you saw it? So it’s not how you see it now?’

      Charlie looked at her and shook his head. ‘It’s not how I want to see it any more and being with you I know that’s possible.’

      ‘What’s changed?’ she asked, not daring to hope that he wanted her. And was ready to build a life with her. And with her daughter. The three of them as a family.

      ‘I know that hurting you won’t bring my wife back. Nothing can. I realised that as I’ve slept alone in my bed for the last two nights wanting you beside me. Wanting to feel your tenderness and love again. Being near you brought my spirit back and being with you and making love to you made me feel more alive than I thought possible. I won’t let you go without a fight. I know that spending the rest of my life regretting the moment my wife and I climbed in that car two years ago won’t change anything. I will still have a place in my heart for the woman I loved back then, but I don’t want to lose the two special women who have come into my life now. I want to live in the present and build a future and I want to do it with you. I want you, Juliet, now and for ever if you’ll have me, and I want to be the father that Bea needs. If you’ll let me.’

      ‘I never wanted to fight you on that. I just wanted to love you,’ she told him with tears welling in her eyes.

      ‘I know that, Juliet, and I’m sorry. The fight was never with you, the fight was with myself and my stupidity, my need to carry the guilt like a cross and my need to punish myself to make amends. I don’t want to do that any more. In the week since we met, I have been questioning everything that’s been my life, my reality for the last two years. You and Bea have made me want more. You’ve made me want a life that’s free of remorse and sad memories. You’ve brought a light back that I never thought I would see again and warmth that I never thought I would feel. I don’t want to live in the cold or the dark any more. I want to really live again. To have you by my side for the rest of my life.’

      ‘What are you saying?’

      ‘Juliet,’ he said, dropping to one knee and wrapping her hand into the strength and warmth of his, ‘I’m asking you to be my wife. To love me the way you did the other night. To share your life and to bring life back into my home and make me want to sleep in our four-poster bed and make love to you every night. Will you? Will you make me the man I want to be and the man I can be if you’ll allow me?’

      ‘Yes,’ she answered with tears freely flowing down her face as she fell into his arms and kissed him as if there would be no tomorrow. ‘Yes, of course I’ll marry you. I love you, Charlie Warren.’

      ‘And I will love you for ever, Juliet...and spend the rest of my life decorating Christmas trees with Bea...and the rest of our children.’
