“I need a vacation.”

“I think we should extend our trip to San Francisco. Where else do you want to go?”

Arianna closed her eyes and opened them slowly. She could see him more clearly now. “Back to New York as newlyweds.”

His mouth had dropped open and then formed into that sexy smile she’d fallen in love with.

“Newlyweds?”

“When you give me that ring back, it better come with an offer to change my name.”

“You’re sure?”

She nodded and blinked her eyes with heavy lids. When she opened them again, he was smiling wide.

“I’ll take that deal.”

She smiled. “I guess my days being center stage are over. No one wants an actress with a huge scar across her cheek.”

John leaned in and kissed her forehead. “You’ll always be my star, and our life together will be your center stage.”
