do I. But...it's not enough unless you have me.""Are you asking me to marry you?""No.""But...""I'm trying to tell you that I'm already yours.""You are?""Yes, but that doesn't mean we have to get married.""But—"He put his finger on my lips—"The ring stays with me until you're ready for it.""You're never going to want anyone else," I whispered as the tears fell down my face."What makes you say that?""Because...because there's no one else.""You don't know that for sure.""Yes, I do.""Then why...why..." He stopped talking as a tear dropped on his hand and slowly ran down his fingers.
