Abandon bites her bottom lip and nods, looking at Aaron with her blue eyes sparkling with emotions. He looked at her and saw the joy and happiness in her face. "Does that mean when I turn twenty, you will marry me?" She couldn't hold back her excitement and rushed over and gave Aaron a hug.
Aaron had a stunned look on his face. 'Marry me! I never imagined ever getting married,' he couldn't help, but wonder what his future held for him. Abandon's eyes were filled with enthusiasm. Aaron quickly lifted his head and smiled. "Of course! I will marry you." He shook his head in agreement.
Aaron was aware of her illness and what followed. What lay ahead for her were only years of suffering and pain. At any given time, Abandon's life could be stolen by death. Even a heart transplant couldn't save her. He had given her a reason to hope because, without hope, there is nothing to live for. Aaron grinned at her, she, in return, was helping him with his sorrow.
