I didn't know what happened next. Until I felt his arms around me. I looked at his face, and saw his magnificent eyes staring back at me. He was the first to speack, I'm sorry honey I scaredyou. I'll never leave you again. I promise, He told me. He held his hand up, which was in a fist all this time to reveal a beautiful diamond ring. I tried to protect this so I can give this to you---- I cut him off by putting a finger on his lips. I will mary you Jake, I can't imagine life without you. I whispered to him. His hug tightened. That was my best valentine's season ever.

Summer the following year, we went back to my province, to the resort and the zoo my family usually visited. I have my own family now. Jake and I were blessed with a beautiful daughter, Corinne. And as Jake promised, he never left me again.
