As i sit on their living room couch, he comes into my line of view and gives me a kiss on the cheek. "Are you ready to leave dear?" He smiles down at me. I nod my head and he holds out a hand to help me up. He pulls me up and i land in his arms. He smiles at me and i cant help but smile back. We say our good-byes to the Ponds. We walk out the door and he closes it behind us. We walk down the steps my hand in his, our fingers intertwined. It started flurrying. There was already snow on the ground. "How about we walk around for a bit," He say "Its such a beautiful night." He gives a wink and i giggle. I nod and we continue down the street. He puts his jacket around me. Knowing I'm too stubborn to accept it if he offers it. I lean my head in his arm and whisper "thank you love" He replies "Anytime dear". He kisses my forehead.
We continue walking, and then i hear him say my name "Marilyn..." It sounds so lovely coming out of his mouth. I always enjoy when he says my name. I smile "Yes love?" He reaches for my hand and i open it so we can intertwine our fingers once again. He continues "You know i love you right?" He looked down and i could hear the seriousness in his voice. We stop walking. i respond "Of course i know that. And i love you too." So many things were running through my head. "Well then i have question to ask: How much do you love me?" Why is he asking this? Is he going to break my heart? "More than the sun, More than the stars in the sky." He smiles. Is this funny? Im having a panic attack. My heart is racing, I feel dizzy. "Ok one more question for you love," He says as he reaches into his pocket and proceeds to get down on one knee. I cant quite register what he's doing my head is still racing. He speaks again "Marilyn, I love you just like you said you love me, More than the sun that shines and more than the number of stars in the sky. So will you do me the honor of... " He takes a breath and smiles up at me. That's when i notice the small blue box in his hand. He pops it open to show a small ring with a diamond on it. I get more dizzier and my heart pumps faster. "Marrying me? Will you marry me?" I'm so completely over whelmed. He looks up at me, one knee in the snow and his hand around the box. My mind is moving fast but i know what i want. So i reply with "Yes Of Course!!!!" He grabs my left hand and puts the ring on. He looks at me and worry strikes him. "Marilyn, dear are you ok?" And then i look him in the eyes and then everything goes black.
