Eyes wet, she smiled. “What banker? I don’t know any bankers.”

Unfastening the chain from around her neck, he set it aside. “It was not how I’d planned it. There was no music.”

“I hear music.”

“No soft words, no pretty light, no flowers.”

“There’s a moon. I still have the first rose you gave me.”

Touched, he kissed her hands. “I told you only what I wanted, not what I’d give. You have my heart, Sydney. As long as it beats. My life is your life.” He slipped the ring onto her finger. “Will you belong to me?”

She curled her fingers to keep the ring in place. “I already do.”
