“I said, ‘Can you believe it?’
He said, ‘Believe what?”
‘All the crazy, cruel things people do to each other. Maybe I’m slow, but I just don’t get it.’ I glanced back at the news.
He looked at me, blue eyes twinkling, and slid off of the couch. I thought he was going to put his head in my lap, like usual, but he surprised me. He got up on one knee and reached into his pocket, saying,
‘No, I don’t understand, either. And I don’t want to. All I want is to be with you, forever, and never hurt you. I’ll do my best to protect you from this crazy, cruel world- if you’ll let me. I want you- to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, as long as we both shall live. Will you marry me?’ he concluded, opening the tiny purple velvet box from his pocket, revealing a beatiful silver ring with a diamond. I fell to the floor beside him, tears streaming down my face. I just kept nodding, over and over, embracing him, and I kissed him, hard. I pulled back and he put the ring on my left ring finger, pulled me into his lap, and held me tightly.”
