I went and checked on Grace today, she was still under sedation. Quentin was in the room so I went to side observation room. It's a room with all her vital and info right next to her room, and I can see her from the two way mirror. I decided to head back to my room and relax a little. I've been very stressed the past few days. As I waked down the hall I noticed Evelyn's door was open so a quietly snuck up to her room and peeked in. She was in a chair with her back to the door. So, I quietly tip toed up behind her and grabbed her and bit her on the shoulder, to you know be cute or whatever. It ended up being a bad idea because she grabbed me by the neck and flipped my to ground.
Luckily before she bashed my head with a lamp in she noticed it was me. As I lied there with her knee in my neck. I looked into her eyes and we both began laughing. She Got of my throat and she sat next to me, and dropped the lamp. She looked down at me and bopped my nose saying, "you're crazy". I said "an crazy for you". I sat up, and out my arm around her. She smiled at me and put her head on my shoulder closed her eyes. I looked down at her put my hand under her chin and raised her face until I was looking into her beautiful green eyes. I said "I love you", and for the first time I kissed her. Not a peck on the cheek or forehead, an actual kiss. She put her arms around my neck, and said "I love you too". We sat there sitting on her floor staring at each other. I put my hand into her cheek, and suddenly a sentence came out of my mouth that I never expected. I said, "will you marry me?" She recoiled back, and said, "What!?" I realized what I had just said and I just stood up in and just walked to my room.
After about thirty seconds she made it to my door, and I was searching through a box my father had given me when I had left the hospital. In it were things to remind me of my parents. I pulled out a modest little ring, with a one small diamond and two tiny diamonds embedded in it. It was old and unpolished. It was given to my great grandmother and was passed down to each eldest son. With each generation a tiny diamond was added to the ring. I turned back to her and got down on one knee, and asked her again, "Evelyn will you marry me?". She jut starred at me with a shocked look on her face. Suddenly a voice, rose from behind her and said, "It's so romantic". We both looked and it was the president. He was starting to tear up. I asked him, " With all due respect sir, do you just chill by my door all day?" He b wiped his eye, and said, "Yes, and can you blame me you two are entertaining. Anyway, I believe he asked you a question." Evelyn looked back at me, and stumbled on her words. The president, not-so-subtly, coughed, "say yes". Evelyn knelt down next to me grabbed my face with both hands, said "yes", and planted a kiss on me. I slid the ring on her finger, and we ran to tell everyone. We're planning on getting married right before we leave for the tour.
