She knew this was something different. She had no idea what he was going to do, but she felt like she was the most important thing in the world to him right now. It was a good feeling and something she never had before. She was used to the one who never had anyone there with her. Mack was different.
When he had changed his diet and started to look better and feel better, she thought he would start looking for someone else to spend time with. She knew that she wasn’t all the best, and as he got better looking as he changed the way he acted, he became more protective of her. She had thought it would be the opposite. Nothing about Mack made sense to her, and she was okay with that.
Mack grew out his hair from the tight hair cut he had been wearing it in for the past few years. It was still a little floppy as it grew out, but he was looking better with everything he had changed. She didn’t kno

Mack woke up, and he was still feeling the relaxation in his body from the night before. It was still in his muscles as well. He didn’t want to move. He found himself grinning even more as he nuzzled into her neck. Knowing he could spend the next few days with her and not have to think about the case even though in the back of his mind, he was still working on it, and he knew that. He was finally able to show her everything he meant almost every time they were together. He wasn’t going to go anywhere. He knew that was her biggest fear though she would never admit that.She was so strong-willed, and that was because she had so much to prove to everyone around her except for him. He didn’t need to have anything proven. He knew she was the best at everything except reading people. He could and would help her with that. It would be forever if he had h

“Why are you always here?” Henni asked one day after he walked into the house. It had been about two weeks since their relationship had changed. He looked at her as he took off his jacket coat and placed it on the table chair. He smiled at her.“Haven’t you figured that out yet?” he asked as he walked over and bent down to give her a quick kiss hello.“If I had figured it out, do you think I would be asking you about it?” Henni asked, and he chuckled.“That much is true.” He said as he sat down next to her and saw her working on a review for some of her records for work. She had taken to doing more work from home in the past month or so because she knew he would be there sometime through the night, or he would call her on those very rare nights he didn’t spend time with her. “I guess I found my person is the best answer I

“You said you wanted to marry me earlier.” She said as she looked at him the day later. She knew he would talk about everything with her, and she was willing to listen to him. He never got angry with her questions. He simply would chuckle and then break down the answers in a way she understood. She had no way of really understanding how relationships work. He knew that. He also was always willing to bridge the gap between them. She was too because of this one small thing that he did without thinking too much about it. Mack was one of the few people in her life that had taken the time to do this. He just accepted her as she was and found a way to work with it instead of trying to change her in any way.“I did,” he said as he looked up to her. “Are we really going to talk about this now?”“I just don’t understand why you would think that.” She said as she tilted her head

“That’s love.” He said as he looked at her and cupped her face. “I wanted to be better because of you. You would have accepted me either way.” He smiled and then kissed her nose. “That right there is love at its best form.”“I still don’t really understand.” She said as she looked at him. She heard everything that he said, but it almost seemed he was talking in circles. The simple fact was she really had no idea how love worked. The things that she felt for him were not easy to understand. She knew she liked him more than anyone else. He made her feel good even with her questions. He was just good to be around.“Love is something you feel you never really understand it, sweetheart.” He chuckled. “Here is a better question. When it comes to me, do you feel something different when I am around, then let's say one of the guys you work with?”“Yes.” She said

“I still don’t really get it.” She said. “But let’s move on to why you think you want to marry me.”“That is even easier to explain.” He laughed. “But I really don’t want to get into that right now. It isn’t the right time.”“What is the right time?” She asked as she looked at him in the sunlight. He looked at her and knew that she was going to push this. He really didn’t want this to go on, though, at least at the moment. “I mean, I think we should talk about it so I can understand and know what to look for so I can make the right decisions.”The wind started to pick up as they were sitting on the patio, and he looked around to see if there were any storms on the horizon. There were no clouds in the sky, so he thought it would die down soon enough. He knew

“What?” he asked as she looked at her, clearly shocked. That was not what he expected at all. He was trying to clear the shock from his face and voice as he heard it when he heard himself speak. He nearly choked when he had processed her words even though they were clear.“I asked you if you would marry me?” she asked. She was straight-faced. She looked at him and saw that he was shocked. It was amusing in some ways, but she was also slightly confused because he said it was what he wanted.“That isn’t a question you joke about, honey.” He said as he swallowed. “Even when we are talking about it for the future.”“I know that.” She said as she looked at him. She was still clear-faced and was waiting for him to answer her. “Mack, I know it isn’t a joke, and I am being serious.&rdq

Henni was content with his answer though she knew nothing about weddings or anything associated with them. She didn’t know if he did either. He looked at her though and stood up, “Well, we need to go to the store.”“We do?” she asked. “We didn’t have plans to go out today?”“Two weeks isn’t a long time.” He laughed. “There are things we can do today that will make everything else go easier.”“Good, so you know how to do this.” She said as she looked at him.“Not really.” He laughed. “But I do know a wedding is easy enough. The reception is just a party. I know a place we can have the ceremony. We will drive out there tomorrow, and you can see it. If you like it, I know that I can rent it out, and we have the setting for everything. I think you

As they entered the next store, it was for parties. He looked at her as she looked around with wide eyes. “Did you never have a party?” he asked softly. He knew a lot about her right then. She had been the one to be“Not really.” She said. “I mean, I have gone to them, but I didn’t realize there was so much you could get that was all in one place. This is good to know for the future. It could also be a help since I didn’t know about any of this stuff was here.”“Well, look around. You are going to need balloons and other things as well. The area is open, so we can set it up outside or under a cabin area if the weather decides to go against us. But everything that we need is right here for it to be a great day.”“Balloons?” she asked.“You know to go around as decorations. I figured you really aren’
