Endurance // M. Taylor

xv. epilogue

It had been several months since the events at the lodge. Matt and I had made it official once again.. I was continuing my law degree at Harvard University as a sophomore, Matt was continuing his activities as star quarterback at Harvard University as a junior. We were happy, and that was good enough for me.

Matt and I had several months of counseling after what happened on that mountain. It was hard, seeing Jess, Josh, and Emily being killed. It would continue to haunt the both of us for the rest of our lives. But nonetheless, we tried to be happy. If not for us, then for them.

"Hey babe, I'm home." I shouted as I entered our apartment, Matt and I shared. We lived just off campus in a two bedroom apartment made just for us.

"In here, Rose." I hear Matt's voice coming from the kitchen and walk in there to find him dressed in a nice suit with the table made up all fancy. There was a bottle of champagne and a wonderful plate of food laid out on our fancy china. I couldn't help but smile.

"Matthew Taylor, what have you done?" I ask him playfully, smiling at him. He smiled back and sat me down.

"Well, my girl has been working so hard lately. I decided it would be great to have a nice, candlelit dinner with her." He spoke so smoothly, and I took a sip of the champagne.

"To us." He says, winking at me.

"To us."

"What is this actually about?" I asked, finishing the meal and putting my fork down. Matt looks up from his plate and looks me in the eyes.

"What do you mean?" He asks, looking a bit worried. I smile, and ask him the real questions.

"I mean, that for all the years I've known you, you've never done this for any girl. Why me and why now?" I ask him.

"Because, Rose, you're the one." He spoke. I smiled, and I didn't know what to say to that. I mean, what would you say?

"Rose, I've been told by so many people that some times with love, you meet the right person at the wrong time. I find that to be true with you and I. That soulmates always find a way. Roslyn, you are my soulmate and I have been so very lucky to have you in my life. I love you and I want to be a part of your life, for the rest of mine."

"Matt...are you doing what I think you're doing?" I was grinning like an idiot, but I was unbelievably happy. Matt made me that way. Irresistibly happy and content.

"Roslyn Renay Baker, will you marry me?" Matt gets on one knee and pops the question.

"Yes. Always and forever." I shouted happily, though I had tears in my eyes, I was as happy as could be

"Always and forever."
