I woke up this morning with Jameson's side of the bed beside me cold. I turned around groggily confused at why he wasn't there.....Then I remembered. It's our anniversary!!!! 5 years of dealing with and loving Jameosn Winchester Hawthorne.
My eyes immediately wandered to the dress bag on the bed. Immediately opening it I saw a stunning emerald green dress. Yes, the color was quite similar to the one Jameson bought me on the first birthday I spent with him but.....this dress felt like something I would pick and cherish.
I immediately put it on and felt amazing at the feel of the cloth against my skin. Surprisingly, it felt a lot like the Hawthorne himself.
THE DRESS>>>

I quickly put on some makeup and opened my door to find a small letter peeking through the door frame. Immediately taking it out it had a green rose seal on it. I carefully opened it in case there was hidden writing on the cover and found a message.
The day we met was the day I died,
in your hands, everything seems divine.
On this day I send my hints,
find me at the place, we first clicked
---- Your ever dashing boyfriend
Hmm, where we first clicked. That meant the time we first understood each other and that was when when we were searching the bridge for any clues. But is it?...... I turned the words around in my head again. Clicked....... we first clicked.....The Hawthorne gates When I figured out the key to the door and opened it...the sound was a click!!!!
I sprinted as fast as my dress could running through the House until I reached the gates. There I found another letter hanging near the keyhole.
Simple is always the better option,
however not the case of this question
find a clue hidden in what you can see,
at the place you fell for me.
---------- Your favorite Hawthorne
It took me less than a second to conclude he was talking about the rock climbing we did at the gym where I let go of his hand and fell to the ground. I immediately sprinted there and the lights were turned off, I moved to turn them on before I stopped myself. In what you can see...I looked around and saw one rock on the wall had a slight glow. Walking forward I place my hand on it. Writing....you hawthorns and your invisible ink.
The final riddle that leads you to me,
shall be the place where I met thee.
I leaning down to see your face,
and you looking up to meet my lustful gaze.
follow the petals that find you first
awaiting your presence to quench my thirst
------------ Your partner in crime
How could I even forget the day I met him on that balcony? Shirtless, drunk, grieving. The boy that has slowly grown into a man. I ran there with all that I had and stopped when I saw rose petals behind the closed door. I walked forward and took a deep breath before opening it.
The balcony was beautiful with the sun slowly rising making the clouds seem pink. But it wasn't the scenery that caught my attention.....It always left me shocked at how he could pull off a tux without even looking like he was trying down to his green dress shirt that matched my dress and the bouquet he was holding.
Before I could even begin to speak he walked forward and whispered in my ear.
"You look stunning heiress......but I need to ask you something before kissing you till I can't stop" he whispers pulling back barely an inch keeping us close.
"Avery Kylie Grambs, In my first 18 years of life I never knew happiness. I never knew what it felt like for someone to hold me and be sure they loved me. All I knew was expectations that had to be met and rules I had to break. But then you came into my life throwing my world into a twist, drawing me closer. I was intrigued at the beginning but once I understood you and once I met the real you. You already had me. I was yours since the day at the Blackwood, where I realized I would take a bullet for you any day. Because I would lose myself much before I willingly face the pain of losing you...
So I kneel here before you...." He knelt slowly and pulled out a black velvet box while I felt tears slowly filling my eyes.
"Avery Kylie Grambs, Will you be mine?" He asked opening the box, his eyes showing pure love and a slight fear of my answer.
"Yes Jameson Hawthorne," I said tears escaping my eyes as I crashed my lips against him. I kissed him and It wasn't soft, It wasn't our usual fire either but it was amazing feeling his hair in my arms and his arms around my waist. Knowing that every day for the rest of my existence I will be his, and he will be mine...
Slowly we pulled away leaning our foreheads against one another to not saying a word.
"I'm engaged," I said a smile clouding my face. He pulled back and slipped a ring onto my finger.
"Now you're engaged," he said smiling as I admired the ring on my left hand.
The emerald... It was the exact shade of his eyes with vines wrapping around my finger. It wasn't over dramatic or too much...It was perfect.
"Well since your mine.....what should we do tonight?....." he said a smirk climbing onto his face.
