I tell Anise about the dream and she tells me that dreams are wishes our heart and mind weave together and sometimes there are sprinkles of truth in them but I shouldn't get my hopes up unless I let her look into my mysterious lover.
I decide to have and tell her, "His name is Hiero Milez De Janko," when I finish talking she looks at me with an odd look. "what is it? Is it true is he dead?" I ask in a panic. She re composes herself and shakes her head at me.
"It's not that it's just that that's my cousins name, and he went mia after a press conference dedicated to finding his wife but I never listened to him because I'd always fall asleep, being a small town doctor gets exhausting and I thought he'd surely find her," Anise explains.
A press conference? missing wife? Fiance maybe but I surely wasn't his wife yet. I feel anger at myself for doubting that Hiero was looking for me. The report of his death flashes through my mind and I decide to withdraw myself from the buzz of social media as much as possible to avoid looking for any sign of Hiero because his death hurts less than facing the shame and guilt of mistakes.
In a few weeks of completely ignoring news, social media, and avoiding as much technology as possible I run into a predicament causing ripples in my decisions. I get hurt while stalking up on fresh air in the end of my time as one and a half people.
I found a public trail with many visitors throughout the day and decided to use it so that of anything ever did happen I'd be alright... eventually at least. I had just noticed the trail was kind of different where I was and at first I ignored the fact that I wasn't recognizing the trail completely but I was determined to be alright.
And with that I tripped landing myself half way between a rock and a hard place. Literally got caught between a boulder and it's mother stone. the brush of green concealed this particular past delightful place but it also meant my fate was in the balance as I felt pain from the slip and I thought I was feeling fake contractions but as I realized my phone wasn't with me neither was the pager I had.
In those hours of isolation, loneliness and seclusion I realized I didn't ever want my child to experience such things and I decided I'd do what I could to build a solid foundation of family for my child, save for a father I could give my child grandparents and aunts and uncles related by the trust and years spent in their company.
I was trapped by myself experiencing complications and decisions. I woke up not knowing I had fallen asleep and I was back with Hiero in our home. Hiero is smiling his beautiful smile at me and my heart feels gripped in anticipation and he drops on one knee.
"I know you already said yes in front of our guest but I have to let you know that I truly without a doubt love you, and I wish to spend the rest of my lives with you," Hiero says and places a kiss on my forehead, on my cheeks and on my lips. With the feel of his warmth we both get dressed in our pre wedding suits and we split ways to celebrate the end of our single days.
The day of the wedding is fairly nice beach worthy heat, disappointed in-laws, and the excitement of an event before it takes off. I see Hiero from a distance as I'm being dragged around for makeup and hair.
