I squinted as the light turned green at that floating pink thing. And now that I was driving again, I saw that there were a few of them lining the street. Someone was holding each of them. "Seriously Emily, what's going on?" I slowed down, because there was no one behind me, so I could get a better look at those pink things.

"I don't know" Emily said with a little shrug.

"Liar" I muttered. As we got closer, I slowed down even more and I began to recognize the tan guy holding the pink paper. "Seth?"

I slowed to a stop and rolled down Emily's window. "Seth? What are you doing?" I called.

He said nothing but smiled at me and did a little twist with his sign. So I looked down and noticed that there were bold, black letters on the pink paper. Emma, it said.

"Took you long enough" Seth teased.

I rolled my eyes. "So what's with the sign?"

Seth looked down as if he forgot that he was even carrying one. "Oh, right." And then he flipped the sign over for another message. Keep driving.

"You couldn't have just told me?"

Seth gave Emily a look and she nudged me elbow. I rolled my eyes. "Alright fine. Bye Seth." I rolled the window back up and started driving again. But I didn't go fast because I caught the sight of another pink sign.

"Hello Quill" I called as I rolled down the window. He nodded and held his sign up higher because I couldn't see it before. Will you…

Quill flipped his sign as Seth had. "Keep driving" I laughed and said another goodbye.

"So what's going on here Emily? I've got Emma, will you. What comes next? What's going on here?"

Emily laughed. "You're not very patient Em. Just keep driving and you'll figure it out" she said.

I sighed and kept driving. We were very close to the beach now. In fact, the street was beginning to blend with the sand. The sky was grey, but from what I could see of the ocean, it would still be a beautiful day to walk along the sand. Maybe I would when we get back.

That is, if these signs don't lead me to the next state. What the heck is going on? I hoped it was what I thought it might be, but that seemed pretty improbable. I was more surprised that these were for me and not Emily. This seemed like something Sam might do for his bride-to-be.

I caught sight of the next one. It was Embry holding this one. Go… That's all I got. And before I could even roll down the window, he flipped his sign over. "Keep driving, I know" I laughed and didn't even slow down. I just waved to Embry and continued on.

I almost drove past the next sign because I was so busy trying to figure out why someone was taking the time to make these signs and have me drive by them. I slammed on the brakes sending both Emily and I flying forward until our seatbelts stopped us. When I rolled down the window, Sam had taken two steps back. "I'm not sure I want you driving anymore" he said.

"I just got a little distracted" I admitted.

"Which is why Emily should be driving" he shot back with a smile.

Emily reached out and slapped his arm. "Leave her alone Sam" she laughed.

While the two of them were chatting, I leaned forward and read Sam's sign. To…

I sighed and Sam smiled at me. "I think you know what to do now" he said.

I nodded. "Yeah, I got it. Keep driving" I laughed. I was about to keep driving but Emily reached for the door. "Where are you going?" I asked.

Sam helped her down and pulled her into his arms. "This is where I get out" she said and closed the door behind her.

"You're leaving me?" I asked. I was a little scared to keep going on my own. I had no idea what to expect and I wanted her there. She's my best friend after all.

"Sorry Em. But don't worry, you're almost there" she assured me. I nodded and waved goodbye. And then I was on my way to the last sign. It was beginning to rain so I flipped on the lights and the wipers. The rain was coming down fast and I was losing sight of the pink sign. I was squinting when I finally pulled over.

Because of the rain, I couldn't read the sign or see who was holding it. I stepped out of the car and moved towards the sign. I was soaked within seconds. The rain was cold and chilled my skin. I shielded my eyes with my hand and squinted into the rain.

"Jake?" I asked. He stepped closer so I could see him. He was drenched as well.

"Hey Em" he smiled.

I smiled as well. "What's going on here?" I laughed.

"You'll just have to read my sign" he said and held it up for me to see.

Prom.

Emma will you go to prom…

"Jake?" I gasped.

"Hang on" he said and flipped his sign as well. He read it for me, and it was a good thing he did because I could hardly see with the rain and my blurry eyes. "Will you go to prom with me?" he asked.

I didn't even have to think. I jumped up and tackled him. Jake stumbled but quickly caught his balance. "Absolutely yes!" I said and kissed him straight on the lips. Jake smiled into the kiss and kissed me back hungrily and powerfully.

"I love you" he whispered huskily in my ear. I had never heard his voice get this way. I loved it.

"I love you too. So much" I breathed.

"We're going to need to get you a dress" he laughed. I wrapped my legs around his waist and threw my head back with laughter.

"That's going to be difficult. Do you want to help with this?"

Jacob nodded rather enthusiastically. "Of course I do."

"You're incredible" I told him and pecked his lips. "And very creative. But I think there was one flaw to your way of asking me."

His eyebrows creased. "What is it?"

I glanced down at his hand that was still holding the poster. "The marker bled off and now I have your handprint in black marker on my thigh."
