Ana laid tangled in Nick’s arms in the bed of his parked pickup truck, soft music floating from the cab. Far from city lights, a million stars dotted the sky. She thought the night couldn’t be more perfect but he promised more.
He led her through the woods to their campsite. Soft illumination inside the tent made it glow green like an emerald. Twinkle lights hung in the trees. The beauty left her breathless.
She turned to find him on one knee, ring in hand. Hope and anxiety were clear on his face.
Serenaded by cicadas, the couple celebrated her answer.

What a wonderful happy ending… I guess there is only one answer to be told.

Just one answer that they would celebrate, I suppose. It was nice to write a happy ending. I don’t always do that.

Thanks! I do sometimes write sweet stories. I resisted the urge to have them mauled by a bear or ambushed by an axe-murdered. Lol. 🙂

LOL! Nobody likes maulings. :o) Except maybe the maulee. You’d think they would enjoy it otherwise why even bother, right?
