Scarred Beginnings (15 page)

Her eyes sparkled up at him.

“Are we going to announce it at the New Year’s Eve ball?”

David winked at her.

“Have to I’m afraid. My old commander is going to be here and his wife was rather expecting it…New frock, shoes, bag and even a hat for all I know…all very expensive. He’ll be a henpecked husband if we don’t. Can’t have that. Bad for company morale. Have a think about it while I go and speak to Ellen. You might as well set a date tonight as I’m never going to let you get out of it anyway.” He paused as he brushed her cheek with his fingertips. He gazed into her eyes. “I love you Geraldine, we have the rest of tonight and the whole of our lives. Wait for me here.”

David gave her a last
tender kiss then a quick squeeze before he walked out into the corridor.

He
marched along the hall, stood before Ellen’s door and knocked firmly, determined to make his sister pay for ruining the best Christmas present he had ever been about to receive in the whole of his life.

She opened it almost immediately and
stared at him furiously.

H
e gave a small, unapologetic smile as he entered her room with his head held high. Nothing was going to stop him now. He took a long stride forwards, ready to face his sister, ready to face the world, ready to face the rest of his life with the woman he loved at his side.
