Danny and I have constantly been writing to each other, somehow every letter I received from him made me miss him even more. Just not being able to walk with him like we used to, it certainly made me want speed up time so I can be with him once again. Being the shy guy he was it took a lot of sweet talking in order for him to send me a picture of his lovely self, he was absolutely flawless in the portrait everything about him was flawless. In return I'd send him a picture of myself and let me just tell you how much he flattered me. After a while, it was finally the time I wanted for so long. It was the day in which I'd see him again, the girls and I were going to New York City! I had decided to put my hair up and show off my lovely eyes. It was along train ride so we all know what that meant:
"Oh come on tell us!" Betty squealed eagerly to hear the story.
"Oh, it's such a long story." Evelyn smirked.
"We got time." Martha grinned.
"I saw it happen!" Barbara happily clapped her hands.
"Well it happened about four weeks ago." Evelyn began telling her romantic story of how she met Danny's best friend Rafe. She knew I knew who Rafe was, of course through Danny. So she turned to me and winked, I giggled and listened to her story.
Four weeks? Has it only been four weeks? Well since she met Rafe, that is. But I had met Danny a lot sooner. She finished her story and it was so beautiful! Of course I knew about because she would constantly be telling me about him, I didn't mind I did the same.
"That's the most romantic story I ever heard." Sandra swooned.
"It's been the best four weeks and two days of my life." Evelyn beamed.
"I'm so jealous." Betty sighed and swooned.
"But I'm no the only one with a love story." Evelyn directed her attention to me, as the girls soon followed.
"I...uh-" My face felt hot! "Well look at that, we are finally in New York City!" I pointed out the window, as the train was slowly stopping.
"Darn!" Betty snapped her fingers. "You better tell us later." she said as I giggled.
I became very anxious once leaving the train. I was the last one to step out, it was with the air still covered in the trains' steam. A man walked towards us, Evelyn walked towards him.
"Lieutenant." Rafe greeted Evelyn.
"Lieutenant." Evelyn smirked.
"Pick a hand." Rafe smiled as he had his hands behind his back. Evelyn picked his right hand as he revealed was it was containing. Rafe opened his hand and gave her an origami crane.
"What's in your other hand?" Evelyn smiled.
"Mine." Rafe showed her. "Well it took me six hours to fold these." He teased, he picked her up and spun her around. Oh, they were so happy together.
"Come on I want you to meet my friends." Evelyn chirped. "This is Martha, Sandra,Barbara, Nora-" She was introducing us as Betty quickly jumped in.
"Hi I'm Betty. Do you happen to have any friends?" Betty quickly shook his hand, causing some laughter on both sides.
"Take your pick." Rafe chuckled as he pointed to his friends. In the far back, I could see Danny nervous and wide eyed as always.
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's party!" Rafe smiled as they all agreed and slowly left, one by one.
I stayed behind...
"Hey stranger." I smiled as those beautiful light brown eyes looked down at me.
"God, I missed you." Danny sounding so cute in his southern accent. We hugged as if it was the last thing we'd ever do, in this lifetime.
"I missed you too, Danny." I replied with a smile. "Should we get going?" I said as he stood there, pensive and quiet. "Is something wrong?" I asked.
"Nah." Danny shook his head. "Nah, lets go." he said as I furrowed my eyebrows and nodded, he quickly searched for my hand and laced his fingers with mine.
"Are you sure, you're okay?" I wanted to make sure.
"Positive." He replied as he laid a warm kiss on my lips.
The whole part of enjoying the night was a fail. Danny sat down the whole time and didn't want to dance or mingle with other people. I was bored but I wanted to be by his side so I didn't complain. However his pensive demeanor was making me uneasy. What could he possibly be thinking of? Later that night the girls began disappearing one by one including Rafe and Evelyn.
"Ya, wanna go outside and talk?" Danny looked at all serious.
"Y-Yeah sure..." I answered. I think I know where this may be leading to...
We grabbed out coats and headed outside to the cold and dark lit night, finding a suitable place to have our conversation. As we found a quiet place near the loading docks my heart was racing so fast, I could of sworn I could hear it. I felt so close to having an emotional meltdown, maybe I was getting a bit ahead of myself but damn.
"I don't know where to start..." Danny's throat felt like it was in complete knots!
"How about the beginning." I replied as he looked up at the dark cloudless sky.
"Rafe got called in to serve with the, REF." Danny clearly wasn't happy about this. How could that be? Rafe is in the US? I thought to myself. "And it made me realize, that I could be next to be asked to leave." There was a pause in his voice. "I don't want to regret anything." he added as in my mind I was already practically hearing those dreadful words, I wasn't ready for. "While you and I were away from each other...there was so much I thought about." Danny was building his way up to what he really wanted to say. Rubbing the back of his neck and taking several deep breaths, he surged forward. "Nora...will you marry me?..." HE PROPOSED!
I gasped as I took a step back. My eyes widened, while I stood there numb in shock, tears began running down.
"Nora, when I was away from you, all I could think about was the day I'd see you again..." Danny trying to reason with me, however I started laughing. "What's so funny?" he raised a brow in confusion.
"I thought you were going to break up with me!" I replied as he wrapped his arms around and joined in the laughter.. "Is that why you were so odd, tonight?" I asked as he looked down at me and nodded.
"Yeah, I kinda didn't know how to ask the question." Danny blushed.
"If it took you all that brain power then I can't say, no." I said as he smiled.
"I couldn't think of any other clever way, I'm sorry." He said as I smiled and shook my head.
"Don't apologize, this was perfect!" I cheered him up as I loved seeing that beautiful gap between his two front teeth, every time he smiled.
Danny wanted Rafe to be present in our quick wedding ceremony before he had leave. We drove up to a small wedding chapel where Rafe and Evelyn met us at, so they could be our witnesses. Danny came prepared as he had already bought wedding bands days prior to this day. They were simple yet they were the best I've ever seen and coming from the man I love they were worth my whole life!
It was all happening!
"In here who gives this groom away?" The Minister asked, looking around.
"I do, Sir." Rafe proudly smiled and stood next to Danny.
"Very well, who here gives this beautiful bride away?" He said.
"I do, Sir." Evelyn smiled and gave me small hug from the side. The Minister nodded and continued with the ceremony.
"Daniel Walker, do you promise to take this woman be your lawful wedded wife, in sickness and in health, for better or for worse. 'Til death do you apart?" The Minister read his tiny book, as Danny looked at me with a loving smile.
"I do." Danny took my hand and placed the band on my ring finger.
"Nora Jane James, do you promise to take this man be your lawful wedded husband, in sickness and in health, for better or for worse. 'Til death do you apart?" The Minister asked me.
"I do." I smiled now taking his hand and placing the matching band on his ring finger.
We took a brief moment to sign our marriage license, as of this moment I am Nora Jane Walker!
"With the power invested in me and in the State of New York, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Everyone please give a warm congratulations to Mr. And Mrs. Walker! Lieutenant, you may now kiss your beautiful bride." The Minister smiled as he finished officiating our nuptuals.
"I love you." Danny said as he slowly kissed my lips. His plumped limps felt like heaven.
"I love you too." I smiled in between the kiss and kissed him once more.
"Well congratulations, you two!" Rafe cheered as he hugged both Danny and myself.
"Thanks, man." Danny grinned.
"I'm so happy for the both of you." Evelyn's calm voice made a smile brew on every ones faces.
"What are we waiting for?! Let's go celebrate!" Rafe kept cheering, we agreed and headed out of the chapel.
For a brief moment Danny's over his best friend seemed to have subsided. Tonight turned out better than anyone could have planned, these turn-out of events changed my life almost instantaneously and I couldn't be happier.
