1"Where is she? Where the hell did she go?"
"Calm down!"
"No! I can't calm down! I won't calm down! Where the hell is she?"
When he woke up, he saw her laying there, sleeping peacefully. She always looked so beautiful when she slept. And when she was awake. He never believed it was possible to love anyone as much as he loved her. He hadn't even believed in love before he met her. For twenty-one years of his twenty-three year life, he never believed in love. Lust he's believed in, he'd seen that close to every night. But love? It never even crossed his mind. He'd planned to go wild all through college, then settle down with whomever his parents wanted him to, as long as he felt at least some lust for her. And if it wasn't enough, hell, she'd never notice if he took a three-day weekend when he didn't need to now and then. But none of that would be good enough now. He had Rory, and she, although unplanned, was the one thing that made him truly happy now. He wanted nothing more than to make her happy, yet she was slipping away, he could feel it. She hadn't been all there around him since he asked her to marry him. He wanted to think it was because she was imagining their wedding, planning their life together, but he knew that was just wishful thinking. She seemed too sad, and withdrawn. She was having doubts. He wasn't making her happy. That was all he wanted, goddamn it! He'd do anything for her, anything! He'd even take her to her hometown, although the whole town scared him half to death! That would make her happy! He'd even go into Doose's Market, the scariest place on Earth. Because she knew he was terrified of Taylor, and she always loved laughing at him whenever they ran into him. He wanted to hear her laugh again, even if it was at his expense.
