I looked at the ring that David had given me and remembered how he had proposed. The jewellery box was underneath his graduation cap and when I came over to him with my degree in hand, he had started complaining that his hat was hurting and asked me to check it for him. When he removed his hat and handed it to me; I noticed the box and looked at his face, wondering if it was what I thought it was.
With quivering hands, I opened it, gasping as he got down to his knee and asked me to marry him. I burst into happy tears and said yes, holding my still shaking hand out for him to slide the ring onto my finger. Our families were around us to witness the moment along with a few others from the ceremony, applauding when we kissed each other. It was corny and beautiful and so very David.
As I continued to run along the path, I thought about all the events that had led me to where I was now, my relationship with Christopher, spending time with Elliot and discovering my love for David; it was a difficult and very emotional time, but it got me where I was, so I wouldn't change a thing, not for all the money in the world.
The end.
