Sarah held her breath as she waited for George’s reaction.

As he read the sign out loud, it slowly seemed to dawn on him. ‘I can’t believe this. “Mr and Mrs Neerly New Shop.” Is … is that you and me?’ he asked, sounding unconvinced.

‘Yes, George, if you’ll still have me.’

‘But … but I don’t get it.’

‘When you told me again that you loved me, I realised that I love you too. So, George Neerly, will you marry me?’

George threw his arms around her and she felt herself being lifted off the ground as he swung her around and kissed her hard on the lips. ‘Of course I will, you amazing woman! You’ve just made me the happiest man on this planet,’ he said as he lowered her back to her feet. ‘Did you hear that, Mum? Have you seen that sign? I’m getting married!’

Lena nodded, hardly able to speak through her tears. ‘I’m so happy for you both, but as this means Albert and I will have to put off our travels until you tie the knot, don’t leave it for too long.’

‘We won’t,’ Sarah said, and seeing the love for her in George’s eyes, she knew she’d made the right decision. Since Tommy’s death, she hadn’t expected to feel happy again, but she felt a surge of happiness now. Though the pain of her loss would never leave her, she now knew there was room in her heart for joy too. ‘I love you, George Neerly,’ she said, ‘and I can’t wait to be your wife.’
