Notes: Thank you SO much to everyone who reviewed! You have no idea how much I appreciate it (okay, so the fact that I kind of blackmailed you into it might give you some idea, but still...lol).
Maybe, Chapter 4
I sit there in absolute stillness for a couple seconds, staring straight ahead. My eyes are open, but I don't see anything. Did I really just say that? It's hard to tell, considering I've been practicing it over and over in my head since we got here. But if the look on her face is any indication, I did.
So much for perfect.
An entire minute passes and we just stare at each other. Apparently I was wrong earlier about her not being rendered speechless.
Then an idea pops into my head; I can only pray that it will work.
I slide off the seat and onto one knee. Pulling the ring from my pocket, I open the box. Her eyes are following my every move. I can feel my hands shaking.
As I look into her beautiful eyes, shimmering with tears and love, I forget my speech. But I go ahead anyway.
"Catherine, I had a speech planned, but you know how terrible I am at them. All I can say is that I love you, and you are the best thing that ever happened to me. Will you marry me?"
Please say yes. Oh please, say yes.
She nods.
I suddenly have the oddest sensation of euphoria mixed with disbelief. I slide the ring onto her finger, and we kiss.
The other people in the room applaud, but I don't really hear them. Right now, we are lost in each other.
--
Wow. I can't believe I didn't see this coming. I mean, I suspected something, but not this.
The ring is on my finger, we are kissing, and I still can't believe it.
Although considering I'm marrying the man of my dreams - literally - I'm pretty sure it will sink in sooner or later.
Just maybe.
The End (Sorry for the abrupt ending. Please review!)
