of liked it. When I saw Molly was at the hotel, I knew the baby wasn’t mine and it threw me a bit. I felt sad and, quite honestly, I felt betrayed. I didn’t mean to take it out on you.” Harvey wrapped his arms around her.
Alex went limp with relief in Harvey’s arms. “So we’re good?”
“ Yes. Better than that, we’re great. I'm never going to let anything keep you away from me again. ”
“ What about the money Molly’s dad let you borrow?” Alex asked.
“ Taken care of. We talked to him today. Molly’s dad didn’t approve of Greg and she was afraid he was going to cut her off if he found out not only was she seeing Greg, but she was pregnant with his child.”
“ So she did trick you?” Alex asked. The joy and relief she was reveling in was replaced by anger. “I'm going to give her a piece of my mind.”
“ Don’t be too hard on Molly. She was scared and desperate.” Harvey stroked her hair as he spoke.
“ It was also hard on you and me. Everything all worked out okay, I guess. Everyone ended up with the right person.” Alex kissed Harvey.
“ We did indeed.”

Six Months Later …
Alex looked around the dressing table in front of her, making sure she had picked up all her make-up and hair accessories. She stood to leave. This was her last show before taking a hiatus from her modeling career. Harvey would be arriving soon to take her home.
She left the dressing room and w aited outside for him, wishing she’d brought a jacket. It was cold for late March.
Her heart skipped a beat when Harvey drove up. When he climbed out his car, he was carrying his old letterman’s jacket. The blue had faded and the white leather sleeves were cracked with age…even the "C" had yellowed a bit.
“ How did you know I was going to need that?” Alex asked, taking the jacket and pulling it around her. She smiled and kissed him.
“ You always seem to need a jacket. For such a smoking hot babe, you sure do get cold easy.” He laughed.
“ In this one jacket I have just about everything I need to be the perfect bride. It’s something old, something borrowed, and something blue. I just need something new.”
“ Check the pockets. Maybe there’s some change and you can find a shiny new penny.”
Alex reached into the pockets. “No change. Just this…” She pulled out a tiny box. “Harvey Mitchell, is this…” She opened the box.
Harvey w ent down on his knee in front of her. “Alex Dodson, I have loved you for as long as I can remember. My life is not complete without you. I never want to be separated from you again. Will you marry me?”
Alex couldn’t speak . She nodded and threw herself into his arms. After all the years of being the bride, she finally had her groom.
