This was special, yes, and not just in an arbitrary way because this was the day that they got engaged, but because of what this all meant. Annie felt sort of like she did when one of them got hurt, except the intense need she felt to be close to Diego didn't stem from a place of fear and near-loss -- it came from the magnitude of the decision they'd just made together, and how dizzyingly in love with Diego she felt.

They could definitely wait to tell relatives and stuff tomorrow. Today was just for them.

She wriggled out of her own shirt, too, pushing it up over her head and wasting no time in reaching for Diego to splay her hands across his back. She needed to be close to him. Like, it might actually hurt to be apart right now.
