BONUS SCENE
ELISA EMITS A GLEEFUL squeal as our town car pulls up in front of the Ritz Paris. “Oh my god.” Her gaze bounces between me and the iconic hotel. “I can’t believe this is happening.”
I haven’t specifically told her we’re in Paris for her birthday weekend so I can propose, but she doesn’t need the verification to know it’s the truth. “Happy birthday, my love,” I say before leaning in to kiss her soft lips.
