Andy took a deep breath of the cool sea air and looked back at Sam. She studied him for a long moment.

This was the last full day here...Andy wasn't sure what to make of him. Sam had been distracted all week. She could tell he was trying hard for her to seem fine but there was an undertone.

He seemed nervous or upset and moody. She had been wracking her brain for anything that might have made him upset but there was nothing. Whenever she asked he would smile and brush it off. Like now.

His eyes met hers and immediately the dimples appeared. Andy wasn't fooled…the smile wasn't in those dark eyes she had grown to love.

"McNally."

Andy smiled. They had decided to take a hike today. The past few days had been full of hiking, tidal rafting and anything else they thought of-all of which Sam had been remarkably good at to Andy's extreme delight.

Andy crouched down and scratched behind Boo Radley's ears as the pup came running back from one his exploration expeditions.

She wished Sam would tell her what in the world was eating at him. Sam watched her for a long moment before motioning that they continue. Andy gave the puppy one last scratch before she nodded and continued walking.

Boo Radley bounded off again as they entered the forest. Andy kept glancing at the round. It had been raining every day at least somewhat and the uneven ground was hard to walk on.

Sam was not watching where he was going.

He was so far gone in his mind that it was all he could do to stay on the path.

He was nervous…more nervous than he had ever been in his life.

And he was scared-more like petrified.

He glanced at Andy and felt like kicking himself knowing the worry he was causing her when all he wanted was for her to have fun.

This is ridiculous.

Sam tried to reason; he glanced at Andy again and felt his heart lurch into his chest.

Sam gritted his teeth, shook his head and took a deep breath.

Andy whirled as Sam tripped, he tried to gain his balance but he was too far tilted and landed on the ground on his knees. Andy rushed to his side and bent down.

"Sam! Sam are you ok?"

Sam winced and pulled himself up on one knee. Andy searched his eyes frantically wondering how hurt he was. Sam fidgeted for a moment and then his eyes met hers.

"Are you ok?"

"Andy."

Andy almost shivered at the tenderness in his voice. She glanced down realizing he had something in his hand.

Her heart stopped.

A small velvet box with a ring in it.

Andy's eyes searched Sam's intently. He swallowed and licked his lips before saying anything.

"Andy…I love you. I do."

He swallowed again.

"I don't have five and fifteen year plans but I want to, with you… I want to be normal with you. I want to go to park on Sunday's with you. I want to have kids with you. Andy…I want to marry you. I want you to be my wife."

Sam licked his lips again.

"I bought this ring for you Andy, you can ask Oliver…or Traci or Peck…it was never for anyone before and I've never done this before…Andy…Andy, will you marry me?"

Andy licked her lips and a tear rolled down her cheek.

She stood quickly and swallowed hard.

"Stand up Swarek."

Sam felt his heart stop as he quickly stood.

She was going to say no. He should have known he wasn't good-

And then she was in his arms. She had wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. Sam staggered backward before he caught himself. His mind was doing overtime as Andy kissed him passionately. He returned her kiss then suddenly pulled back and held her face in his hands.

"Andy?"

She was laughing and crying now.

"YES! Yes, yes, yes! I will marry you Sam Swarek and I can't wait to be your wife!"

Sam beamed at her. He pulled her into a hug and then quickly set her down and gently took her hand.

He just smiled at her as slid the ring onto her finger. Andy couldn't stop smiling.

"I love you Sam. I LOVE YOU, and I AM GOING TO MARRY YOU!"

Sam caught her as she wrapped her arms around him again.

He was kissing her-really really kissing her-and the only thing in his mind was that Andy McNally, the woman he had dreamed of for years but never believed he would truly have; Andy, his Andy was going to marry him. He had never been so happy.
