"Patrick?" She asked gently "Why have you given me this ring?"
"Because� Because� I want you to marry me."
"Marriage! Don�t you think that�s a bit of a�"
"Don�t even finish that sentence! A bit of a rush? To fast? All of a sudden? Holly we were together all through mad school, friends for the past 2 years and now were together again. Lots of people get married before they've done half of that. And I mean we've done it all together, death, exams, pregnancy scares, saving lives and psychos breaking into your flat. How much more do I need to do to prove I'm committed to you?"
"Its not your commitment that I'm questioning, its mine. I can stand in that church and say all these vows with you and mean every one but I can't guaranty that at any given moment I wont just run off again. And what sort of marriage would that be? I can't expect you to come home every day wondering if I'll be there, it's not fair."
"I don�t care. I know that you cant promise to always be here but that doesn�t stop be loving you. I'll chase you around the world for the rest of my life if need be. I won't, I can't loose you, not again." Holly's eyes welled up with tears. Weather they were of happiness or sadness she didn�t know.
"I do love you but what if I run off like I always do? I couldn�t bear to hurt you like I've done so many times before. I think it would be better for you if you found someone who would always be there for the rest of your life."
"Don�t talk bull s**t Holly. I don�t, and won't ever want anyone else but you. I don�t care where you are, I'll still love you even if you're a million miles away. Now are you going to marry me or not?"
"Yes. Yes I will."
