Snowed In: An Erotic Romance

Chapter 12

With their dinner date a success, Mike had another surprise for Carrie. With the help of Jim, and Terrie, Mike set everything in motion for Carrie’s surprise.

Carrie was surprised when a horse-drawn carriage was waiting outside her apartment for her, courtesy of Mike. As Carrie was helped into the carriage by the driver, the driver took Carrie to the destination where Mike said to take her. Carrie was in awe as the driver drove the carriage around town until it reached the cabin—the place where they first met.

The cabin was decorated for a party and candles lit up the walk way. It looked quite different from their first time there. Carrie almost didn’t recognize it. The cabin looked like a magical place instead of the dilapidated cabin on their first visit.

Then Carrie saw Mike, as he stepped out into the walkway as his face glistened from the candles lighting the walk way. Mike walked over to the carriage and helped Carrie out and escorted her inside the cabin where a party was going on.

As soon as Carrie and Mike entered the building, all eyes were on them. Terrie came over to see her friend. She was happier than she ever seen her. But Terrie didn’t get to chat with Carrie because Mike had escorted her out onto the middle of the living room floor that was made into a dance floor. As the music played Carrie’s favorite song, “George Strait’s ‘I Cross My Heart’”, Carrie felt at ease in Mike’s arms as they swayed to the music.

But the night was far from over as Mike pulled from his pocket a black velvet box to bare a ring as Mike got down on bended knee to a surprised Carrie.

“Carrie, would you do me the honor and become my wife?”

As all eyes were on Carrie, waiting with baited breath for her response, Carrie gave him her reply: “Yes, I will marry you!”

Carrie extended her left hand to Mike where he placed the engagement ring on her third finger. Music played and balloons were released celebrating Mike and Carrie’s engagement.

Terrie got up in front of the crowd to make a toast: “I want to congratulate my friend here tonight. I wish her and Mike the best life has to offer. They deserve it after the everything life gave them the last few months. To Carrie and Mike!”

Glasses clinked celebrating Mike and Carrie’s night.
