Chapter 3
The attached pic is Annabeth's ring. I actually have that ring in real life but was too lazy to go and get it to take a picture of it. Just kidding, it was at home and I was at dance writing this in between classes sooooooo yeah.Florence Deander
My husband of 53 years, John, and I were taking a short walk down a path by the beach in Long Island. We were visiting my sister, Lisa. It was around 8:30 at night, but it was summer, so there was an amazing sunset. It was pretty warm out, for June.
John had gotten ankle surgery recently, so we couldn't take a long walk. God, I was so lucky to have him. After 53 years of marriage we still love each other just as much as the day we got married. I thanked god for him every night. Also for our beautiful children. Thomas, Diane and Nadia.
I saw the silhouettes of two people walking on the sand, holding hands. They stopped and the man turned to face the woman. He took both her hands in his and started to talk to her. I motioned to John and we walked closer to listen. This is what I heard.
"Annabeth, I've been thinking and thinking, I know, weird for a Seaweed Brain like me, about how to do this. So, if I'm such a Seaweed Brain, then I think I need a Wise Girl to keep me on track. For the rest of my life."
He knelt down on one knee and brought seething out from his pocket. I whispered to John, "he's going to propose!"
"Annabeth Chase, I love you with all my mind, heart and soul. I would go to hell for you, and you know that. Will you marry me?"
I got tears in my eyes, it was so moving! Apparently so did the woman. She put both hands over her mouth and nodded quickly. Through her tears of happiness she managed,
"Yes! Of course! A million billion times yes! I love you!"
The man smiled and slipped a ring onto her left ring finger. They kissed passionately and with the sunset behind them, it was the perfect image of true love. I snapped a picture on my camera and made a vow to send it to the happy couple eventually.
They pulled apart and walked in our direction, intertwined fingers swinging.
"Hello! That was such a moving proposal. Nice job!" John patted the man on the back.
"Thanks. I tried. I'm Percy by the way, and this is my fiancée, Annabeth," he replied happily.
"I'm John, and this here is my lovely wife Florence."
"It's nice to meet you! How long have you been married, if you don't mind my asking?" Annabeth said politely.
Now that they were closer, I could make out that she was truly beautiful. They both looked to be in their early twenties.
"53 magnificent years," I told her.
We talked with Percy and Annabeth for at least half an hour and I learned that they were 22, had been dating since they were 16, and had been best friends since they were twelve.
Eventually, we went separate ways, after I got Annabeth's email to send her the photo.
That was a perfect example of true love, I thought, as I walked to the car next to my husband and true love.
Another short one.......
