Chapter 15 - The Unbroken Bond
Damon placed Lily down gently, wrapping his arm around Clara's waist as she reached his side.
He pulled a small velvet box from his pocket, opening it to reveal a custom-designed diamond ring featuring a central hazel gem surrounded by brilliant white diamonds.
"Four years ago, darkness took you away from me," Damon said, looking into Clara's tear-filled eyes with eternal devotion. "Today, in front of our daughter, I promise that no force on earth will ever separate us again. Will you marry me, Clara?"
"Yes! A thousand times yes!" Clara cried out, slipping the ring onto her finger and throwing her arms around his neck in a deep, loving kiss.
Lily squeezed herself between them, taking both of their hands in her small palms and uncurling their fingers so all three of their hands rested together.
"No more mad faces, Daddy," Lily giggled happily.
