The Casey's

I had to suprise her.... For weeks she kept asking “when ya gonna do it, no don't tell me”. She had no idea that reservations were made at her favorite brunch spot, hair place, nail place, and on southwest for my sister, Maggie, and Katy. Ashley took care of my princess and lied through her teeth for me. I had told Lucie a year prior that she'd know when it was happening because Dorey would pick her up and get their nails done together. I had no clue. Then I knew instantly.... I saw Dorey in my apartment. We walked into the living room and it was covered in photos of us hanging from lavender thread. A beautiful dress hung in the center of the room, and I was surrounded by moss and candles and seashells. I was in Neverland! On the table was a beautiful mirror, all of my makeup, my favorite drink and a little Madeleine cake. I sat there with Ashley and Dorey and I couldn't stop crying from joy. I collected myself enough to get ready and we walked out the door. I could barely collect myself with the ring in my pocket.... I kept looking for her through a small gap in the dock. Then I saw her, not walking but gliding toward me. My stomach fell, I knew she would say yes but I finally knew what stage fright felt like. I must have been shaking. He took my hand... He was standing in a garden next to the water, looking as handsome as ever. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the first scene we ever had together. After we read it to each other, he talked to me and I felt like we were the only two people in the universe. He looked at me... I got down on one knee... He said my full name and opened the box. She said “oh my god it's beautiful” I was excited!! And I asked her to marry me... And of course I said yes! I had talked to a nearby ferry captain and he blew the horn for us! I heard applause all around and he told me to look up. I saw my mom and all of our friends! I was so happy. I put the ring on her finger.. And we kissed.
