Phil's Point of View
As soon as I reached that majestic rock over looking High Falls, near Flat Rock, NC, I knew that Keely would love the view. I was quite frightened when I first saw a sign that said "Stay completely out of water. Life-threatening injuries have been obtained from currents", however, my fears were soon forgotten when I saw the beauty of the place. The way the water gently cascaded over part of the rock, down the rocky fall, and into a gentle pool at the bottom made me want to say "WOW!"
The falls were so relaxing and peaceful, my mind began to wander. I remembered when our time machine first crashed in the twenty-first century, and I was sure this century would be one big boring mess. I remembered when I first met Keely, and when she made a bold move by sitting with me at lunch. I remembered when I danced with her at the Mayor's Ball, when I asked her out, when we went on our first date, when I first kissed her, when she first told me she loved me. I remembered all the good times; all the times I felt content and happy, and I remembered all the times she was safe in my arms.
"You were thinking about Little Miss Sunshine!" Pim accusingly declared, pointing an index finger in my direction.
"Huh? What? I mean… no" I replied a little to fast for Pim to believe me.
"Phil, Phil, Phil" Pim began as I rolled my eyes; "you've been dating Keely since you were seventeen and she was sixteen, and now you're almost twenty-three! Low and behold, that is FIVE YEARS! You're financially stable, you've told her you love her multiple times and she returns the favor, you kiss her like all the time, even when she isn't going anywhere! Everyone can tell you think about her all the time… so go ahead and ask her to marry you before SOME OF US die of old age!"
Wow, I really should. I think I know just the place to do it.
