Matt Brown: A Year of Short Stories

Three I'd do Anything for Love

You wait for Matt to get into Hoonah, you would do anything for him. You just wish you could see him a lot more than once a week. You are waiting at the dock for him. You see him drive up in the skiff. He smiles at you as he ties the skiff to the dock. He walks to you, and wraps his arms around your waist and pulls you closer to him. He bends down a few inches and kisses you on your lips. You smile at him after he gets done kissing you. You both hold hands as you walk into town. As you both are walking in town, you tell him that he is the only good thing in this town and you want to get out of this Godforsaken town. When you look up at him, he is looking down at you, then he tells you that he would do anything for you and the he could get you out of this Godforsaken town. He tells you that you could live in Browntown with him and build a future together. The next thing you know is that Matt is down on his knee asking you to marry him and to spend the rest of your life with him. You say yes!!! He stands up and kisses you again. He picks you up and swings you around. As you both walk back to your place, hand in hand, you smile because all you can think of is Matt in your life and future, but you are also thinking of the song called "I'd do Anything for Love," to you the song is true because you would do anything for love and also for Matt.

I had this song stuck in my head for days, and somehow this story came out of it.
