Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 840

"I plan to hold the wedding in Nouburgh. You've always loved that place. Everything's already in the works. I wanted it to be a surprise. I'm setting up the venue, and I'm sure you'll like it. Even if you don't, that's okay. I'll change it however you want. Will you marry me? I know we're already married, but I still get nervous.

"Ari, let's just spend the rest of our lives like this, okay?

"Ariel, I want to hear you say 'I do' yourself. Please?"

Video after video played, so many that no one could count them all. Hundreds of clips, none saying "I love you" directly, yet every line was filled with love.

From long before they were even together, Jayson had recorded everything he felt—the good, the bad, the bittersweet, and the painful—all about Ariel.

The video went on for over half an hour, and everyone in the hall was completely absorbed.

In their first year of marriage, he quietly filmed proposal after proposal, waiting for the day Ariel would choose him on her own without being pushed by anyone.

He wanted her to marry him, not out of pressure, but simply because she wanted to.

Then, suddenly, the scene shifted.

The solo clips of Jayson gave way to Ariel's beautiful face. She smiled brightly in her wedding dress. The footage trembled slightly as the car moved, but her voice was clear.

"I do!"

Her voice carried warmth and a smile, filled with emotion.

It felt like the Ariel of today had finally understood the Jayson from years ago and was giving him the answer he had been waiting for all along.
