Seal It With A Kiss (McClellan Trilogy) (23 page)

“No, I just had some other matters to take care of.” He said as he kneeled down on the floor next to her and kissed her on the forehead.

“Do you want to tell me about them?”

Brock picked up Holly’s hand and brought it to his lips. “Baby, I have been waiting too long for this. I fell in love with you so quickly—at first I didn’t even realize what it was that I felt, because I never felt it before. I was so scared when I thought I had lost you a few weeks ago and I don’t know how I would have made it. I want to spend every waking hour and every sleeping hour with you. Holly, will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?”

Holly smiled at Brock, “Did you ask my dad for his permission?”

“Yes.”

“Do you have a ring?”

“Oh shit.” He exclaimed as he pulled the ring box out of his pocket. “Yes!”

He opened the box and showed Holly the ring and asked again, “Holly, will you marry me?”

“Yes!” She exclaimed.

“I’d like to get married as soon as you are all healed up. Can you make it happen?”

“I was thinking a spring wedding myself. How about March?”

“If that is what you want, I will live with that.”

It was a small wedding with family and close friends in attendance. Holly made a beautiful bride, but the girl who stole the show was Hannah. She was an honorary flower girl and was pulled down the aisle in a wagon all decked out in wedding finery. The reception was much larger and included all of their co-workers.

Brock pulled Holly away from a group of people she was talking to at the reception and headed outside to a waiting limo. She quizzically looked up at him, “Where are we going?”

“To start the rest of our lives together, Mrs. McClellan.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I have always enjoyed reading fiction romance and knew that someday I wanted to try my hand at writing one of my own.  My family has always told me that I have an active imagination, so I figured that I could put that to good use.

I grew up in a small town in northern Illinois and met my husband through a blind date set up by my oldest sister.  We have two wonderful sons who also support me in my journey as an author.

During the summer months our family along with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law and their children show quality Belgian draft horses throughout the Midwest attending many local county fairs, State Fairs, our National Belgian show, and in 2012 for the first time ever, we attended the World Belgian show in Brandon Manitoba, Canada.
