Eric and I stand out side of his door and I look into his eyes-- those gorgeous green eyes-- I see the look, the look that tells me he loves me.
"Thanks so much for coming." I break the silence.
"I had a good day." He puts his hand into his pocket. "Oh, I almost forgot. Your birthday present." He pulls out a small box wrapped in bandana print paper. I tear away the paper and open the box. Inside I find a beautiful charm bracelet. A bow and arrow, a 22 shell, shotgun shell, fishing lure, four wheeler, and sunflower charms dangle for the silver chain.
"Eric... it's beautiful." I whisper as I put my arms around his neck. "Thank you so much."
I can't believe I'm doing this. I plant a little kiss on his lips. And embrace him tighter.
"Your welcome." He says hugging me back. I feel a few tears run down my face. Rylan would want me to be happy and I'm really happy. Here with Eric. He senses the tears and pulls my away to wipe them from my cheeks.
"I love you." He whispers. I can't believe I'm saying it:
"I love you too."
"You do?" He asks.
"I do. I do Eric Nicholas Collins. I do."
