DANNY
- Present -

Just as I close the front door to my apartment behind me, I could already hear the trapping of small paws on the black laminate floor and before I knew it, a husky shoots around the corner.

I put down the work bag, squatted down to scratch Balu behind the ear. The little one is really happy to see me, which I can understand.
After all, I was in the office from this morning. Meanwhile it is late in the evening.

After Balu calmed down and ran away again, I took off my shoes and then I smelled it. Eat. Immediately the margin growled to me, because I just didn't get to it today. There was so much to do and as the boss of a company I should already do one or the other task.

I found rachel on the stove in the kitchen. Her blonde hair is open but slightly wavy and she wore regular jeans with a shirt. Did I mention that she is barefoot?
How long have we been together?
It doesn't seem too long to me.

A look at the calendar next to the fridge tells me. Five happy years. Since the collage, okay not exactly right away, but maybe two months later we got together.
When I thought about it, I had to smile slightly.

"Hey honey," said the beauty as I hug her from behind.
Rachel leans next to me.
She smelled of strawberries.

I love strawberries.

"You didn't have to cook. We could have ordered something," I replied. We have been living together for over two years.
"Also, it's Thursday, Babe. We always order," she shrugged her shoulders, turning her head slightly so she could give me a kiss on the cheek. "Today is our day".

Yes, he is, Rachel.

After eating, we planted ourselves right on the couch. Balu snored quietly next to the living room door on his very own ceiling.
Actually, from the beginning did not want him to sleep in the living room, but Rachel insisted on it.

There were a few discussions about it and at some point I gave it up. Meanwhile, I don't think it's so bad. I had received Balu from her last birthday.

We both loved animals, but dogs the most and she probably thought having a dog in the household could be exciting.
How right she is, because Balu is totally cheeky.

Rachel lay on her stomach and looked at the TV that is on. A favorite series of hers was running. Outlander.
I'm just forced to watch them.

"When are you going to ask me when I'll be your wife, Danny?" It was very quiet. I almost didn't understand it because the TV was on. My heart stumbled briefly before beating wildly against my chest.
My hands immediately got sweaty.

"Do you want that?" came the counter-question.
It was only a matter of time before one of us came up with the topic.

Maybe we're ready now.
I want a life with her, I knew that when I caught Rachel at college graduation because she tripped.
"I want a life with you, Danny."

That's exactly all I needed to hear.
Everything that mattered to me at that moment.
"Then we marry".

Engaged.
We are now officially engaged.

"I'll get you a ring first thing in the morning."
Then she kissed me.

And that night, not only did I love Rachel once, I transported her to a place where there will always be only us.
Forever.

Forever
