"Tomorrow? Yes!" I felt so giddy. I couldn't believe this was really happening. It felt like everything I had ever wanted was coming true.
"Did you know that this is the very spot where we met freshman year?"
"I know. I remember." I smiled up at him. "You were drunk. And you made some stupid vulgar comment. And I told you off."
"Yeah." He tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear. "I'm pretty sure I said you had a nice ass."
I laughed. "Yup, that was it."
"I still don't know why you were ever upset about that. It's just true."
I laughed again. "Because it was rude."
He shrugged. "All I know is that as soon as you called me a drunk asshole, all I wanted to do was win you over."
"Well, you did."
"So this kind of seems like the perfect place, right?"
"The perfect place for what?"
Patrick got down on one knee.
"Oh my God." I put my hands over my mouth.
"Bee, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me. Meeting you right here, it changed me. I want to go to New York. And I want to know that you'll be by my side. I need you to always tell me when I'm being a drunk asshole." He laughed.
"Patrick, I..."
"I know, okay? I know your parents are divorced. And I know that you're scared to get married. But I'm not your dad, Bee. I'm not going to run off. I'm so in love with you. I love you with everything that I am. I'm never going to leave you. Marry me, Bee."
I didn't think he was going to propose, not yet. But it felt so right. I never wanted to live a day without him. "Okay."
"Okay? Does that mean yes?" He smiled up at me.
"Yes that means yes. Of course, yes!"
He slid the ring onto my finger.
"Oh my God, Patrick." I could feel tears start to stream down my cheeks. I looked down at the ring on my finger.
"Why are you crying?" He wrapped his arms around me. "You're so cute."
I pressed the side of my face against his chest. "I just never thought I'd be this happy."
