Window of Opportunity ch. 45
When she picked up the third rose and I saw a ring attached to it, I completely lost it. I no longer had any control. My wildest most farfetched dream was being presented to me by the person I loved most in the world and I was floored. As soon as she said it represented our future, I broke down hysterically crying and she put the rose down and pulled me into her arms. She too was crying and continuously murmured in my ear that it was all ok. We would make it all ok. I had no doubts and remembering some of the breathing exercises that Suzanne had introduced me to, I was able to resume some semblance of control. Tina pulled away and picked up the rose again. She spoke so gently of love and support. She insinuated future children. She spoke of the commitment ceremony being something that she conceded to and marriage something that she didn’t want in the past. She then changed gears and said that she wanted to be my wife. She needed to be unified in a legal setting to me and our family. She would not look back with regrets because the only regret would be not to marry me. Although not now, since we still have work to do on rebuilding our relationship but in the future, she asked me to marry her. She presented me with a ring similar to one that we had once looked at years ago but she decided that there was no practically in it. Although I loved it, she said our love did not need to be expressed through that much money. I was not in total agreement but I understood. That in itself also shocked me. She put all sensibility away when picking out the ring. Cost must not have been a factor…rather she took into consideration what she knew I would like.
I just stood there stunned and the look on her face became concerned. I knew I had to gather the ability to say something…to reassure her that this is what I wanted but words were still at a loss for me. I pulled her to me and kissed her. I held her and cried. After about 15 minutes of standing there I finally felt like I could talk again.

What an amazing chapter! So many beautiful moments…And so many remarkable spots to speak of…But I’ll restrain myself…My favorite line, I think, was: “I want to know what she’s feeling and what she’s thinking.” To me, that’s a picture of love…wanting to embrace the all of it. Forgiveness is a truly marvelous thing. Not sure I’m making any sense…but…Wonderfully deep storytelling. Thanks, nagster :)
Your story just keeps getting better with each Chapter!!!! Thank you
Yay they’re engaged:) Can’t wait to see what happens with the folks! PPS
What a wonderful chapter Newage. Having them loving one another so deeply after everything they’ve been through is truly wonderful. Now let’s see what the parents will do, although I think they have learned their lesson and will not be able to find enough ways to be nice and sweet to everyone and besides Angie will talk their heads off after she gets used to them, about a day probably. PPS
how can anyone not feel the love these two have for each other and their friends.hopefully everything will alright with tina and her parents! :)
Everything you wrote was so beautiful. The whole chapter was awesome. Love Angie Pink hat. Shane was so funny,saying that Angie was just like Alice. Motor mouth. thanks so much for posting
memorable writing, memorable TiBette, memorable in-love…now the parents…pps
Newage, you are on fire with this story. Seriously, you are an exceptional writer.
awesome chapter! I lol’d at Shane knowing one of the poker women hahaha!! You definitely have my vote for most romantic dates. Thanks.
So much is left to our interpretation on the show between B&T. Your writing gives us the reunion story that should have been told! Great chapter!
Time for another envelope?! ;o)
What a very Wonderful story ! Love the line: ” She was a woman possessed and since I kept up with her, I must have been too …” LOL makes me giggle!
Yes!!! Glad Bette managed to mumble that word out after recovering from her state of shock. It’s the only apt respone to Tina’s heartfelt proposal. Sooo happy for these two. Loved the gleam in Tina’s eyes when she looked around Dean Porter’s office. I have a feeling they’ll eventually do the deed there; it’s only a matter of time. *wink* If they can make it at the backseat of a cab, they can certainly make it anywhere! Loved the adorable motormouth Angie who must have gotten that trait from Alice through osmosis. Is this the calm before the probable awkward, stormy visit of Tina’s folks? Let’s see how that reunion will play out. Btw, I hope you’re not done with the envelopes yet. There’s so much more about their storied past that I want to find out like when did they decide to live together? What and where was their first love nest? How and when did they decide to have a family? What about their commitment ceremony? Just throwing some ideas. :> Thanks for a truly enjoyable chapter, newagegirl! PPS :>
