  “I see.” She nodded and I saw her lip tense up. “Yeah, that makes sense. I figured you weren’t.”

  “I’m still testing you out. I’m not sure I’m ready to buy the whole package yet.” I pushed on her with my finger.

  “Wow, that makes me feel special.” She narrowed her eyes at me. “I was going to say no—”

  While she tried to rationalize my words, I reached under the covers and pulled out the ring box I had hidden there when I came to bed. Before her sentence left her lips, the box opened and a three-carat square cut diamond set in platinum sparkled. She moved her mouth as if she was talking, but no words came out. She looked at me and then back down at the diamond.

  “Now I’m asking you to marry me. If you say no, I’m going to close this box and I’ll never ask you again.” I pushed the box towards her.

  “Yes!” She leapt into my arms and started kissing me. “Let’s go tell Benjamin.”

  “Wait, I was hoping we could celebrate…” My cock was already pressing against the quilt.

  “We should celebrate with Benjamin!” She hopped off the bed and ran towards the door.

  “Not really the kind of celebration I had in mind—plus he’s in bed.” I heard him let out a cheer when she ran into his room and presumably told him the news.

  I rolled out of bed and headed towards his room to celebrate with them.

  Epilogue: Abby

  We decided to wait a while after we were engaged to actually get married. I was perfectly fine with the engagement, but I still wanted to find my place in his life. Everything happened so fast in a whirlwind of chaos that I wanted to let things blow over a little bit before we became husband and wife. Once things settled down, I had to sit down with my family and explain what happened—both at my job and with Max. They were understanding and supportive, which was more than I felt like I deserved. I also wanted to do something for the family of the boy that got sick. Even though everyone, including the courts that ruled against Energy Enhanced, put the blame solely on the company, I couldn’t stop beating myself up about it. Max agreed to help me establish a scholarship that would send someone from a family impacted by a defective product to college every year. I couldn’t rewind time and prevent it, but I could make one big impact on someone’s life every year as a testament to him.

  THE OTHER PART OF MY life that I wanted to get a handle on was the newly formed Martin-Grant Marketing Agency. I sat down with Mr. Hawthorne and told him I understood why he fired me. I really didn’t hold any ill will towards him for it and I even offered to let him stay on with the company if he wanted with the same salary. He decided that he wanted to pursue some other options, which I understood. Most of the team I worked with quit after the Energy Enhanced incident because they didn’t think the company could be saved. Nobody saw Max coming with his checkbook to buy the place, especially after it was hemorrhaging money with all of the capital put up to get the Energy Enhanced campaign ready. Once Max paid for all of that, the rest of the company was still turning a profit. I made the most of the job I was given, even if I didn’t technically earn it through promotion. I took a more active role in every campaign—something Mr. Hawthorne didn’t do very regularly. I also developed a guide for team leadership with some of the more experienced people at the company so we could ensure we had the right structure in place.

  “I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’RE getting married!” Mary-Katherine started adjusting my veil as she grinned from ear to ear.

  “Rolando needs to step up his game. I made it to the altar before you.” I smiled as I teased her.

  “I’m catching the bouquet, so when you see me out there, toss it my way.” She pointed towards the assortment of flowers I would carry down the aisle.

  “Did you see Benjamin when you were out there? I’m a little worried about him.” I peeked out the door, although I wasn’t able to leave with Max wandering around the church.

  “Yeah, he’s doing great. I think your idea of having multiple rehearsals so he could get to know everyone was a good plan.” Mary-Katherine nodded.

  “Hopefully the people we left off the guest list will understand. I always wanted to have a small wedding anyway.” I sat down and stretched my feet out as I prepared to shove them into my tight shoes.

  THE WEDDING WAS BEAUTIFUL. From the ceremony that was mostly just close family and friends, to Benjamin running around with the rings trying to give them as souvenirs to the few guests we had. After the ceremony, we dropped Benjamin off with Ms. Ruth so we could go on our honeymoon. Thankfully, she also agreed to take care of Sebastian. Sebastian and Benjamin had seemingly become best friends, so I think they were fine staying anywhere if they were together. Sebastian didn’t even bother to try to get in bed with us; he always slept curled up next to Benjamin. We only stayed gone a week, even though both of us could have used more time away. We were anxious to get back to our family, and a few months after our honeymoon, I was proud to tell Max he was going to be a father again.

  Mr. Mistake became my Mr. Right.
