The Cowboy and the Mermaid

The Cowboy and the Mermaid

Dwight wakes up the next morning hearing splashing in his pool. He hurries to the window and spies his beautiful mermaid splashing and swimming in the pool. He smiles, happily watching her swim. He thanks the Good Lord above who sent his knife into Sunlit Tides when he threw it at the map that day in Appaloosa Plains. Even though he didn't know it at the time, it was the best thing that ever happened to him.

Dwight hurries to the pool to try and catch her before she disappears. He watches her swim towards him as she spots him arriving. She laughs, "Join me."
He shakes his head, "Nope, join me. I need to talk to you."

She gets out of the pool dripping wet and he takes her in his arms, dips her down, kisses her thoroughly. "I love you Lorelei."

Lorelei looks at Dwight a bit puzzled, but loving his way of loving her.

Next thing she knows he is down on his knees in front of her. "Are you ok?" she asks.

"I've never been better in my whole life!" He reaches in his back pocket and pulls out a box with a very special ring in it. "Lorelei, I do love you. When I looked out the window and saw you swimming in the pool I realized I don't want to wait any longer to make you mine. You are already in my heart and I want you by my side the rest of my life. Will you be mine?"

Lorelei is stunned and amazed and deliriously happy as she looks in his loving eyes as he looks up at her. "Yes, yes, Dwight! I love you and want to be yours.

He slips the ring on her finger and she admires how it looks. "I love it!" she exclaims and embraces him tightly telling him how happy she is. He tells her the same, they kiss and Lorelei leaps into his arms. Dwight catches her and holds her tightly realizing all the exercise has made him strong enough to hold his beautiful fiance. He puffs his chest out proudly and Lorelei snuggles into him loving the feel of his strong arms around her. They stand outside kissing and cuddling and enjoying this moment in their life.

(In the previous update I had to stop the risky woohoo, but, there was no way I was stopping such a beautiful moment after they kissed, when Dwight put his hands up after kissing her and the ring thought bubble appeared over his head. I was literally bouncing in my chair I was so excited for them, and hitting that c button continuously. I shoulda' hit the video button! Someday I will try to learn that. I must have taken 25 pictures so you guys are lucky to only get 7 of the proposal.)
