All my wildest dreams came true...(Norah Jones)



Wow.

He asked me if I wanted to go for a walk, and I suspected he wanted to do just that: walk. It was not at all out of the ordinary to go for a walk with Andrew at one o'clock on a Saturday morning.




We went back to his apartment first, so he could get his hat and an extra sweater for me to borrow for a little while. He came out of his apartment a few minutes after he had gone into it, I donned his sweater, took his arm, and off we went.

We stopped. We sat (in the place where we typically end up sitting when we go for our walks). We were silent for a few minutes. Then, he asked me about my plans for this weekend, and if I had a terrible lot of work to do. I told him there was a lot to do, but it could be managed if I concentrated hard enough. He looked at me and said he was going to do something that may put a crimp in my plans.


I didn't think a whole lot of this, until he rose from his place beside me, saying he had a question to ask.


He got down on one knee.


I thought he was teasing me.


He wasn't.


I cried.


He asked.


I said yes (and cried some more...)


You are everything I ask for in my prayers,
so I know my angels brought you to my life.
You are an inspiration to my life.
You are the reason why I smile.
You are a beautiful surprise/ - India.Arie
