She tears up. “That is really special.” She glances up at me. “And my gift isn’t so good anymore. It’s like groceries.”
“The only gift I need is you saying yes.” I take the ring out of the box and slide it on her finger. “It’s perfect.”
I scoop her up and carry her to our bedroom, where the ring is the only thing I leave on her. A long time later we lay facing each other, relaxed and dozing in and out of sleep, when she murmurs, “My gift is like underwear. Yours is perfect.”
I chuckle over the way she’s fretting because I meant what I told her. She’s perfect. She’s my gift this Christmas. She’s my light in a year of darkness.
