�She�s gone D.  Everyone around her knew how she felt, even Julie.  And Julie was playing off of that!�
�God Nick, what have I done?�
�Good question.  But, you best get to steppin� to go find her.�
�She�s the only one I love, the only one I could ever love.�
�She doesn�t know that anymore.�
�I know, I don�t prove it enough.�

I typed up the story, not picking up the phone that was ringing off the hook.  I let my fingers flow and the feelings just came from within�.  The incident at the club happened one week ago and no word for Howie.  Maybe it was over for good.  I stopped typing and sighed.  I picked up the phone, not even thinking of who it was.
�Theresa?�  I nearly dropped the phone.
�Howie.�
�Um, can I take you out to lunch.�
�I suppose.  What for?�
�Just cause.  Thanks, be by shortly.�  Than a click and a dial tone.  I stared at the phone and sighed.  15 minutes later, Howie came through my door.  �Ready?�  I just glanced up at him and tried not to laugh.
�Yeah.�  I saved my work, shut down my computer, and left.  He speed down to the beach, not saying anything.  I left the wind blow through my hair, enjoying it.  And once we arrived, I was shocked.  Spread out was a blanket, with a lot of food.  Candles, wine, music, the works.  He lead me over and sat me down.  �What�s this?�
�Lunch.�
�With a romantic twist.  Why?�  He sighed and poured some wine.
�I have a lot to explain.  Let me first say, that no matter what, you are the only woman I could ever love.  Now, Julie, I realize I�ve done some shit that hasn�t been the best when it comes to her.  But, I don�t know, she can fog my mind.  That�s why I told her to leave.  If she�s going to come between the woman that I love and me, than something has to change.  She wasn�t thrilled but she left.  After she explained that she wanted me and would go to any lengths to get me.  I found her more of fake now than ever before.  I told her she could never have me, I belonged to only one person and she even agreed to walk.  And next, I know in a sense, I�ve ignored you.  Haven�t been the loving man you need.  And I�m deeply sorry for that.  It pains me to know I�ve caused you pain.  But, if you allow it, I�ll spend a lifetime making it up to you.�
�What do you mean?�
�Theresa, I�m asking you not only to forgive me, but to be my wife,� he said, pulling out a box.  He opened it and slipped the ring on my finger.  It sparkled in the sunlight and I felt the tears coming.
�Oh, yes Howard.  I�m sorry.�  He drew me in his arms and kissed my thoughts away.
�You have nothing to be sorry for baby.  It�s all my fault and I�m so sorry I was stupid.�
�Forgiven.�  I kissed him once again and just gazed in his eyes.
�I�ll be forever yours, faithfully.�
