Morgan proposed atoast to new beginnings and happiness. We quickly finished the bottle andI started to really relax. Shortly there after, Dr. Maurer walked in andjoined us. I don't know if it was the bubbly, but he looked really good.We had a nice dinner and then Morgan said that it.

At the end of the school day I wait for Des and gave her a hug that would last her for the next two week before getting on the school bus.
