Isaac is still standing in the sas he wants to say, but I’ to delay the inevitable I don’t want him to leave

"Baby, you know I didn’t ht it up…I was just curious about your reaction"

My whole body locks up and I suck in a quiet breath

I turn around to face hiertips

He’s trying so hard not to s fun of ht-heartedly abouthi the word ‘heir’ instead of ‘baby’, but I know deep down he really meant it In both senses

Isaac leans in and kisses e, having fun,altogether, but I can’t tell I never saw that co e-style dress bought at a second-hand store, but I think hearing hihts of it actually co so fast I feel it in my knee-caps

But I’m not ready for that, either I love him and would say hell yes if he ever actually asked ht now I’ to be sick I’

I didn’t even think to close my mind off to him My cheeks flare up armth

He cups his hands around my upper arms and peers in at me with a devoted, beautiful s to say yes when I ask you" He kisses ers trail down ive you some time" He looks down at his pretend watch and then purses his lips "You’ll never knohen it’s gonna be--it could be after you leave this school, or three months from nohen I corin just gets deeper

I failand still trying to hold in laughter and tears all at the same time!

Finally, I just let the tears pour froe as ht about now, no one could mistake theht, pressing his lips into et used to it and so I kiss him deeply once and reluctantly et this over with and I think he probably needs to do the sa

"Babe, really?" Isaac says with a hint of huotover your bed?" He’s totally playing with

He sone I guess, but when I get back…," he points his index finger upward and shakes his head slowly in warning, "…they’ll have to go; they can’t be looking down at

I watch Isaac from myas he walks down the sidewalk and away fro lot The Jeep is mine now And then I watch hi face Three ine how long threeup curled up next to him and the way I always laid my head on his bare chest and listened to his heartbeat while he was sleeping

I miss him already

So, that’s how my life turned out I went fro in love and huin to describe it But I wouldn’t trade any of it for anything in the world

And I would do it all over again
