I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved, to be in love

"Come here."  Danny says with a kind look on his face.  I go to him and sit on his lap.  Danny twists his arms around me as I cozy up to him. 

"I've missed you."  I tell him. 

"I've missed you too, baby girl."  Danny says as he kisses my shoulder.  We sit in silence for a while, just enjoying each other's company.  It's been so long since we could just be together.

My head rests on Danny's shoulder, but I can tell he's staring at me.  I look up and see his smile through his bushy beard.

"What are you smiling about?"  I ask him as I tighten my hold of him.

"I'm just thinking about you."  Danny says.

"Really?"  I ask. "What were you thinking about exactly?"

"I was thinking about the day we got together.  When you kissed me in the middle of that snowstorm. How I knew at that exact moment that I loved you.  We were just 18, but my god I was so in love with you.  And I was thinking about he even after all these years, I'm still so in love with you.  Even after all we've been through, you're still the one.  I think that's pretty amazing."  Danny gushes.  I lean up and kiss his cheek. 

"I'm still so in love with you too."  I tell him, but he already knows this.  I've never made it a secret how much I love Danny.

"I'm glad you said that actually."  Danny says as he reaches casually into his pocket.  His hand appears holding a tiny black box.

"What's that?"  I ask in a shocked tone as I sit up. 

"Y/n, I have a very serious question to ask you."  Danny says calmly.  He seems as relaxed as he always is, while I'm freaking out.  "Will you marry me?"

"Are you serious?!"  I ask.  I know this isn't the appropriate response, but I'm completely surprised.  "I thought you said that you never wanted to get married?"

"I was wrong. I love you, y/n.  I've loved you since I was 18 and I've loved you everyday since.  I've thought about marrying you a lot and there's nothing more I want in the world.  To spend the rest of my life you would be an honor.  I don't know what I did to deserve you, but I'm not going to take it for granted."  Danny says simply.  "I know we haven't talked about us getting married and I understand if this isn't what you want."

"No no no.  I want this.  Of course I want this.  I just didn't know you wanted this."  I tell Danny.

"Like I said, I've thought about this a lot.  When I fell and broke my arm last year, I thought about something.  I thought about how if I was ever seriously injured and could never snowboard again, I wouldn't care as long as I had you.  I never worry about anything, because I have you.  I never have any bad days, because at the end of the day I have you in my life.  If someone makes me that happy, then I should marry them and that's what I intend to do."  Danny explains to me.

"My answer is yes.  I'd love to marry you."  I tell Danny.  A big goofy grin fills his face.  I'm sure I have the same goofy grin on my face.  He then puts his hands on my cheeks and kisses me.

All I can do is say that these arms were made for holding you
I wanna love like you made me feel
When we were 18
