The phone vibrates. I jump over my bed and pick it up immediately. "Hey you." He says.
"Hey, yourself" I say.
"Kate Lowe. Have you received anything specific in the mail lately?"
"Huh?" I'm confused. What the heck is he talking about?
"Go look then." He says eagerly.
I was very suspicious. "Thomas Morrissey, have you filled my letterbox with unwanted disgusting earthy creatures?"
He cackles. "No, Just open it."
"Right, to Kate Lowe.." I flip it over, "from your coolest and handsomest secret admirer."
"Well it isn't so much a secret then is it?" I joke.
"Oh, you caught me, I'm head over heels in LOVE WITH YOU!" he says proudly.
"I know, I'm pretty amazing." I say with confidence. "Uhhhhh I'm not so sure now." He says teasing me. "If I could slap you through the phone I would."
"Ohhh shit look out, feisty Katie on the loose."
"Oh shut up."
"Open the damn letter Katie I can't wait any longer!!!"
"Alright! Calm down, patience, young grasshopper."
"I'm older than you."
"Irrelevant."
Silence.
"Dear Katie, I'm writing to you because I want you to know how much I love you. Since the day we met I knew I had to not only get to know but try my luck and my chances to be able to get close to you and be with you. You are a ray of sunshine and the best thing that's happened to me. I want to give you as much as I can, my honesty, my sincerity, my care, my affection, my love, I want to give it all to you." Tears roll down my cheeks. Oh my gosh. "Katie, I know how you feel about promises. I know how you feel about the truth, and I'm giving you that and I hope you believe every word of this as I mean it. I promise to love you with my whole heart. I promise to take care of you and to bring out the best in you. I promise I won't hurt you, and I promise I'll always own up to my mistakes. I'll be here for you always in good and in the bad. I promise Katie. Do you?"
"I can't describe how this makes me feel. Thomas I can't believe you did this for me."
"That's not all, my dear Katie."
"Seriously? What more could you possibly...."
He hung up. I stand on my driveway feeling like my heart could explode and in confusion at his abrupt scenario just then.
But a smile forms on my face as soon as I see him, My Thomas, walking up my driveway with flowers in his hand. They were Lilly's. "What did I do to deserve you??" He folds out the flowers, I take them. "They're beautiful."
I lean in to kiss him. "Thank you."
"Katie Lowe." He's on one knee.
"Oh holy crap! I don't know if, ahhh what is happening!" I throw my hands up over my mouth. "Are you...prop...."
"I'm flattered than you want to marry me Katie, but the letter was all about promise." His last word sticks with me, it hangs in the air.
"Uh huh." I nod my head.
"I promise, it's a promise ring Katie, until I get the honour to put a ring on it, I promise to love you with my whole heart."
"You just quoted Beyoncé." I laugh out loud.
"I did. I like what I see, so I put a temporary ring on it."
"You FRICKING idiot. I love you so much."
"What can I say, I'm amazing, that's how I got this cute ass girl to like me."
"Mystery girl, actually, but thanks for the compliment." I attempt to wink.
He laughs loudly. "Coffee shop boy and mystery girl. Sounds like a romance novel or something."
"We could be." I say smiling.
He takes my hand as we walk up the driveway. "Damnnn my hand looks good with this promise ring on my finger to remind me that you changed my perspective on that word, FOREVER!"
"Yessss!" He fist punches the air. "Go me!"
"For once in my life, the promise isn't broken."
"At least for now, what about your dad?" He asks quizzically.
"I totally forgot. At least for now." I repeat.
"The promise is not broken."
