"Julie, where the hell are we going?" Jenna looked out the window. They had been on the road for a long time, and they had driven all the way out of the city. "You'll see, we're almost there." Julien promised. Almost where? They were in the middle of nowhere. Suddenly, Julien turned a corner, and pulled up to a small wooden building. Jenna was so confused. She looked at Julien, her eyebrows raised. "Just trust me." he laughed. They got out of the car, and walked up to the building. There was a front desk, with a short older redhead sitting behind it. "I believe you two are Jenna and Julien?" she asked, the smile lines around her eyes crinkling. "You would be correct!" Julien confirmed. "Alright, great! Barbara is waiting out back." the lady informed them. Jenna took Julien's hand in hers, feeling nervous. They walked down a narrow hallway with a cabin-y feel. Finally, they pushed open the back door. Jenna's jaw dropped. In the back, there was a humungous green field, with garden sprinkled around the space. There were little wetland areas, and a stream ran through the back, with a cute mini cement arch foot bridge, which was adorable, since the stream couldn't have been more than three feet wide. There were deep ponds everywhere. "Welcome to the Los Angeles Otter Sanctuary!" a woman greeted them, Jenna assumed that was Barbara. Jenna's eyes widened, and she looked at Julien. "An otter sanctuary? Baaaaabe, oooow!" she said. Julien smiled and kissed her forehead. Then she saw them. Five otters swimming around. She wasn't even listening to Barbara explaining the sanctuary. She was in complete bliss.
The afternoon was amazing. She and Julien got to learn about the sanctuary, about otters, and they even got to hold one! Halfway through the tour, Barbara said, "Something I always thought was cute, it that they hold hands while they sleep! Adorable, right!?" After she said that, Jenna and Julien looked into each others eyes, and smiled the most genuine smiles. They already knew that. That's how they started calling each other otter. One day, Jenna came home and told Julien that fact about otter, and they realized that they were each other's otters. They called each other otter everyday since.
At the end of the tour, they were walking around in a separate fenced off area, uninhabited by the otter. Julien's heart was beating out of his chest. He stuck his hand in his pocket, to make sure the ring was there. Yep, it definetly was. Jenna was oblivious. The area was a small green garden, with little koi pond. Jenna was busy looking at the koi, facing away from Julien. While she was facing away, she started to talk. "Julien, I have to tell you some-" Jenna turned around, and stopped talking. Right before her eyes, Julien Solomita was down on one knee. He took her hand. Jenna immediately felt tears rush to her eyes. She clamped her hand over he mouth. She couldn't say she didn't suspect it, but it was still surprising. "Jenna Mourey. Ever since the day we made it official, I knew. I knew you were the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Through these seven years, we've been through so much. You've made me a better person. You've supported me in everything I do. Waking up next to you everyday, is just a constant reminder of how lucky I am to have a person as wonderful as you in my life. Not a day has gone by in these seven years, that you havent made me smile or laugh. You are the most genuine, kind, hard working, loving, and beautiful person I know. I love you more than anything in the world. You are my world. And while I think we can still both agree that marriage isn't necessary to solidify our love, being able to say I'm married to a person as incredible as you would just mean everything. I love you, Jenna. More than you could ever imagine. So..." he pulled out a white ring box from him pocket, and opened it. The sunset hit the diamonds, making them glitter. "Jenna Nicole Mourey...will you marry me?" Julien finally finished, his eyes full of tears. Jenna had tears streaming down her cheeks. "Oh otter, yes. Yes...yes. Yes, of course I'll marry you!" she broke down into happy sobs, as Julien placed the ring on her left ring finger. A perfect fit. "Oh my fucking god, Julie, it's gorgeous!" Jenna choked out through sobs. Once Julien was back on his feet, Jenna threw herself into his arms. They held each other tighter than ever, knowing they would never really have to let go. "I love you so, so, so much, Julien." Jenna said, slightly stiffled into his chest. She kissed him deeply. "I love you too. And holy shit...we're gonna get married!" Julien said, crying a little himself. "We can both agree on no huge super elaborate wedding, right?" Jenna suggested. "Oh fuck yes" Julien laughed. Jenna kissed him again. "Wait, what were you going to say before?" Julien asked. "Oh...it was nothing, I'll tell you later." Jenna said. They were incapacitated with complete and total bliss.
