Tara laughed and barely caught herself on his shoulder as he nearly stumbled backwards, and she smiled against his lips. He'd caught her hand and slipped the ring onto her finger, and she pulled back steady herself before she actually looked at it. She sucked in a breath, her eyes widening. She liked it - she'd liked the other one that she'd stopped wearing, too, but this one...
"It's perfect," she said with barely a breath, and she honestly meant it. She'd stopped wearing a lot of things when he'd been in the hospital - the bandage on her hand (except when doing rounds, so she wouldn't illicit questions from patients), her wedding and engagement rings. They were relics from the past, and this.... this was new. And it was right. "It's beautiful, Jax." She leaned up for another kiss, this one less giddy and more heartfelt.
Her forehead pressed against his as she closed her eyes for a moment, then she exhaled slowly. "I never thought this would even be possible," she murmured. "Who ever gets this chance?" She finally opened her eyes, and they searched his. "I have loved you since I was fifteen years old, and I am so incredibly lucky that you are the man you've become. You know that, right?"
