The melody in our hearts (32 page)

She felt tears well up in her eyes and she tried to fight them back, not wanting to spoil the moment. He looked up at her with the most beautiful smile and the sexiest look she had ever seen on his face and, as he took the ring out of the muffin and put it on her wedding finger, he whispered, “Will you marry me, Doctor Fogarty?”

She smiled, while tears were running down her cheeks, and she nodded.

“You can bet I will, Mr. Wyler!” she whispered, her voice cracking.

She stood up and knelt down in front of him, then she hugged him and, while he held her in his arms and kissed her all over her face, she smiled, thinking that their grandfathers were probably celebrating up there in Heaven.

The end.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

An avid reader since her childhood years and being an only child, Roberta always enjoyed the company of her fictional friends from the children’s books she loved reading, while she dreamed of writing her own stories one day.

It was when she discovered novels by authors Rosamunde Pilcher and Maeve Binchy in her teenage years that she realized it was time she put down in words the stories she had kept well hidden in her mind until then.

What started as a hobby, soon turned into a real passion and a way of life, until she could no longer keep the stories to herself, and decided to get over her fears and share them with the world.

Roberta lives in Italy, but her dream is to move out of her country and live either in a thatched cottage in the Irish countryside or in a country house with a swing on the back porch, somewhere in the United States, where she would love to spend her days writing novels as a full-time job, and maybe one day even get as far as writing a screenplay for a movie.

She is already working on a second novel, while jotting down ideas for more as they pop into her mind.
