"We'll tell them in the morning," he said with conviction. "And in the afternoon, we'll get the papers. This is what I want, Helen. This is the next step for us."
His gaze softened, and in that moment, all the hesitation she had vanished. She was ready. Ready for him, for them, and for everything they could build together.
