The champagne flute is halfway to her lips when she notices the ring resting in the bottom of the glass. She gasps in surprise and looks across the table, but Chuck is no longer seated in his chair.
Instead, he’s kneeling by hers. “Blair,” he breathes, “I never realized how hollow my life was until you were there to fill it. Without you, I’m empty inside, a shell of a man. You make me whole. You once said I didn’t belong with anyone, but you were wrong. I belong with you. Will you marry me?”
She smiles through tears. “Yes.”
