"Mom? Mom? Yoo-hoo?"

I snap my eyes open and see Amelia standing in front of me, "Sorry sweetheart, I must have just blanked out for a moment."

She rolls her eyes and takes a step back, "What do you think of this one?"

A small gasp escapes my mouth as I take a look at the embodiment of beauty right in front of me. The strapless dress completely shows off her perfect hourglass figure. The simple white dress poofs out a bit at the bottom of the dress and yet, it's still perfect on her. "It's beautiful darling, where did you find it?"

Amelia looks towards a space filled with nothing and smiles, "Someone just helped me out a bit."

I reach towards the ring laying on my necklace and smile. 'Thanks Will' I think to myself. I don't get a response, but it makes me happy either way. "Alright sweetheart, do you want that one?"

"Yes please mom. Please."

I give her a smile, "Alright, go get changed into your other clothes and then come meet me out here."

She nods and I move to get up and stretch. I decide to walk around a bit and move towards the checkout area. I notice a tall guy standing behind the counter with his body turned away from me. "Excuse me? Do you have any small rings?" I ask.

Without saying anything, he points to a small case and goes back to working. I shrug, thinking it must be just a bad day and I move towards the case. Dozens of beautiful rings are sitting right in front of me, and they all look beautiful. "Excuse me sir? Could you help me grab one of these rings?" I ask.

Again, saying nothing, the faceless guy moves towards the case, never saying a word or showing his face. I think nothing of it, considering the fact he might just be shy. "Could I get the diamond and emerald ring in the far back right corner?" I ask.

With a slight nod, he leans down and grabs the one I want. I smile politely as he sets in on the counter in front of me. I try and make eye contact, but the only thing I get is a heart throbbing.

A bright smile fills my mind and I almost pass out on the spot. The piercing blue eyes stare straight into my heart and before I know it, my arms are wrapped around his waist, "What are you doing here Will?"

He smiles and rests his chin on top of my head, "Well, I may or may not have gotten a human form for the rest of my short lived life."

I try lifting my head, but I notice he won't let me, "What are you talking about Will?"

He shakes his head, "I'll explain it all later." he says.

I smile until I hear someone clear their throat, "Ahem, are we interrupting something?"

I turn around quickly and blush, seeming my two kids staring at me, "Amelia, Rose. No, you aren't."

Will tilts his head questioningly, and Amelia does the same. "I thought you said you didn't get married." Will says.

"I thought you said you didn't have anyone important in your life." Amelia says.

I look down to the floor, "Will, these are my kids, Amelia and Rose. They are both adopted. Amelia, Rose, this is Will, an old--- friend." I muster up.

Will and Amelia both smile, satisfied with the answer.

The wedding goes by fast, with Will sitting by me the entire time. Tears were shed, happiness was overflowing. When it came to the reception, I decided to just sit in a corner far away from everyone, as my head had been throbbing. With just that thought, my head stopped hurting. "What in the--?"

Will suddenly appears next to me with a smile plastered onto his face, "Come on," he says, "We're dancing."

I smile, knowing I have no choice as Will drags me towards the dance floor. A slow dance comes on and we dance silently, knowing what each other was saying without saying anything. "You're not bad for a thirty-nine year old." Will whispers.

I blush a deep crimson, and say nothing. The song seems to go on forever, and it's perfect. I turn my head towards the windows and smile at the view. "I could get used to a view like that."

The thing I don't notice is Will is smiling, and looking down at me, "Yeah," he replies, "I could get used to a view like this."
