to get dark, but it couldn’t compare to how much my heart was glowing from all the love and happiness. And though this vacation wasn’t over, I was looking forward to our trip to Kauai together, and many more to come.
After we entered, I closed the door, locked it. I changed into my swim trunks, giving the kids enough time to change, and headed for the pool with Connor’s lightsaber. “Max Vader is coming! May the Knight force be with you!” I hollered. I could hear the laughter and the splashing sounds from the children.
After pool time, we had dinner, and read bedtime stories. The children were tucked in bed while the adults went to the family room to enjoy each other’s company by the fireplace. We drank hot teas and ate cookies while we talked about the events of the past year.
“Well, I have to say, this year’s Christmas was definitely something great,” Jenna said, sipping her tea.
“I agree,” Becky said. “It was something wonderful for sure.”
Matthew leaned back into the sofa and took a bite of his chocolate chip cookie. “Those precious memories will be something to treasure forever.”
I swallowed the chunk I’d bitten off and drank my tea. “It will be something amazing to remember when we reminisce about the years passed.”
“Yeah,” Jenna agreed, gazing at me. “Something precious for sure.”
I gave her a smile. With a soft kiss on her lips, I said, “I’ve searched a lifetime for you. I’m lucky to have found my something great.”
Jenna’s eyes lit up and so did her smile. Leaning her head against my shoulder, she snuggled closer. And all was right with the land of the Knights. Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night. After all, ‘Twas the Knight before Christmas.

Tonight was the night. The night my whole life would change. It had only taken me a week to prepare, but I knew what I was doing—what I wanted. Most women planned their weddings when they were little girls. Most men delayed them as long as they could—more like avoided them like the plague, but I had planned my proposal from the second I first saw her.
The proposal would be simple but romantic. I had gotten the idea for a perfect spot when I ran into my landlord. We had started talking. I’d told her what I was planning, and she told me about the roof. No one was allowed to go up there, but she would make an exception for me. Well, more like my smile and my charm got me the roof.
As I sat on the rooftop, I listened to the love songs I had picked out for that evening. Ed Sheeran was Olivia’s favorite singer, so I made sure to include his music. Below, I could see the amazing city lights of downtown Los Angeles. All the hues of blue, red, and yellow popped out at me, and I was mesmerized by them. I couldn’t help being excited about the proposal. It made that night even more exhilarating.
I’d strung white mini lights around a couple of small trees and along the border of the brick walls that gave enough protection so we wouldn’t fall off the ledge. Thank God the entire area wasn’t that big, but big enough for what I needed to do. With the glowing battery candles everywhere I looked, it was perfect…enchanting even. She was going to love it. It was even better than I’d imagined it would turn out. Toward the back, I had placed a table and chairs for two. The food had already been arranged on the table that was covered with black linen. All I needed was Olivia.
I jumped when I felt my phone vibrate, and took it out of my back pocket to check my texts.
Olivia : I’m coming up.
Me: You have to knock.
Olivia: Okay. We need to talk!
Me: OK.
Olivia: Why did you tell me to dress up? Why am I going to the roof?
Me: To save me. I’m locked out.
Olivia: Haha. Not funny.
Me: I guess you’ll have to wait and see.
