Spring break was almost done Chase and Lyla spent most of their time tending to Jaden who sustained a large concussion.

 

They played card games or cozied up in the bedroom.

 

The day before they headed back to school Chase pulled Lyla into the bedroom, pulled out a box and handed it to her.

 

When she opened the box, a ruby ring in the shape of a heart with two small diamonds on either side was winking at her.

 

Lyla gasped in surprise.

              

“Since ours are basically tattoos, I wanted you to have a ring from me.

 

For us.”

 

Chase slipped it on her finger.

Lyla threw her arms around Chase’s neck and kissed him.

 

When they finally pulled away Chase smiled.

 

“So I guess you like it?”

“Like it?

 

I love it!

 

It’s so beautiful, Chase.”

Chase gave her a warm smile.

 

A knock came at the door.

 

“Yes?”

“Come on out for dinner.”

Lyla started for the door but Chase pulled her back.

 

He placed a hand behind her neck and pulled her up to his mouth.

“I love you Lyla.

 

No matter what we’re up against, I love you.”

“I love you too Chase.

 

I’m also hungry.”

Chase laughed.

 

“Okay, food time.”
