Finally after waiting for everything to be put away, James spoke.
"What is this place?"
"This was my mother 's house, before she and my dad were married. When she died, my dad forgot about it. It 's my hideaway now."
"This is what you wanted to show me?"
"Yes, one day I 'm going to live here."
"That sounds wonderful."
They smiled and she showed him around. The first place they went was her room where she laid some sheets and blankets by the bed.
"This was her room, it 's mine now."
Then they moved into the next room. The ceiling was covered with midnight blue paint and shiny golden stars. She put down some sheets and blankets. She told him that he would sleep here.

They worked on cleaning up and putting everything back in place.
Ella turned the corner to see James watching her.
"What?"
"Will you come here a second?"
"Of course, what 's wrong?"
She walked over to him and he enveloped her in his arms. Then, he suddenly let go and went down on one knee.
“What are you doing?!"
"Ella…"
"Hold on!"
"I know were too young to get married, so I wanted to ask you to marry me later and wear this until you 're ready."
He produced from his pocket a little box and opened it to reveal a beautiful ring with colliding swirls of gold silver and diamonds. It looked perfectly like a wave with a diamond cave hiding on the side. On the inside, it said I love more than the meadow loves the flowers.
"Yes."
"What!?"
"Yes, I say yes."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"That was a beautiful story mommy."
"Thank you. That 's how your father and I fell in love. See, I still wear the ring."
"Can I see the inside?"
"Sure."
Ella, now Elizabeth, took off the ring and handed it to her sweet daughter. On the inside were the words, "I love you more than the meadow loves the

    Deanna, leggy, beautiful, and daring, came a long way from a rugged childhood and the time of liquor bottles aimed at her mother’s head. So said a Washington Post reporter in 2008, “Councilwoman Deanna Flin is a fresh face and a breath of fresh air in D.C. politics.” In the eyes of her colleagues (boozing old school boys with potty mouths and potbellies), she personified Hillary Clinton, the little engine that would, if she could, overturn the political status quo. “Too big for her britches,” said one, which struck Deanna as funny, but not in the ha-ha-ha way.…
