Epilogue – Sometime in December…

"Hey mom," Angela answers the phone, as she exits the English building at Columbia University and heads for her car.

"Hello Angela, are you busy?" Patty asks.

"Nope, just now leaving my last class. How are you are you feeling? Did you get that cast off today?"

"Yes finally," she gasps excitedly, "and I feel great, especially now that I can walk freely."

"That's awesome mom," Angela replies as she starts up her car.

"Yea and they're gonna have me continue with the physical therapy for a while longer. So, hopefully I'll be at 100% in no time."

"That's great. Is Danielle still helping you out with the physical therapy?"

"Yes she is," Patty answers. "Any who, enough about me, how are you doing? Have you talked to Jordan lately? How's his tour going? When is he coming back? And are you still driving down here this Friday?"

"Whoa, mom, one question at a time," Angela laughs, pulling into a parking space and heading up to the apartment she shares with Jordan. "Um…let's see, I last talked to Jordan last night and the tour is doing great. Yes, of course we are still driving down on Friday and Jordan is coming home…" Angela's voice trails off, her jaw dropping as she opens the door to her apartment.

"Angela…Angela are you there?" comes Patty's shouting over the phone.

"Uh…mom, I gotta go…"

"What? Angela? What's going on?"

"Call you later," Angela says before she hangs up and walks into her apartment, pushing the door closed behind her. A smile slowly starts to form on her face as she takes in the dozens and dozens of lit candles covering various surfaces throughout her living room.

I don't know what it is tonight

Your smile, your eyes, yeah

Even in the candlelight

You shine so bright

And you're so beautiful

More beautiful than you've ever been

I catch my breath

And fall in love again

"Wow," Angela sighs, still looking around the candlelit room. "It's beautiful."

"You're beautiful," Jordan whispers just as she finally notices him standing in the middle of the room.

"What are you doing here?" she asks, taking a step closer.

"Surprise!" he smiles, reaching his hand out to her.

Angela stares at his hand suspiciously, cocking her head to the side. "You're back early," she comments before finally closing the space between them and grabbing his outreached hand.

"Change of plans," Jordan responds, guiding her over to the couch and sitting down.

"You should have told me," Angela states, tucking her hair behind her ear.

"But that would have ruined the surprise," he says, grabbing a chocolate-covered strawberry, from a tray on the coffee table, and offering it to her.

Angela smiles, taking a bite of the fruit, "So, why go through all the trouble to do this?" she asks, waving her arm to indicate the room.

Jordan returns the smile, and offers her more of the strawberry. "Because I love you."

I can't imagine where I'd be

Without you with me

I need you more everyday

More than words can say

I want you in my life

For all my life

This night will never end

You take my hand

And I fall in love again

"I love you, too," Angela replies, leaning over to give him a kiss. "With all my heart," she adds as she pulls away.

"Forever and ever?" Jordan inquires with a cheesy smile.

Angela laughs, stuffing a strawberry into his mouth. "Forever and ever," she repeats. "So," she sighs, taking a sip of the champagne Jordan had poured for her, "is there anything else to expect with this lovely evening?"

"Jewelry," Jordan smiles, taking a long velvet box off the table and handing it to her.

"Jewelry!" Angela squeals, reaching for the box excitedly. "Wow," she breathes, opening the box to reveal a diamond tennis bracelet. "Are they real?"

"Very,"

"It must have cost you a fortune," she says, lightly running her fingers over the bracelet. "You shouldn't have…"

"You're worth it," Jordan insists, leaning over and kissing Angela on the forehead.

"Thanks," she sighs, still admiring the sparking piece of jewelry.

"And….there's more,"

"More?" Angela asks, looking up to find Jordan on one knee in front of her, her eyes widening slightly.

"More," he repeats, pulling a small velvet box out of his pants' pocket.

Nothing short of a miracle

Could've brought you here to me

When I'm with you

Heaven's all I see

All I see

"Jordan," Angela gasps, as he opens the box to reveal a simple, but stunning, 3-stone diamond ring.

"It was…um…it was my mother's," he says, suddenly nervous.

"It's gorgeous," she grins, looking Jordan straight in eye.

"I love you," he continues, "all I want is to be with you and to make you happy. And cliché or not, I would be the happiest and luckiest man alive if you were my wife."

"Cliché?" Angela smiles.

"Don't patronize me," Jordan chuckles before becoming serious again. "Angela Chase, will you marry me?"

Angela launches herself at Jordan, wrapping her arms around his neck and holding him close. "I love you so much, of course I'll marry you," she answers before kissing him passionately.

Caught up in every touch

I feel the rush

Of this moment back when we were here

Each time we kiss

I fall in love again

I can't resist

I fall in love again
