You both graduated with high grades and you had moved in with him. Then one day you got back home from your part-time job and you saw Ivan holding his head in his hands, his body shaking viciously.
"Ivan! What's the matter!" You exclaimed worriedly.
"My green-card…it's a fake! I just found out…and now I'm going to be deported tomorrow!" He sobbed.
"Oh Ivan! That's terrible!" You said and flung your arms around him trying to comfort him.
A week later you stood with him at the airport, and he was just about to board the plane when you hugged him tight and said, "Wait! Don't go! I'm scared Ivan! Not just for you but for me! What am I going to do without you? I don't want to let you go! What if I suffer from temporary insanity? What if I do what I would've done ages ago?"
Ivan held you tight and kissed you, "I will come back, I promise."
"Isn't there anything I can do?" You said desperately.
Then he thought about it and said, "There is one…" He knelt down and whipped out a black velvet box, "I was going to wait for the right time, but this seems the best time to do it, would you _, take my hand in marriage?"
You blinked back tears of joy now, "Yes! Yes!" You exclaimed.
You were both saved! He wouldn't have to get deported and you could both live your lives together.
