The next place Jack took Sue was to the fountain in the park. Jack would often take his runs in this park and he knew that it was well lit at night. There were a few people around, walking and playing. They walked together holding hands. When they stopped in front of the fountain, Jack turned to Sue and signed. 'Have you ever made a wish here before?'
Sue shook her head, and she looked down into the fountain noticing all the coins at the bottom.
Jack pulled out a coin from his pocket and gave it to Sue. "Do you want to make a wish?"
Sue's eyes brightened and she smiled at him. She felt like a young girl again. She took the coin from Jack, her back towards the fountain. She closed her eyes making her wish. What I wish for most is to marry Jack and be with him forever, she thought to herself. Sue threw the coin over her shoulder, hoping her wish would come true. When she opened her eyes, Jack was grinning at her. "What did you wish for?"
"I can't tell you, it won't come true if I do." She said.
Jack chuckled. "Okay, I'm going to give it a try." He pulled out another coin and wished silently to himself. I wish that Sue will say yes when I ask her to marry me. He threw the coin over his shoulder, hearing it hit the water.
"I don't suppose your going to tell me your wish?" Sue asked, nudging his arm.
"Nope." He said, and pulled her close. Her hands slipped inside his suit jacket. He was so warm, even though the night was cool. Jack's hands slid up her arms as he lowered his lips to hers. He ran his tongue along her bottom lip, gently coaxing her lips apart. Her tongue met his as he deepened the kiss. Long minutes passed as they continued to kiss each other.
When they pulled apart it took a few minutes until they caught their breaths. Jack gazed deeply into Sue's eyes becoming serious. He motioned for her to sit on the edge of the fountain. Jack went down on one knee in front of her, and he pulled out the small box that was in his jacket pocket. Sue's eyes widened in surprise. Jack opened the box revealing the beautiful diamond solitaire ring inside. Jack looked up into her eyes. "Sue, I love you with all my heart. Will you marry me?"
Sue gasped in surprise, not expecting this at all. "Yes, of course I'll marry you Jack. I love you so much."
Jack slipped the ring on her finger and pulled her up with him. She threw her arms around him and he picked her up twirling her around.
