Marissa is finally back on her own two feet and feeling like her old self again while Ryan is thrilled for the fact that his girlfriend is no longer in excruciating pain anymore. Ryan had this great idea to go to the beach together, he knows how much Marissa loves the beach and god knows how long it had been since they have been there. He figured it was a great way to celebrate Marissa's homecoming as well as the beginning of summer. They went to their favorite spot, the lifeguard stand sitting there for a while just enjoying the company of one another. Ryan broke the comforting silence that had been exchanged between the two. "Riss, can I ask you something?" He said his voice a little hesitant. She nodded in response and he continued. "Do you love me?" "Of course I do." Ryan nodded and stood up taking her hand in his. He kneeled down beside her as he put his hand in his pocket briefly. He took out a little box, turned to face her and began to speak again, "Riss, I love you with all my heart and I always have from the moment I first laid eyes on you in your driveway that night I arrived at the Cohen's. I never thought I would see the day that I found someone in my life like you to spend the rest of my life with. That I would ever want to…. What I am trying to ask you is: would you please do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Marissa gasped out a "yes" as tears of both joy and shock ran down her angelic cheeks. They kissed passionately then sat down on as they watched the sun go down in complete bliss of a newly engaged couple.
