**Ella's POV**
Hunter's been gone for exactly a month.
My days have consisted of the same things.
I go to work.
I come home.
I eat dinner.
I talk to Hunter on the phone.
I go to sleep.
And then the cycle starts all over again.
I'm on my way home from work now.
When I got home I made some dinner and ate and then checked my phone.
I had a text from Hunter that said "call me when you can. Love you,".
I smiled to myself and called him.
He answered on the second ring and I could tell he was smiling when he said "Hello Ella Bella."
"Hey Hunt," I smiled.
"So what are you doing?" He asked me.
"Just sitting on the couch, watching tv," I sighed into the phone.
"You sound exhausted," he whispered.
"I am,"
"Do you want me to sing to you?" He asked me.
"Please," I whispered.

I'm staring out into the night,
Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.

He sang so softly and it made me smile.
I loved hearing his voice.
I just wished I was hearing it in person.

Well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.

The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.

A knock at the door interrupted his singing.

"Hold on, Hunter. Someone's at the door," I sighed and got up to open the door.

When I opened it there he was, kneeling on one knee, with a ring.

"I told you I was coming home," he said.
I immediately ran to where he was kneeling and wrapped my arms around his neck, tears streaming down my face.
"Will you marry me, Ella?" He smiled as I pulled away from his neck.
"Nah,"
"Whatever," he chuckled.
"Darn it. You didn't fall for it," I laughed.
"Nope," he smiled.
"Of course I'll marry you, Hunter," I smiled as he slipped the ring on my finger.
He stood up and I jumped on him.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and he carried me inside.
He walked us upstairs and laid me down on the bed.
He kissed me and it was the only thing I had been wanting for the past month.
To feel his lips against mine.
We fell asleep wrapped in each other's arms, our legs entangled.
I can't believe I was going to marry the love of my life.
