After saying goodbye to the kids, Emma turned around and saw Jamie standing in the corridor waiting for her.
The setting sun cast a warm yellow light on him.
Emma smiled at him and walked quickly.
"I can go back by myself. You don't need to come all the way to pick me up. It's too tiring." Emma said with a slight reproach.
Jamie was as gentle as before.
He naturally took Emma's hand and said fondly, "Today is my sweetheart's birthday. I must be with you even if I’m busy."
Emma was surprised. She had not spent birthday since she married Glenn.
"You still remember? I almost forgot." Emma smiled, and took out the hand that was held uncomfortably by Jamie.
Jamie tried hard to resist the urge of occupying her. He helped her fasten her seat belt gently.
"I remember all the things about you." He said with a kiss on her forehead, and continued gently, "Are you ready, my princess?"
Emma nodded, trying to relax herself and to accept Jamie's love.
Jamie took her to a high-level Italian restaurant. The restaurant manager came out and arranged a box for them.
This box was very quiet, no one passing by. There was a elegant and soft violin music, making the atmosphere in the box more in explicit.
As soon as Emma sat down, she saw Jamie coming in with a big cake on which a little fairy in a white wedding dress looked like herself.
Will he propose so soon? What should I do?
Emma was suddenly a little nervous. She was not prepared enough for being with Jamie.
"Emma?"
Jamie interrupted her thinking. When Emma reflected, she saw Jamie kneeling on one knee and holding a ring in the palm of his hand.
Emma was so shocked.
Before she could react, Jamie took her hand with his eyes full of love.
"Emma, are you willing to be my wife?" I promise that I will cherish you through sickness and health. I will do my best to protect you in our limited life. I will not let you sad and hurt, until the end of life!"
Emma was completely overcame with astonishment.
She didn't react until the ring was put on her hand. She wanted to take it down and explained in a flurry.
"No, I'm not..."
Just then, there was a loud noise at the door of the box.
Glenn kicked the door open, staring at them and the ring on her hand angrily.
Emma's head stuck there like rust.
In fact, her brain was completely in a blank.
She had imagined about meeting Glenn again.
She thought maybe he would pass her like a stranger, leaving her a look of contempt.
Or maybe he will lose his mind for a moment, and then say "long time no see" to her.
He may even rush up to grab her neck and ask why she had to kill him with a pillow that night.
