Brielle wakes up and sees Adam watching her. She gives a little smile and then starts to cry.
"What's wrong darling?" Adam asks scooping her up in his arms.
"I feel like I'm going to die." She says.
"I know. Shh, it's okay. You'll be okay. I'll get you some medicine today." Adam softly says to her. He wipes the tears from her face and looks at the clock. 1:50pm.
"I'm gonna get you something to eat. I'll be right back." He says getting out of bed. He goes downstairs and gets some applesauce for her. His phone rings and it's Joan.
"Hi mom."
"Hi honey, how are you this morning?" She asks.
"I'm good, how are you?" He asks walking up the stairs to Brielle's room.
"I'm good. Your dad forgot his gold clubs at the cottage so we're going to stop by soon. Is there anything you need?"
"Yes actually, can you get the strongest medicine you can find? Brielle has mono."
"Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. Of course, we'll be there soon."
"Thanks mom. Bye." He says handing the food to Bri.
"Eat up darling." He says. She chokes down the applesauce and lays back down.
"Good girl." Adam says taking the bowl. He hears his parents come in and he goes downstairs.
"Hi mom, hi dad." He says hugging them.
"Hi honey. Here's the medicine for Brielle. I asked someone who worked at the store what the strongest was."
"Thank you mom, so much." He says kissing her cheek. His dad goes out to the garage and gets his golf clubs.
"You really like this girl, don't you?" Joan asks him. He smiles.
"I'm in love with her."
"Oh you are? Have you told her?"
"Yes. She loves me back."
"Oh Adam, that's great!" She says.
"She's the one mom. She's definitely the one."
"Are you going to propose to her?"
"Not yet. I want to take things slow.
"Does she?"
Adam thinks about the question for a while, but can't come up with a good answer. His dad comes back inside with the golf clubs.
"Well how do I ask her if she wants to take things slow without it sounding like a proposal?" Adam asks.
"What's this about a proposal?" Randal chimes in.
"Adam wants to propose to Brielle but doesn't know if it's too soon." Joan sums up.
"Well, I wanted to marry your mother on the first date." He jokes.
"It's true. And he did." Joan says.
"What did you do?" Adam asks.
"I said yes. I had known him for a couple months already. I was in love with him on the first date." She says. Adam thinks about that for a while also.
"Well, we'll let you ponder on that for a while. Call us if you need anything else."
They say their goodbye's and Adam goes upstairs with some water and the medicine.
"I have your medicine, love." He says. Brielle sits up a little, looks at the water, and back at Adam with a scared look on her face.
"I know, the water will hurt your throat but I promise this will make you feel better." He says. She takes the medicine and lays back down. She pats the space next to her, and Adam goes over and crawls back in. He puts his arm around her and she cuddles up to him. Do I want to propose to her? He thinks to himself. Yes, I do. I really do.
