Chapter 38
"Where are we going?" Audrey asked.
"It's a surprise," Jack said.
"Can I have a hint?" Audrey asked.
"No," Jack said. "I'd just end up giving it away."
Audrey smiled and closed her eyes as Jack kept driving. When he stopped, they got out and Audrey was amazed. In front of them was a huge garden. Jack led her inside. There were all sorts of flowers and plants arranged perfectly.
"Do you remember this place?" Jack asked.
"Vaguely. You took me here once a long time ago," Audrey said, walking with Jack deeper into the garden.
"Yeah," Jack said. "It was about five months after we started dating."
"I think I remember you saying how it is almost as beautiful as I am," Audrey said, with a laugh.
"I did say that," Jack said. "But, that was wrong. You're so much prettier."
"You're so sweet," Audrey said, rolling her eyes. Jack sat her down on one of the marble benches in the center of the garden.
"And, right here," Jack said, indicating the spot they were in. "Was where I realized that I was going to fall madly in love with you."
"Really?" Audrey asked. "Then why didn't you say it back to me when I said I loved you?"
"A couple reasons," Jack explained. "First, you shocked me. Second, you were married. And, third, I had been trying to deny it because I didn't think it was okay to love you after Teri died. And, maybe I was trying to make you feel a little nervous that I wouldn't say it back."
"Well, it worked," Audrey said. She smiled which made Jack not able to wait any longer.
"Will you marry me?" Jack asked, showing her the ring.
"Of course!" Audrey said, excitedly. She moved closer to him and kissed him passionately.
