Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
I looked away and pouted.<\/p>\n
He made it sound like I was actually waiting for him to propose.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luis watched me with a smile. \u201cIf you don\u2019t want it, then we can just go straight to city hall.\u201d<\/p>\n
I got anxious. \u201cDon\u2019t<\/p>\n
you<\/p>\n
dare.\u201d<\/p>\n
The words had barely left my mouth when Luis let out a deep, warm laugh. His laughter echoed through the whole hospital room.<\/p>\n
I glared at him in embarrassment. \u201cLuis! You\u2019re doing that on purpose. I\u2019m not talking to you anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
He was still laughing as he wrapped an arm around me and pulled me into his chest. \u201cOkay, okay. My bad. Don\u2019t worry, you\u2019ll get everything\u2013the proposal, the ceremony, all of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
My anger faded, and I rubbed my cheek against his chest.<\/p>\n
Ever since dating Luis, I felt like I\u2019d become more emotional. I wasn\u2019t sure if that was good or bad.<\/p>\n
After a moment, his phone rang.<\/p>\n
He ruffled my hair and stepped outside to take the call.<\/p>\n
I leaned against the pillows and thought about what he said earlier\u2013about registering our marriage.<\/p>\n
To register, we needed a \u201cheritage scroll.\u201d<\/p>\n
Every werewolf had one. When a werewolf was born, a pack elder would record all their important information on that scroll.<\/p>\n
When Mistbane Pack took me back, they made one for me. Kathryn had been keeping it safe ever since.<\/p>\n
Just as I thought of her, Kathryn called.<\/p>\n

She was far away in Euron and didn\u2019t know I\u2019d been hurt.<\/p>\n
\u201cHi, Mom.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDeanna, how are things over there?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe company stuff is fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kathryn laughed. \u201cMariah can\u2019t wait to see you. She\u2019s been asking every day when you\u2019re coming.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mariah Hendricks\u2013my aunt.<\/p>\n
I pressed my lips together, ready to say something, when I saw Luis standing at the door.<\/p>\n
He stood with one hand in his pocket, tall and backlit by the hallway lights. His face was hard to see in the glow.<\/p>\n
Kathryn\u2019s voice pulled me back. \u201cDeanna?\u201d<\/p>\n
I snapped back to the moment.<\/p>\n
Right then, I wanted to tell him everything I hadn\u2019t said.<\/p>\n
So I curled my finger at him.<\/p>\n
Luis tilted his head but still walked toward me, slow and steady.<\/p>\n
As he reached me, I grabbed his hand tightly. Looking into his gem\u2013bright eyes, I said, \u201cMom, I\u2019ve decided not to go to Euron.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathryn gasped.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? Why so suddenly?\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis\u2019s gaze was hot on me, straight and powerful. I breathed in and said, \u201cI\u2019m staying.\u201d<\/p>\n
Right away, he squeezed my hand\u2013hard, like he couldn\u2019t help it.<\/p>\n
I continued, \u201cMom, can you mail me my heritage scroll?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathryn went quiet for a few seconds. Then she asked, \u201cWhat about the house in Euron?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you like the living there, you can stay whenever you want. We can go back and forth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then her voice softened. \u201cAre you sure\u2026 he\u2019s the one?\u201d<\/p>\n
Time felt slow. After a moment, I said with certainty, \u201cI\u2019m sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

I hung up and slowly lifted my gaze toward Luis. His eyes were blazing, and it made my cheeks grow warm. I thought about everything I\u2019d just said, and embarrassment crept up my neck.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2026 Just now\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t finish the sentence because Luis pulled me into a tight hug.<\/p>\n
He buried his face in the crook of my neck, his warm breath brushing my skin.<\/p>\n
My eyelashes trembled. \u201cLuis, there\u2019s something I never told you.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I first found out I was pregnant, I thought about moving to Euron. I was ready to raise the baby alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMm.\u201d<\/p>\n
His reply was low and muffled, and his arms tightened around me again.<\/p>\n
My throat tightened, so I paused before continuing.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut after that, you kept reaching for my hand. You kept caring about me. You never pushed me away. Little by little, that thought faded. I admit it, I don\u2019t want to leave you.\u201d<\/p>\n
I felt something damp against my neck. My own eyes warmed.<\/p>\n
This time, I finally dared to say it out loud.<\/p>\n
