Chapter 32

Slipping off the bar stool,Dana came into the kitchen to step up behind her lover’s chair.She leaned down over Bethany and wrapped her arms around.With a tight hug,she kissed Bethany’s temple and said,“Yes,I got you.I got the life I wanted,this one,here,and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.I don’t care if you want to call yourself my girlfriend,or lover,or wife,or some term of endearment not even thought up yet,but you’re my everything,and nothing,nothing,will change that.”

Bethany patted Dana’s arm where it rested around her neck.“I love you so much.It’s just that…I know you don’t care one way or the other,but I’ve just always wanted to get married,that’s all.”

“I thought you said you wanted to do it only to make your mother accept me,”Dana said.

She felt Bethany shrug under her.“At this point,I don’t care if she does or not.I want to do it for us.For me.”
