"So, what happened?" I asked hugging her. I wonder what Nancy said about our engagement. I pull back and look into her eyes. Tears pour down her face uncontrollably.

"My dad's dead..." she turns around and starts to run to the bedroom. I grab her by the hand and pull her back to me. I pull her into an embrace. She sobs into my bare chest.

"I know. I know it hurts. Trust me I know. Everything will get better. I know right now, it hurts. It will for the next month, maybe even the next year. Just know I'm here for you. Whenever you're ready to talk. I'll be here. Always."

"Thank you Mark." Her voice is muffled from my chest. "But now who's going to walk me down the aisle? I was so excited for him to. My next choose would've been your father but that's out of the question too."

"I'm sure you'll think of something. Let's just relax right now. Now isn't the time to think about the wedding. We have months to prepare for that. We'll get through this. Just one baby step at a time sweetheart."

"Thank you Mark. Thank you for understanding. Thank you for being here with me. I need you right now more than ever." She hugs me tighter.

"I won't go anywhere until I know you are okay. Maybe it's best we take a nap right now. A lot has just happened." I pick her up and walk her to the bed.

I lay her down on the bed and lay right next to her. "Promise you'll stay with me Mark?"

"I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else." I kiss her softly.

She pulls me closer making the kiss stronger. I pull away a brush her hair out of her face. "Not now. We need to rest for a little bit." She smiles at me then cuddles into my chest. I wrap my arms around her and we take our little cat nap.
