We walk along the side walk, side by side. He smiles that sweet, childish smile that makes even the sun too shy to come out.
He takes a hold of my cold hands and bends onto one knee. Reaching down into his pocket, he pulls out a box.
He looks up at me with his blue, sparkling eyes and says those four small words that seems like thousands.
"Will you marry me?"
I pull my hands away. What do I do? What do I say?
I nod my head yes while tears stream down my face.
He takes the diamond ring out of the designer box and places it on my finger.
Everyone around us cheers as he gets up and lays a soft, passionate kiss on my lips.
He pulls away and whispers something in my ear.
"I've always loved you, Elena. You've always been the highlight of my life. Please never forget that."
That was just enough to snap me out of my daydream and bring me back to the chair beside the hospital bed, just in time to watch my husband take his final breathe.
