this—whatever this was.
He looked over at her parents and brother. “I’m going to ask something of Eve, and I hope you won’t have a problem with that.”
Eve frowned. “Lind, what the hell is going on?” she asked impatiently, unable to keep silent any longer. The suspense was killing her.
Lind took a deep breath. He moved, finally, but he didn’t stand up all the way. Instead, he went on one knee in front of Eve.
She looked down at him in utter disbelief. Her heart jumped to her throat and began to beat so loud that she could actually hear the blood pumping in her ears.
This couldn’t be…could it?
“Evelyn Anne Robinson,” Lind began. He fumbled around in his pocket, cursing when whatever he was looking for got stuck. “Shit,” he muttered. “Sorry.” He cleared his throat and finally presented her with a small jewelry box. He opened the lid and sure enough, inside was a thin white-gold band with one single square diamond on it. It was small, but it was the most beautiful thing Eve had ever seen. “Will you marry me?”
Eve stared at him, dumbfounded. Her head was spinning. “Are you serious?” she said, her voice choked.
Lind blinked. “Uh…that’s not…uh…that’s not really the reaction I was going for…”
Eve laughed happily, feeling like a fool and not caring one bit. My God, but he was serious! “Yes,” she said, heart slamming so hard against her ribcage she feared one of those ribs would crack. “Yes, I will marry you.”
Lind’s relief was palpable. He slipped the ring on her finger and Eve was not surprised to find that it fit perfectly. They fit perfectly. Lind fit her, plain and simple.
She threw herself down on her knees in front of him and kissed him passionately. He wrapped his good arm around her and pulled her close.
“You have made me so happy,” he said once they pulled back. His eyes were shining with unshed tears, which threw Eve almost more than the proposal itself.
She held him for a few moments, and then they both climbed back to their feet. Eve looked around at her family and found that her mother was blowing her nose noisily in a once-pristine white handkerchief, her father was looking at her with pride shining all over his face, and her brother had somehow acquired a bottle of champagne in the meanwhile.
Eve arched an eyebrow. “I take it that you’re all okay with this?”
“Oh, honey,” her mother said in a thick voice. “We’re more than okay.”
Embraces, handshakes, and congratulations were exchanged then.
“Hold that champagne for a moment, Junior,” Lind said, stopping her brother halfway through the process of uncorking the bottle. “There’s something else.”
Eve frowned. “What now? Are we pregnant?” she teased. “Relax, Mom, we’re not,” she said when she caught her mother’s expectant startle out of the corner of her eye.
“I was hoping you’d say yes,” Lind said. “I wasn’t sure, but I took the chance. There’s something waiting for you in the driveway.”
Eve’s frown deepened. “Really? Here?”
Lind nodded. “Sorry I took the liberty, sir,” he said to Eve’s father.
Harold was dismissing the apology with a wave of his hand even before Lind had finished the sentence. “Nonsense, son,” he said, and Eve saw Lind blink in surprise at the word.
“What are we still doing here?” Junior said excitedly. “Let’s go have a look.”
They did. Eve could not for the life of her imagine what it was that was waiting for her in her parents’ driveway. What she saw left her speechless. She halted right outside the gate and stared, dumbfounded.
Waiting for her in the driveway was a new, shiny Harley. It had been personalized with feathers, which Eve remembered mentioning to Lind once were her favorite ornaments.
Lind came up from behind her and leaned close to her to whisper in her ear so that she
