Well it's been a crazy week, lots of rain and working! Happy to do it though.
Well, I've been working on a new project, it's going well, a little slower in pace however.
Guess I'm going to have to step up the pace...
Here's a little taste:
He looked over at his love, wearily.
He didn't want to face rejection on this particular day. He had thought long and hard about what he'd say, how he'd say it...
"What's wrong?"
He sulked "Nothing"
"It's written all over your face, just tell me"
"I need to take a walk, I love this cafe as much as you, but I really need some space"
"Are you angry with me?"
"No, why would you even think so?"
"Your demeanor is a little...well off"
"Just walk beside me baby"
"Sure, where are we going?"
"Why do you always need to know?"
"OKay I don't. Happy?"
"No, I wish you'd trust me with entirety"
"Where is this coming from? You know that I do, I was just asking"
"Well I'm not telling you, now come on beautiful"
The pair walked along the cobblestone. Paris was so incredibly breathtaking this time of year...
The nearby river was still swollen from the recent rains, the trees had begun releasing their leaves recklessly into the wind. She was delighted to be showered by them.
He took notice, hell he took notice of everything that she reacted to...
finally he reached the place where he had intended, the steps of the local Cathedral.
She stood there, stoicly, wondering why
"Are we going to church?"
"Nope"
"Going to tell me?"
"Nope"
She rolled her eyes...
"Okay then what's next?"
"We go in, leave your shoes on"
"Why?"
"Because that's what normal people do baby"
"Oh that."
He laughed, "Yeah, that"
They entered the dimly lit church, she immediately took great notice of all the candles smouldering, the flowers hanging seductively from every arch of each beam...
"What's all of this?"
"Come and find out"
He solemnly took hold of her tiny hand and led her up the altar where a lone cd player lye in wait. He bent down and pressed the botton marked 'play' and patiently waited for the song to begin its melodic journey.
"To make you feel my love" soared through the Cathedral...
Her eyes welled up with tears.
He knelt down on his right knee...
"You know how much I love you don't you?" his eyes searched hers for a reflected truth
"Yes"
"And you love me"
"I do, very much so"
"Will you give your life to me baby? There's nothing that I want more, or who anyone that I will ever want more than you...I found life when I began looking into your eyes."
"Are you asking-"
"I'm asking you if you'll become my wife"
"Yes"
He reached into his suit pocket and promptly produced a beautiful solitare diamond, and in taking her hand into his, nervously placed it on her finger.
"I don't want to wait. He's here"
"Who is here?"
"The priest. Father Sullivan"
"You mean...?"
"I do indeed. It's time for us to began living as one. He is to make this official, if you'll afford me this indulgence"
"I will"
(an hour later)
He raced out, with new wife in tow, happier than he'd ever been in his entire life.
He paused when they reached the penthouse door frame
"It all begins here for us...do you realize that?"
"Do I have to wear my shoes?"
He laughed, with sudden menacing pleasure in his voice
"Not where we're going baby girl"
Hope you enjoyed.
Have a breathtaking week!
From my hand to yours,
Sawyer
Saint Andrews
