Paul nervously checked his watch. Six o'clock was fastly approaching. He had never been so nervous. What was going on? Why was Dawn making him so nervous?
Everything was perfect. The wine was chilled. The lights were dim. Dinner was prepared. Now, the only thing missing was Dawn herself.
Despite his best efforts, he had fallen head over heels in love. He had only known her six short weeks but he already knew he would spend the rest of his life with her.
He was frightened by how in love he was. Dawn never left his mind. She was the first thing on his mind in the morning. She was the last thing on his mind at night. He had never known you could love someone so much.
He jumped as he heard her key card in the door. This was it. He was going to confess his love. He took several deep breaths and met her at the door.
Dawn stumbled in. Her eyes were red. Her face was tear-stained. It was obvious she had been crying. Immediatly, she collapsed in his arms.
"What's wrong?" he cooed, rubbing her back. She sniffled softly. Then, she coughed. Finally, she glanced into his eyes.
"I was at the hospital with Jackie," she murmured, shaking violently. "She had a miscarriage,"
The words seemed foreign on her tongue. Why? Paul was then reminded of how little he knew about the woman he loved.
"Did that upset you?" he asked, trying his best to comfort her.
"Rene," The words seemed hard to get out. Paul nodded. Rene Dupree was her ex-fiance. "He broke up with me because I suffered a miscarriage,"
Paul gasped softly. No wonder she was so hard to reach. She had been hurt beyond belief for something that was beyond her control.
"Babe, this might be a wrong time to say this," He took her by the hand. He turned the CD player on.
The opening chords of Keith Urban's song "Your Everything" began to play. Tenderly, Paul slid his arm around her waist. She leaned her head on his shoulder.
He began to whisper the lyrics in her ear.
The
first time I looked in your eyes I knew
That I would do anything
for you
The first time you touched my face I felt
Like I've
never felt with anyone else
"I love you," he whispered, glancing into her eyes. Tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn't believe he loved her. Her heart held a bigger secret. She couldn't believe it.
As much as she had been hurt in the past, she was aware of one thing.
How much she loved him.
