High school is over now.
For whatever reason, my mom didn't have us move this time.
Oliver reacted kindly. I think he knew the whole time that I really had feelings for Len. I have to admit I feel bad for leaving him like that, but at the same time relieved I ended up with Len.
Len and I have both been to college now. It was a very emotional goodbye, and then we had a long distance relationship going on.
Today is the first day since college started that we see each other. We're meeting in the same park, and then going to a café downtown for some food, although we'll probably ditch that and just be happy we're spending time together again.
I sit in the same place. There are a few children here with their parents this time. I remember the first time we told each other.
Len walks into the park and I can feel my heart beating faster. It's like suddenly, everything has exploded the moment I jump into his arms and we laugh and cry and enjoy time together.
We did end up going to the café and having a long conversation over life. College, jobs. Even though we video chatted almost every night, we're still telling everything again.
"Rin?"
"Yes?"
"I have a surprise for you," He says, grabbing my hands in his. "We're going on a carriage ride." I smile and nod.
He brings me to a beautiful carriage with snow white horses pulling it, and helps me up into it, with him following. We ride for a long time around the city, me leaning into his chest, him playing with my hair. It's dark now and the street lights are on, a few people walking along the sidewalk.
Suddenly, the carriage stops, and I start to worry. I sit up and look at Len. He smiles and grabs my hands, bringing me out of the carriage so we stand on the sidewalk.
"Rin,"
"Yes?"
He pulls a small box of his hand and gets on one knee, popping the box open and holding it out to me. "Will you marry me?"
I start to cry tears of happiness, right there. I nod and smile, looking like a mess. I repeat the word, "Yes," as he stands up and slips the diamond ring onto my finger. He wraps his arms around me, and I wrap my arms around him.
"Rin?"
"Yes?"
"I love you,"
"I love you, too, Len."
