Chapter 13
The next morning Theresa felt free. For the first time in her life she felt alive.
Ethan woke. But he was alone. It was a feeling that scared him the most in the world. Where was Theresa? The millions of thought that flooded his mind in the tiny second scared him to death.
Ethan- "Theresa?"
Theresa- "I'm right here, Ethan."
Relief. He looked over and saw Theresa standing by the window.
Theresa- "Sorry, I didn't want to wake you."
Ethan- "It's okay. Get over here."
Theresa went over and slipped into Ethan's strong arms.
Theresa- "Ethan, is this real? Are we really together?"
Ethan kissed her forehead.
Ethan- "Yes, this is real. It's great, isn't it?"
Theresa- "Yeah, and so were you."
Theresa looks up at Ethan and smiles. He smiles back.
Ethan- "You too."
They fall back into passion.
Ethan breaks away.
Ethan- "Theresa, before this goes any farther, I have something that I wanted to ask you."
Theresa- "What?"
Ethan reaches under the covers and pulls out a little velvet box. He opens it and shows its contents to Theresa. Her eyes widen.
Ethan- "Theresa, last night I thought that I was going to lose you. You have no idea how much that scared me. And this morning when I woke up alone, I can't even explain the fear that I felt. Theresa, I want to know that everyday when I wake up that you will be there. I want to know that we will be together forever. I want to have that family with you that we always dreamed about. Theresa, will you be my wife?"
Theresa- "First, I have a question."
Ethan- "A question?"
Theresa- "Yes, a question. Where did you get that ring?"
Ethan- "I brought it with me yesterday."
Theresa- "Yesterday? But I was leaving yesterday."
Ethan- "I know, but I guess I always knew in my heart that you wouldn't leave. Fate told me that we would be together, and I just wanted to be prepared. Oh, but you don't believe in Fate anymore, right?"
Theresa- "No, I think that my faith was just restored."
He kisses her.
Ethan- "Theresa, will you marry me? Will you be my wife?"
Theresa- "Under one condition."
Ethan- "Anything."
Theresa- "Kiss me."
Ethan did just that.
