“Once In a Lifetime” by Jaycee Jones

There is a trail of petals the same color as my dress. They are as white as fresh snow on a frigid winters morning. I follow the trail one step at a time. When I see Calvin my heart stops. I feel as if I might faint. He is kneeling down on one knee at the end smiling. I know what this means just as I would know if my sweet little girl, Ana was lying. His smile was as genuine as a moms once she has just conceived her dear lovely child. His eyes start to well up as do mine like a ripple effect. He reaches for my left hand. I start to sweat. My cheeks are as red as a tomato. It’s happening… but it’s happening so fast. It’s like when you see a car about to hit you but you don’t have enough time to react to it. Everything stats to blur. Cal starts to talk. I know he is professing his love for me and telling me other things that hopeless romantics say. I’m no longer Kasey Will… I’m Kasey Bell with a diamond ring on my left hand. I’m with the man of my dreams.
