"Patrick?" She asked gently "Why have you given me this ring?"
"Because… Because… I want you to marry me."
"Marriage! Don’t you think that’s a bit of a…"
"Don’t even finish that sentence! A bit of a rush? To fast? All of a sudden? Holly we were together all through mad school, friends for the past 2 years and now were together again. Lots of people get married before they've done half of that. And I mean we've done it all together, death, exams, pregnancy scares, saving lives and psychos breaking into your flat. How much more do I need to do to prove I'm committed to you?"
"Its not your commitment that I'm questioning, its mine. I can stand in that church and say all these vows with you and mean every one but I can't guaranty that at any given moment I wont just run off again. And what sort of marriage would that be? I can't expect you to come home every day wondering if I'll be there, it's not fair."
"I don’t care. I know that you cant promise to always be here but that doesn’t stop be loving you. I'll chase you around the world for the rest of my life if need be. I won't, I can't loose you, not again." Holly's eyes welled up with tears. Weather they were of happiness or sadness she didn’t know.
"I do love you but what if I run off like I always do? I couldn’t bear to hurt you like I've done so many times before. I think it would be better for you if you found someone who would always be there for the rest of your life."
"Don’t talk bull s**t Holly. I don’t, and won't ever want anyone else but you. I don’t care where you are, I'll still love you even if you're a million miles away. Now are you going to marry me or not?"
"Yes. Yes I will."
