Hero Found


Cassandra never thought this day would come. In the past, her relationships had never gotten this far. Colby would intimidate her boyfriends without even trying, or they wouldn't be able to deal with her devotion to her art, or they couldn't cope with living with a deaf person. But, with Don, everything was different from what she'd experienced before. He already knew Colby, he knew how much her work meant to her, and he'd actually made the effort to learn sign language. For her! He had actually learned sign language. That was what blew Cassandra away the most. He didn't see her deafness as an obstacle to overcome; to him, it was just another facet of who she was.

It had come as a complete shock to her when Don had gotten down on one knee in front of God and half a restaurant. In all her life, she couldn't remember being happier than she was now.

A hand on her shoulder brought her out of her thoughts. She looked over at Don and smiled. Don returned her smile and leaned down to kiss her forehead. "Excited?" He asked.

Cassandra's smile turned into a grin. "Very," she replied.

Don grinned as well and sat behind her on the bed, his legs bracketing hers, and his arms wrapping around her waist. She sighed contentedly and leaned back into his strength. Despite all that she had been through in her life, she couldn't bring herself to be upset or regretful about any of it. After all, it had brought her to this point in her life and she wouldn't give this up for the world.

End.
