no new chapter this week, but here is a flash forward a few years ;)
a gasp escaped Alice as she turned around and saw her girlfriend on one knee holding a small box in her hands. she brought a mitten-covered hand up to her mouth.
"oh gracie" happy tears were now coursing down her face as she looked at the older girl her heart belonged to. she had never imagined in her life she could be this happy.
"i really love you alice. all those years ago when we met i never imagined i would be here. i love you with my entire heart. will you marry me?" with a happy nod alice threw herself at gracie wrapping the older girl in a warm hug.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! i love you so much!"
