This has all the hallmarks of Derrick. But to do this, for me, it literally takes my breath away.

And there he is, standing in the middle of the bridge up ahead, maybe 200 paces from me.

I quickly increase my pace and almost break out into a run.

I stop as I get closer.

There’s a table with two chairs and a candle that he stands next to.

But that’s not what stops me short. It’s what he’s wearing. The full military dress uniform of St. Livy. It fits him like a glove. His eyes are piercing and he has some very light stubble - but his face is so rugged and firm, his body so perfectly made. His wide shoulders spread back, he’s waiting for me like some kind of modern day God.

I slow down as I approach him. He takes a step towards me and I stop completely.

He’s silent. So am I. I want to see what he’s up to. I don’t have long to wait as he comes up to me - his body inches away.

“Daphne Apple,” he says to me. I look up at him and lose myself in his eyes all over again for the first time. “I love you.”

Oh gosh! I’m dead and I’ve gone to heaven. I’m the happiest girl in the world.

I have no idea what’s coming.

“You rescued me from myself,” he says to me as he takes my hand in his and brings it up. “Without you, I would have self-destructed so long ago.”

I don’t know what to say, so I stay silent. “Each day, I remind myself just how lucky I am that an angel like you is in my life.”

Wow. But seriously, if Prince Sin is doing all this to get in my pants, I should probably tell him that he has nothing to worry about.

And that’s when he gets down on one knee.

Oh, my.

Actually, let me rephrase that really quick, okay?

Yeeeeee!

This is really happening!

What do I do? What am I wearing?

Is there any of that onion bagel in my teeth?

I love him so much.

What am I going to say?

I swear to God, I can’t breathe.

I love him so much.

Oh my God! Sorry, I mean, OH MY GOD!

This is so amazing.

I love him so much.

I hope you realize that was all at once and took roughly about a second to go through my head. But guess what? I’m such a good girl that outwardly I’m very calm.

At least I hope so. He’s saying something.
