7. Eternity
Eternity was a really long time. The fact that, that is a major understatement is unimportant. The thing was, Wilson had problems with words like 'eternity' and 'forever'.
He hadn't always, but three divorces sort of kills the whole 'happily ever after' thing. Since his last divorce and Amber's death he has avoided any commitment that went past the foreseeable future. Too far away and Jimmy would be running for the hills.
Which is all evidence that what I had just done was really, really stupid.
I was waiting for the dash and a cartoony cloud of dust, and at this point I was starting to hope he would hurry because my leg was killing me. Hey, here's a bit of advice- if you ever have most of the muscles in your thigh removed, don't get down on one knee to propose to your best friend. Although, you should probably try to avoid the removal of muscle part to begin with.
Anyway, Wilson was still just standing there gaping at me. I decided to hurry him up, "Listen, one word answer. Yes or No. But hurry 'cause my leg hurts like hell."
Wilson immediately looked apologetic and helped me up, and kissed me sweetly.
"Is that a yes?" I asked with a smirk when he pulled back.
He nodded and took the engagement ring out of the box and slid it on.
So maybe Jimmy could still handle eternity.
