Gently pressing the rim of a glass of soda to his lips, he takes short sips as he waits for his beloved Elizabeth to get here. The television was off as he wished to be alone in silence while thinking of what the future would hold after this day. “The beginning of the rest of forever.” He thinks out loud as he can invasion her lovely black hair, her beautiful face that never required make up as she was always a natural looker and her beauty had always gleamed outward from within. “How lucky and fortunate.” He begins to think, “That one such as myself, someone so plain.. so disinteresting could have ever possibly caught the eye of one so lovely. I certainly was not the best looking man, nor the smartest.. nor the funniest.” A smile gently forms at the corners of his mouth as he sips more soda, “But then again, I’m sure everyone’s opinion of themselves is low compared to that of their soul mates.” His smile only widens as he considers that phrase, “Soul mate.” A term he had never believed in before meeting Elizabeth. He, in this moment in time, was very confident and sure she would say yes as soon as he presented the ring and this showed upon his face with a proud, now full, smile. He adjusts his collar as if he hadn’t already done it 7 times and fluffed the back of his hair as if it had not already been taken care of. “I’ve got this.” He says to himself, “This is the person I’m going to spend forever with.” He hears a knock at the door and suddenly his whole world shatters, his confidence collapses along with his smile as he stares wide eyed at the door.. his nerves forcing him to stay putt. He shakily puts down the glass of clear soda and fully realizes how big this decision is. He wasn’t having second thoughts but, like most huge acts, this was easier said and done seeing as he had always been the shy nervous type. He finally takes a deep breath and quietly strolls to the door placing a pale hand upon the gold knob and turning it nice and steady. The wooden door swings open gently revealing the beautiful love of his life, “Hello my darling.” He says smiling.
