He grinned and pulled out the ring box, lifting the lid and turning it toward her. “I love you, Sid. Always have and always will. I promise I’ll work every day to make you happy and be a better man, one you can be proud to call your husband. Would you do me the honor of marrying me and allowing me to spend the rest of my life with you?”

She didn’t even look at the ring. Her eyes were on him and filling with tears as distant sirens rang in the air. “Yes! I love you too, and I’ve never wanted anything more. You’ve always been in my heart, Brett, and that’s where you’ll always stay.”

He pulled her to him and kissed her, long and hard. When he finally pulled back, he said, “By the way, I got the loan I applied for so it looks like I’m going to be opening my own garage.”

She bounced in place. “That’s wonderful news. Congratulations! I’m so happy for you. I knew you could do it.”

“Well, I had a little help from you.”

“No, you deserve all the credit. You worked so hard for your dream, and it’s finally coming true. That’s the best thing ever.”

He tightened his grip around her waist. “No, you are. I’m going to make you happy, Sid. I can’t promise I’ll always be perfect, but—”

She put a finger over his lips. “Hush. You are perfect…for me.”
