THE DANGEROUS MAN

One year later

"Mama?" I turned around to see my two year old son walk into our bedroom.
Flynn's blue eyes were bright when I kneeled down to him.
I just put on a yellow floral summer dress and brushed my brown hair.
My son was holding a small piece of paper and gave it to me.
"What's that, Flynn?" I smiled at him and looked at the piece of paper between my fingers.

'Come downstairs. Love, Harry :)'

I smiled at the cute note and picked Flynn up. I walked downstairs with him and noticed a trail of rose petals on the floor.
"Dada mama." Flynn waved with both his hands and giggled.

I smiled at my son and followed the trail of petals.
It led me through the hallway into the living room.
"What's that, sweetie?" I looked at Flynn and set him down.
Rose petals in the shape of a heart were on the floor and there were chocolate bars and some candles on the coffee table.

"Ela?" I turned around to see my boyfriend coming up to me.
Harry was wearing a white shirt and black skinny jeans.
He had a smile on his face, gave me a quick kiss and picked up our son. "Good job, buddy."
He gave Flynn a high five and set him down again.
Harry put his hands on my waist and looked me in the eyes.
"I'm not a man who gives many speeches but all I can say is that I'm so grateful to have you in my life. You gifted me our son and I couldn't be more in love with you. You're such an amazing mum and Flynn and I love you so much. Ela Young-"

Harry let go of my hand and got down on one knee. He pulled out a small, red velvet box and opened it.
I knew what was coming next.

"Ela Young. Will you marry me?"
Tears of happiness filled my eyes and I nodded my head.
"YES YES HARRY YES I WILL MARRY YOU I LOVE YOU!" I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him.
Harry put a ring with a small diamond on my finger and kissed me again.
He wiped off my tears and smiled.
"I love you so much."
"I love you too, baby."
Flynn giggled and we both started to laugh. I picked him up and our son smiled. "Mama. Dada. Play."

"Yes, we're gonna go to the playground with you now." Harry kissed Flynn on the head and put his hand on my lower back.

I couldn't believe that I was engaged. I was so happy and couldn't put it into words.

The sun was out and Harry and I went to the playground with Flynn.
We built a sand castle and afterwards we went to the park to feed the ducks.
"Duck quack quack." Flynn slowly walked over to a duck and threw some bread towards it.
It was a beautiful day and our son fell asleep in his stroller on our way back home.
