The Proposal

Life Goes On

          Max had gone... We never spoke about him or even thought about him much anymore. The only thing that gave me the quick reminder was the scar left from the day he left. Luckily, I don't love to look in the mirror anyway so I was fine for awhile. That's when something terrible happened...
     Gomez had been on a trip to visit his cousin in Peru... He said it was too dangerous on account of the baby... Oh well I hadn't really told him about that... But details don't matter! I was waiting to tell him on his arrival home.
     Weirdly though, on that day my now husband was nowhere in sight! I had Gomez's mama set up lovely lights of black for Christmas and I was so excited for him to see them! We waited and no one came. I started to get worried, but shook it off till dark.
     That's when I called him... It was hard to make out, but he answered!
     "Gomez! Where are you darling?"
     "Tish... Max... You... Come... Hurry..."
     The line went dead....
     "Where?!" I cried tears coming down my cheeks. "Darling no... Don't hang up!" Mama heard all the noise and walked to me in a huff.
     "What is going on?" She asked annoyed.
     "Max has Gomez..." I said quietly but panicked.
     Mama's reaction was far from what I expected.
       "He is? Well then let's pick up your Uncle Fester and find him!" She finished dragging me to the car... 
     "Bye Lurch! Feed Cleopatra will you? She's just a baby she'll miss me so..."
