“
You trapped Phat Thom for me.” My buzzy brain is puzzling something out. “You’re with a mighty hunter, babe. I keep tellin’ you.” He does. I turn to face him. He blinks, surprised, and angles himself to face me, too. He frowns. This isn’t the reaction he expected. To be honest, I never expected this either. I take his hands. He tilts his head. The sun glints off the fishhook on the brim of his hat. I smile. “Will you marry me?” I ask. “All it took was a freakin’ giant turkey?” he says. He scoops me into his arms, and twirls me and kisses me, whooping and hollering. Phat Thom is going nuts, flapping and squawking. I laugh and shriek, and Cash’s voice rings through the meadow as he says, “Yes, baby. Yes. No take backs.” And I know then I never will.
