Summary
"I
want to ask you something," Jesse said suddenly, breaking the
silent air that had been present around him and Susannah. "OK,"
Suze replied, not knowing what else to say. Jesse got down on
his knees, and that's when Suze knew what he was about to do. She
didn't freak out, but she wasn't exactly relaxed or worry-free
either. Her nerves increased as Jesse reached into his pocket and
pulled out a small box. "Susannah Simon, will you marry me?"
Jesse asked as he opened the case to reveal the most beautiful
diamond ring Suze had ever seen. "Yes," Susannah
whispered. Jesse removed the ring and slipped it on her finger; she
had dreamed of this moment since she was sixteen and now it was
actually happening. Jesse took her in his arms and kissed her and she
wrapped her hands around his neck.
This event, of which everyone thought would happen, did not. It was destined to be, except misunderstanding intercepted beforehand; never did Suze get to leap into Jesse's arms when he proposed.
Now Susannah is twenty eight and Jesse is thirty two, and they haven't spoken to each other in ten years. But what will happen when after all this time they are brought back together? Is it a coincidence, or fate?
