A gift from my heart

I was sitting through a thunderstorm at the back porch of my house, and I had just asked the girl of my dreams out, and she said I had to give her time to make her decision.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and started to fold the paper on my lap. I didn't know where it would take me, and what really I was doing, and I ended up folding a fox (her favorite animal). It had the eyebrow curves and everything. I gave it to her that next day, and from then on we've been happily in love together since Dec. 28, 2009.
