They spent the next few days together, going on long walks, holding hands, everything that they both ever really wanted. Seth could not stop thinking that he had to go back on the road. Although he loved wrestling, he knew this is where he really wanted to be.
"It's ok…you come visit me and I come visit you and we'll make sure we see each other as much as possible. I'll text you sexy stuff at awkward times and it will all be great" Ellie smiled trying to make him feel better.
Seth laughed
"Makes me want to leave for a few hours just to get one of those texts" He kissed her
Ellie laughed
"Ok ..I got to go to work" Ellie kissed him and got up
"BOOOO!" Seth laughed
"Chicago can't get their news without me, Mr. Rollins" She kissed him again and left to work
Seth had some time to think while she was gone and he decided to have a romantic surprise for her. He ordered some food and found some candles setting up a nice romantic dinner for when she came back.
Ellie walked in the door that night and looked around
"babe! You did this? all gimpy? You should have been resting" She kissed him
Seth laughed
"Gimpy?! You are so sweet" he smiled "I wanted to surprise you. Our last night together before I go back on the road"
Ellie tried to hide her sadness and smiled
"It's so beautiful…thank you!"
They sat down and enjoyed their romantic meal.
"ok I have thought of doing this for a very long time, and in none of the scenarios of my head was I all "Gimpy" but I will do my best" Seth got up
Ellie looked at him puzzled
"What are you doing?" Ellie tried to help him
"I can do it.." Seth said stopping her
Seth struggled to get down on one knee
"Seth.." Ellie covered her mouth with her hands
" Elizabeth, will you make me the happiest man in the world and finally Marry me? " Seth looked at her
Ellie was shocked "Oh my God…YES!" She jumped up and hugged him
"Ouch.." Seth laughed and put the ring on her, smiling
"Sorry sorry!" Ellie kissed him and hugged him again.
Seth held on to her and was the happiest he had ever been. He knew the road would be hard, but everything would be ok because she would be there waiting for him when he got back.
