"Come on!" Dawn squealed, rushing ahead of him. Paul grinned, shaking his head. He couldn't believe how much Dawn had changed in the twelve short weeks they had known each other. She was more energetic, and MUCH happier.
"What?" he asked, struggling to catch up. Silently, he tried to figure out how she could have convinced him to go hiking. He never managed to keep up with her.
Struggling to keep up, he stared intensely at the beautiful woman before him. He loved her more than it was possible to love someone. In twelve short weeks, they had gone from bitter third wheels to lovers and the best of friends. It was funny what love could do to you.
Love made Paul weak to Dawn's suggestions. It was hard for him to say no to things. For Dawn, love made her strong. She was at her strongest, because of Paul.
Just when Paul thought his feet were going to fall off, they stopped. It was a little brook, small and fast running. It was romantic. It was perfect, for his heart's intentions.
"This look okay?" he asked, hunching over. She nodded, unaware he was rummaging through a pocket, adjacent to his knee.
"It's gorgeous!" Dawn exclaimed. "I have something to tell you,"
"Me, too." Paul grinned, trying to contain his happiness.
"You first," she said, sighing. He removed a small black velvet jewlery box. Going on bended knee, he grasped her hand. "Dawn Marie, you have made me the happiest man alive. Would you give me the honor of being your husband for all eternity?"
"Oh my God! Yes," Dawn squealed. He slid the ring on her finger. Then, she embraced him, grinning.
"What did you want to tell me?"
"I'm pregnant!"
