The Tides Turn:
Epilogue
One Year Later
Sakura was awaken in the middle of the night by the noise of the phone ringing. 'Now who in the world?'
She reached out with her hand and picked up the reciever. "Hello?" She moaned.
"Sakura. Meet me at the beech in an hour." A voice said on the other line.
"Li? Why? It's.." She glanced at her clock. "...four in the morning."
"I know, but please?" He asked.
She sighed. She never could say no to him. "Alright." He hung up before she could say anything else. She put down the phone and sat up. She stretched her arms and let out a big yawn. 'Now what could Li want at this time?' She thought.
Sakura got up and went to the bathroom. She needed to at least be presentable when she got there.
After getting ready Sakura went outside her apartment and locked the door. She was glad she had her own place now. She didn't have to worry about Tori waking her up in the morning.
Sakura started towards the beech. She had many memories of that place. She couldn't remember everything that had happened when she was under Brilan's spell, but she remembered what happened when she was set free.
She had seen Li there. Taller, broader shoulders, but the same hair and eyes she fell in love with before her captor.
She had trouble getting back to a normal life after being dead for seven years, but her friends and family had helped her. Especially Li. Sakura and he had started to date all over again. He grew up so much, but then again, so did she.
Sakura got to the beech and looked down at what she was wearing. She had decided to wear some simple blue geans and a light purple top that Li had given her about six months ago.
She looked around, but couldn't find Li. Then she spotted him, near the overhang that led down to the shore below. That had been the spot of Brilan's downfall.
She approached slowly behind Li. She was a few feet away when his head came up. "Thank you for coming." He said then he turned around.
She smiled and walked up to give him a hug. He smiled and returned the hug. "Now what is this all about!" She asked.
He smiled and took both her hands in his. "Eight years ago, I told you I loved you. Then you were taken away from me and I feel apart. A year ago I was blessed with your return to me."
Sakura smiled. Where was he going with this?
He continued. "When we first started dating to now, I find myself falling in love with you all over again." He pause. "I also found out that I did break my promise to you and I want to be sure I'm there whenever you need me. To make sure that your safe."
Sakura felt a tear roll down her cheek, but she ignored it and kept staring into his amber eyes.
Li met her gaze, but started to benmd down onto one knee. "I want to ensure I'll be there for you always. So I brought you here to ask......will you marry me?"
Sakura opened her mouth in shock, but soon covered it. Li dug inside his pocket and brought out a diamond ring. She cried openly now. When she finally found the words to speak, she said. "Yes! I will!"
He smiled and put the ring on her finger. She smiled and he got up to hold her in a long embrace.
"I love you Sakura." Li said.
"I love you too Li. Forever and always." She replied.
