I got a phone call from my boyfriend’s mother saying that Nick had an accident while playing hockey with his friends. They took him to St. Josephs Hospital and she was with him now. Nick was fine other than a broken leg, which they were putting in a cast. I wanted to go to the Hospital but his mom said no. They would be finished with him shortly and I was to meet them at his apartment in an hour.
It is a 45-minute drive from my place so I left immediately. When I got to Nicks, the place was in darkness so I let myself in. I was shocked when he was sitting on the sofa, his leg in a cast with candles burning and a glass of wine for each of us. He asked me to lift his leg and put a cushion under it. When I lifted his leg, the fake cast fell off and written on his leg was would I marry him? I said yes and all of our families that were hiding came out to congratulate us.
