| She reached in the door and grabbed her coat. She was still furious at Hank, but something told her to go and see what it was he wanted. As she walked Helene contemplated what she was going to say to him. A part of her wanted to chew him out, tell him how much he hurt her. Yet there was the other part, that told her Hank loved her and she should give him a second chance.
When she got to the park she saw Hank standing in a gazebo. He was wearing a dark suit and he was clean-shaven. She took a deep breath and started to make her way to him. Hank was pacing back and forth reciting in his mind what he was going to say. He was turning around when he caught a glimpse of Helene walking his way. �It�s now or never Hank.� He thought to himself. Helene finally reached Hank and he took a deep breath. Helene had been thinking about how much he�d hurt her and had decided on handing him the package and tell him it was over as much as it hurt her to do so. However she never got a chance to speak. As soon as she reached Hank he ordered her to open the package. Helene took the wrapping off and inside was the most beautiful music box she�d ever seen. It was a crystal box with red velvet lining. She noticed that inside was a lose piece of the velvet lining and she looked up at Hank wondering. �Open it up.� Helene opened up the box and the most beautiful song, the one that was playing when they had their first kiss, began to play. Her eyes began to get misty and she saw Hank get down on one knee. �Helene, I don�t know when it happened but somewhere along the way I fell madly in love with you.� �The thought of losing you scares me more then you�ll ever know.� �I love you and I want to share the rest of my life with you.� Helene had opened the box and removed the lose piece of velvet, and discovered a ring. It wasn�t a diamond ring. Instead the stone was a light pink shade (her favorite color). �Helene, I�m asking you�.Will you marry me?� �What about Ashley?� �Ashley? I was just practicing on her. I just wanted to make everything perfect.� �So?�Will you marry me?� �Oh Hank, I�d love to!!!� Chapter 16 A couple of months passed and everything seemed to be going on as normal. Michaela was at the dining table eating her dinner. Everyone was watching her, this was her second helping and now she wanted desert. There was apple pie on the table, but she wanted something else. She searched the cupboard and found some popcorn. She grabbed a glass and filled it halfway with milk. Then she prepared the popcorn and let it cool down a bit. Sully and the kids were watching her every move. However they were not prepared for what she did next. The saw Michaela grab the glass of milk and reach into the popcorn. She grabbed two fistfuls and dropped them in the milk. �Michaela�What are you doing?� �I�m eating popcorn and milk. What does it look like I�m doing?� Sully knew he better watch how he replied. It seemed that everything he said got him in trouble with Michaela. �Sully?� �Yeah?� �Do you think I�m fat?� Sully hesitated for a moment. He wasn�t sure if this was a trick question. Michaela noticed him stall and before he could answer she stormed off saying, �I honestly don�t know why I asked you.� |
