The Proposal



Photo by Vidya Sury
       If she loves me, she will meet me.  If she doesn’t…well then, my heart will be broken but I will know.    I waited beside the log pacing, a bundle of nerves, rehearsing what I would say, with a diamond ring burning a hole in my pocket.  I loved her.  I wanted her to be my forever.  A twig broke and I whirled around, my heart swelling with love.  She was here, really here!  We smiled at each other as I took her hand into my own.  I presented the ring, knelt on one knee, and proposed.   Tears streaming, she accepted.

    1. Shailaja, yes, I love happy endings! Unfortunately fate doesn't always cooperate. I like to write reality, but every now and then we need a bit of sweetness to brighten up the day and break up all the darkness. Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥

  11. Oh, a happy ending! I think I've been reading too much "dark" fiction; I've become paranoid that every situation will end badly... I half-expected him to be attacked by a swarm of killer bees nesting in the log!

    I like your ending better :)
