Prologue
I was walking down the road following him, trying to see where he was going. The café, for his daily coffee, he always got a mocha latte and blueberry bagel. It was routine.
I had loved him ever since I first laid eyes on him, like love at first sight.
He was starting to cross the road, well he was going to, I could see it, and he was slowly turning his body away from the shops and more towards the road.
I figured he was headed for the silver Volvo about thirty feet up. It made sense. He looked like a Volvo owner.
He started to cross the road, and a loud beeping sound was emitting from an oncoming car heading straight for him and I stopped, I couldn't look away.
"EDWARD!" I scream, trying to get his attention.
BANG!
"Shit" I watch as the car hits him.
What am I going to do? This is not what it is supposed to be like, we were supposed to get married, have children, do all of the things that any normal couple would do, and now… I will never get my chance.
He started to twitch.
My head jolted in his direction.
He twitched again.
I run over and kneel next to him to see if he is okay.
"Edward? Edward? Are you okay?"
"What, who am, where am I? What happened?" perfect…, this is my chance to make my move, to get on in.
"Edward darling, don't worry, you are going to be fine, you were hit by a car, but you're going to fine."
"Who are you?" Go time. At those words I begin to cry to the best my acting skills will allow me.
As my performance continues I slip on the ring I had bought for this very moment.
"I'm your wife Edward, I'm your wife"
