I've been having nightmares about these damn exams all week. I hate taking exams.

I've decided tonight, I'm going to be comfortable.

No desk, no kitchen table … I'm sitting in our king size bed, snuggled in a down comforter, music streaming from the stereo speakers ... I take a deep breath and look at the book.

Has accounting always been so boring?

I throw myself back onto the bed. I really need to study.

A noise from the hallway grabs my attention and Edward walks in holding a tray.

I sit up quickly and watch him.

He picks up a flat sheet and sets it on the bed.

"Move over," he says.

So I angle myself a little, moving my books to the night stand.

He places the tray in front of me, shakes out the sheet and then switches off the lamps before sitting across from me.

He throws the sheet up in the air and it slowly falls over us, reminding me of a parachute.

He flips a little switch and a battery operated candle lights up.

I can't help but smile at him.

"What are you doing?"

"Well," he says, picking up a slice of strawberry and dipping it in cream. "I know you are stressing out about this test, so I figured you needed a little break." He holds up the strawberry to my lips and feeds it to me with a smile.

I moan, "that's so good."

He pops a strawberry in his mouth and nods.

A Ray LaMontagne song starts to play and Edward closes his eyes with a smile. "This song always makes me think of you."

I tilt my head and listen.

Someday

I'd like

To take a walk with you

And talk about most anything

You'd like to talk about

"Why this song?"

He shrugs and feeds me another slice of strawberry.

"When I first met you," he looks at me through his eyelashes and shakes his head. "You scared the shit out of me."

I frown.

"I just … I knew you were different. When I took your hand to say hello, I imagined things that I didn't even know I would ever want."

I smile and lean toward him. "When we met, my whole body vibrated, I felt like I'd been electrocuted. You were so … beautiful and cocky. I wanted to kiss you and punch you in the face at the same time."

He laughs. "Yeah? So violent."

I can't help but laugh.

I pick up a peach slice and dip it in the cream, offering it to him.

"But I also knew that if I spent one more minute with you, I'd be in love forever."

He gives me a shy smile and leans in for a kiss.

"Forever," he whispers.

My eyes are on his until something shiny flashes in the light, grabbing my attention.

There, between his fingers, is a ring.

A diamond ring.

My eyes water.

"Isabella, baby, I love you. Marry me?"
