The End of the End
~The Real Epilogue~
Luke took me out for a walk one chilly yet warm mid-October day, up to the hill hanging off the cliff (with a fence around the edge of course), where he said he wanted to show me something.
"I like this leaf!" I shouted up to him, showing him a small maple leaf I had picked up from the ground."Isn't beautiful?"
He breathed in the fresh scent of early October air. "Yes. Yes it is. And so is the sea, and the ocean, and everything else that nature provides..."
"Mmmmm…" I also breathed in. "Oh! I like this leaf! See, I love the colors! Do you like it?"
He quietly laughed and stroked my hair.
"Yes I do, but you are the most beautiful Leaf of them all. I love you."
"I love you too. Now what did you want to show me?" I asked him when we got to the top.
He smiled slightly.
Then reached into his pocket.
Then got on one knee.
And pulled out a little box.
