Seven Months Later
Engfa
Charlotte and I are in Philadelphia, walking around our childhood neighborhood revisiting all of our hangout spots. We stop at our favorite playground growing up, and Charlotte squeals with delight as we both hop on the swings. After a few minutes of reminiscing about our time as kids, she gets up and begins running her fingers along the wood of the jungle gym.
"What are you doing?"
"Looking for something. I wonder if it's still here."
"What is it?"
"Shhh, I'm trying to concentrate. It's around here somewhere I think."
"What are-" My words stop when she laughs and points.
"Found it. Come here, look!"
I move off the swing across the playground and kneel next to her, following her perfectly manicured finger. In handwriting that unmistakably belonged to a child, the following letters are carved into the wood:
CA (plus) EW 4EVR
My eyes widen seeing the workings of a much younger Charlotte on display. "When was this?"
"Not sure." She looks at the sky as if the answer will fall from it. "I may have been about nine or so?"
I look at her, the love for me so evident in her eyes, and before I can catch the words, I'm blurting out, "Marry me."
Her eyes are wide and unblinking as she stammers out "What?" I think as a way to give me an out. She probably thinks the nostalgia is messing with my head, but the truth is I had never seen things clearer, and I had a young Charlotte Austin to thank for it.
"I love you. I want to be married to you, Charlotte. Will you marry me?"
She looks back at the writing, drawing her fingertip over the letters before her watery eyes drift back to me. "Yes! Yes, of course I'll marry you."
Charlotte burrowed her way into my heart almost twenty years ago, a girl that used to follow me around like my shadow when we were kids.
Charlotte Austin, my best friend's sister, the one woman I should have stayed away from.
But I'm glad I didn't, because she ended up being my forever.
Maybe little Charlotte Austin had it right all along.
