I held onto Eddie, my arms tight around his waist, my face pressed into his neck as I laughed and whispered, "I love you."

Then he was pulling back, his hand in my face and I said, still laughing, "Stop waving it around, I only have one hand to work with here." But I put the curve of my hook gently under his palm, holding his hand still as I slid the ring onto his ring finger.

I was definitely relieved when it actually fit.
