He pretended to frown. “Hmm, let’s see. How about a large plot of land, a huge wad of cash, and an architect to build us a house to live those sixty years in, with maybe a couple of kids thrown in if that's what you want?”
Her bliss-filled gasp made him laugh. “Really?”
He kissed her parted lips. “Really, but first we need to find a ring, a priest, get your grandmother on a plane, and find a killer wedding dress for you.”
Unable to resist, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him. “No need for a new dress. I’ve still got the last one.”
His eyes widened. “You kept it?”
She nodded. “As a reminder…of what I had and threw away.” The past cast its cold shadow over her happiness, but for only a moment. She was too happy, too thankful the love of her life was hers again, to let it linger.
“Hey,” he cupped her jaw and tilted her face to his. “No more sadness. We can get you a new dress if you want. Or you can wear the old one and keep it as a symbol of the love we found again. We can show it our grandkids when we’re old and decrepit.”
“I like that, so much better.” Another tear fell.
“Then stop crying and kiss me.”
She went into his arms and did as he asked. When she lifted her head, the love in his eyes blew her clean away. “I love you, Enzo. With everything inside my heart.”
“And I love you back, Lexi. I intend to spend the rest of my life proving it to you.”

Acknowledgements
As usual, my love and thanks goes to my husband, Tony, for his unwavering support and understanding when the crazy sets in. Also to Sally, for being the tremendously supportive pioneer who’s steered me true in my first attempt at self-publishing. You have my undying gratitude. Last, but not least to my wonderful kids, who will most definitely not see this acknowledgement until they’re at least fifty! Mummy loves you more than you will ever know!
