I twisted the small metal ring on my finger this way and that as the shiny Volvo pulled into Charlie's driveway. I took one deep breath and walked out the door to greet him. He was smiling, his face radiant and flawless.
"Shall we go?" he said smoothly.
"I don't see why I couldn't drive myself. I know the way." I said as we climbed into his car.
"Because," he chuckled, "you would kill yourself." I stuck my tongue out at him. After that, neither of us could think of anything to say so we went on in silence as I twiddled with my ring. He must have noticed because he finally broke the silence with, "Do you have an answer?" I sighed in exasperation,
"Edward…"
"What?"
he cut me off, "why won't you marry me?" I thought about it
briefly and then answered.
"Because I don't want to end up like my parents with nothing but bad memories, a horrible lesson learned and a kid with a broken family." I almost yelled. "Now give me one reason as good as those why I should marry you," I demanded. He paused for a moment with a look of thought upon his face. The large white house was finally coming into view when he finally answered. He pulled the car to a stop about a fourth of a mile away and turned to me, cupped my face in his hands and said, "You want to know why you should marry me? Because I love you, you love me, and if we do this, then I will finally know that we are meant to be together forever and I swear that I," he paused and took a deep breath, "I will bite you." He whispered.
"Yes." I breathed. "I'll marry you." He smiled and took my hand, and with that, we drove up to the large white house, to see my future family/in-laws.
