Six months later.
In the past few months, my life has completely changed for the better.
I'm engaged which is something I never thought would happen to me, but I'm happy it did. My fiancé has recently moved in with me and Orion. The three of us have been planning the wedding which is coming along perfectly. It will be a small and simple wedding. I don't want anything big. Big weddings are lovely, and I enjoy attending them, but I am not capable of hosting one. It all just seems like too much when I simply want to get married to the man I love and get it over with.
Orion's laugh from downstairs gets my attention as I take a pair of sunglasses from the little collection that I seem to have built since Italy thanks to Silas. I feel like I'm slowly turning into him. It's not a bad thing because he's perfect, but I've only recently realized it. I actually think he's purposely making it happen. He buys coats things like accessories that we can share. It's cute.
I walk into the kitchen, ready for the day, to find Orion and Silas waiting for me to eat breakfast before we drop Orion off for school. I walk in to hear them having a conversation.
"She hugged me when I went back to school after my coma." With a charming smile and a gleam in his eyes, Orion informs Silas. "She is also very pretty."
"Have you tried asking her to be your girlfriend?" Silas asks before noticing my presence.
"Good morning, my love." For the second time today, my fiancé tells me while giving me a big hug and kiss.
"Good morning." I kiss his cheek before moving on to kiss my other love.
"Who are we talking about? I heard something about a girlfriend." I lightly pinch Orion's cheek.
The kid laughs. "Do you remember Daniela?"
"I do." I nod as I sit down, and Silas places my breakfast in front of me.
"Papa is helping me plan out to ask her to be my girlfriend." Orion appears nervous, but in a good way.
He looks at me with a nervous smile all of a sudden. "I can ask her, right?"
"Why not? As long as you are kind and respectful toward her." I begin eating my breakfast.
"Okay, I will be. I promise." He gives his assurance as Silas randomly places a piece of paper and a pen in front of him.
"Write her a letter." Silas suggests while taking a sip of his coffee.
"Okay..." Orion furrows his eyebrows, appearing to be in deep thought. "What do I write?"
I also wait in amusement for Silas's response, which he comes up with rather quickly.
"Your favorite things about her, how beautiful she is, what an amazing girl she is, and express how she makes you feel." Silas responds with ease.
