(Author's note; I am starting to write a new fanfic story set 3 more years in the future, where Ephram and Madison will have been married for a year and they live in New York. Ephram is going to school now at Julliard on a full scholarship and Madison working full time at her old job. I will still be writing this fanfic here, and it will tie into the one I plan on writing. Here is a piece between this story and that story, So you'll know how they get to where they are now)
~~Flash-Back/Future scene~~
A senior in college, Ephram Brown makes a decision that could change his life forever. Julliard has enrolled him for the following semester after he graduates this semester and they have promised him a job with the Mandolin Orchestra. He was planning on moving to New York in July but was very nervous as to how he would tell Madison. One night,
While eating in a fancy, yet romantic restaurant, Ephram and Madison sat across from each other, eating and talking.
"Ephram, what's wrong with you?" asked Madison as she put her utensils down and smiled, "you've been acting so odd for the passed few days. You look like you're gonna fall over and die."
Ephram barely looked up, "Well, if it makes you feel any better…I feel as if I'm going to hurl." He took a deep breath then looked at Madison who was tilting her head with an inquisitive look.
Ephram said, "You know how Julliard has sought me out for over a couple years now, right?"
Madison nodded, still inquisitive.
"Well…" he swallowed hard, "you know how we've been together for two years now…" he started breathing heavy, wiping his forehead, "I've been thinking that we could use a change…"
A smile slowly crept over Madison's face, "Ephram…did you bring me here to break up with me?"
He exhaled quickly, "no! Oh my god, no! " and his eyes became wide, "let me just finish what I have to say before I hyperventilate!" He nodded towards the maestro, then not too long after, "breathless" could be heard softly in the background.
Madison looked around confused, then gave him an amused look as if to say, 'go on'.
"You are my world, Madison, you know that…I'm, um…moving to New York in July and…" he stood up and made his way over to her then got on one knee, "I want you to come with me. I want you to be in my life for the rest of my life…Madison Kellner…Will you marry me?" and he extended his hand with an opened box with a ring in it. Madison covered her face, she was smiling ear to ear and tears formed in her eyes. All she could do was grab his neck and pull him to her in a hug, "Oh my god, Ephram! Yes, of course I'll marry you."
~~End Flash-back/Future scene/story~~
(Author's note; now, when I start the new fanfic, they will have been married for a year and living in New York…Hopefully it comes out as well as I am hoping. Tell me what you think of this 'lead in' if you will…..THANKS!!!
