xactly one year
from that first night at the Drunken Duck, Will and Georgia celebrated their anniversary with drinks on the patio with their friends and family. It was a warm summer night on the lake and Georgia was surrounded by the most important people in her life.

Their group was loud and boisterous, and everyone was talking over everyone else. Until the moment Will got down on one knee and a hush fell over the entire crowd.

Eyes filling with tears, she fought them back. She would not be a sobbing mess right now. But damn if they didn't start to fall.

Will smiled up at her, flashing the dimple she loved so much, while he wiped her tears with the flat of his thumb. "Georgia, a year ago I knew the moment we met that you were 'that girl'. The girl with the best smile and the kindest eyes, the one who makes me want to be everything she's looking for. Let me spend the rest of my life being that guy. Will you marry me?"

Jesus, this guy. Through her tears she finally whispered, "Yes." Georgia knew this was
that
moment. The moment she'd look back on and remember how that one night stand became forever.
