If anyone wants to know why I love Adam, let me share an example of an hour that we spent together. This hour followed a crazy day of horseback riding, swimming, skating lesson *sort of* and Adam... what else did we do?
Around 11pm, Adam and I left my house to take a walk. Did I know what was coming? I hoped that I knew. Adam began, and Adam, forgive me, I don't know the exact words!
"Boy was visiting his friends who said, 'hey we know a great girl... let's call her' and so they did but she didn't answer. They tried and tried but never did she answer. Finally they tried one more time and she picked up! Relief! She can come!"
And the story continued, about how lovely that first date was with boy and girl, and how cheating is fun. Eventually boy had to say how he felt about girl and tell her he loved her. At this point in our walk we were at the duck pond, because that is the place where Adam first told me that he loves me. When he first said that to me, I felt the sincerity in his words, but I could not return the words. I needed to know for sure. I waited a few more days.
We left the duck pond and Adam described how boy and girl grew and began to love each other, and that girl was able to say she loved boy. By now we arrived at the fountain, and it was as tranquil as the last time we were there. We sat on a bench nearby and Adam described the most recent events in the story between boy and girl, when he looked at his watch, which was just after 12, and said,
"...And that is when boy got down on his knee and asked (with my full name), Lily, will you marry me?"
I felt a surge of love and peace welling up within me. My emotions were a mix of warmth, like Adam's arms, and of love, like being hugged by Adam, and of peace, like the way I feel when I think about being married to this boy. We were completely present in the moment, focused on one thought, fused together. I looked down at the only man I have ever loved, and I said, "yes, of course." And after that was the best hug of my life! All the troubles, all the doubts washed away, and I was as tranquil as the still fountain that we were near. Adam slipped the ring on, and we became connected, we became boy and girl.
I see Adam differently now. He has become a force in my life, he is shaping me. And I truly love him. He is a delightful mix between strong, light-hearted, intense, loving, respectful, determined, and encouraging. And I expect that I will request this story often, and as the years go by, Adam will carve it into my heart.
