A Surprise for Shea Lee

The next day, Bo went to the hospital to be with Luke. He sat there holding his hand talking to him to wake up.

"Come on cousin wake up please," pleaded Bo.

Luke's eyes remained closed. Bo went to get some coffee. While Bo was gone, Shea Lee sneaked in. She stood by Luke's bed.

"Hi Luke. Listen I just wanted to say that I'm leaving town. And if you never want to see or hear from me again, I understand," said Shea Lee.

She got ready to leave, when something grabbed her hand. She looked up and saw Luke's blue eyes looking at her.

"Don't leave Shea Lee. I love you," said Luke.

Shea Lee leaned down and kissed Luke. Bo came back in the room and saw this.

"Well it's about time," he said.

The three of them laughed. Luke got to go home the next night. A few nights later, Luke took Shea Lee out to the Boars Nest. They started dancing to "Bless the Broken Road," By Rascal Flatts. Luke started whispering the song to Shea Lee.

Every long lost dream, lead me to where you are.

Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars.

Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms.

This much I know is true.

Yeah God bless the broken road that lead me straight to you.

Now I'm just rolling home into my lover's arms.

This much I know is true.

Yeah God bless the broken road that lead me straight to you.

Yeah God bless the broken road that lead me straight to you.

Luke lead Shea Lee back to the table. They sat in silence for awhile. Luke finally broke it.

"Shea Lee I just wanted to say I love you so much. I never meant to hurt you like I did. I just want to spend the rest of my life with you," said Luke.

Luke got down on one knee and pulled out a box.

"Shea Lee will you marry me?" asked Luke opening the box to show a diamond ring.

Shea Lee looked at him with tearful eyes.

"Yes," she said.

Luke slipped the ring on her finger and they kissed.
