Home is where the heart is

The following morning he woke before her as always but left a note on his side of the bed. A sunflower laying on top. The note ready. "Morning love, I've set a trail for you this morning there are clues along the way. Come find me, I'll be waiting."


Her first clue was simple. "This is where I first laid eyes on you, it was clear you would be one interesting gal."

When Ryan woke up, she yawned and smiled at the sunflower laying on Levi's side of the bed. She looked at the not and read it. She was curious as to what possibly could be happening but she went with it. She got dressed in comfort clothes since this was a trail and then saw her first clue. She couldn't help but smile. The shop. She hugged Bella before she left then went to the shop to notice no one was there. She blinked and walked in and searched for the note and it was exactly where she thought it would be.

"Hi love,


Looks like you found the trail I've set for you. For your next couple clues you'll have to backtrack. your next clue is close by, she's not hard to spot. At first you didn't like her much but you've come to like her, at the fair I even let you drive her." Just outside the shop he left Loretta for her to find along with another sunflower.

Ryan couldn't help but laugh and shake her head as she left the shop to go and look for Loretta. When she did, she smiled upon finding another sunflower. What possibly could all this be for? Ryan had to admit, she was enjoying this.

"You're getting closer,


Take Loretta and find the next clue, I promised you a life here. This is going to be a little more difficult though, a familiar face is going to lead you the rest of the way just don't let him get distracted by all the pretty girls. " At the next location Brett was waiting with the next clue and yet another sunflower. He was in on the whole plan and he was happy for his friend and even more excited for him when he realized Ryan wasn't catching on.

 

[isax]

Ryan laughed as she shook her head but smiled. "Promised me a life here...That's harder." She whispered then went in Loretta and smiled as she turned her on. "What is Levi planin' Loretta?" She asked and then rolled the windows down as she drove off to where she was promised a life and upon arriving, she got out of Loretta and smiled as she saw Brett holding a sunflower. "What's he up to?" She asked him as she walked over. She wasn't all that dressed up. She wore just black tights, converse and an oversized sweater. Her hair down and natural.

Brett simply laughed with bright eyes. "If I told ya he would kill me." Brett says with a laugh. Reaching into his jacket pocket he handed he the next clue.


"If you've come this far I assume Brett listened to instructions, for once.


Alright, not much farther to go,


I left the next clue with Bell but you'll have to find her. Under the trees, this is where you had a change of heart for your cowboy when you discovered his tragedy. Truth is, it led me to you, can you find it?"


At the river Bella was waiting patiently with a box in hand.

 

[isax]

Ryan laughed as she shook her head then hugged Brett before leaving and heading to the river. She laughed as she realized Bella wasn't in sight. She sighed and began to look up at the trees. What tree? Finally upon seeing Bella, she smiled and hugged the girl close. "What's Levi planin' Bell?" She asked as she tried to pry it out of her. Now Ryan was curious.

Bella shrugged. "Don't ask me, I just know better than not to listen to him." Handing her the box she smiled. The box had both the clue and another sunflower taped it it.


"Have you figured it out yet?


Take this box and go change, I'm sure you'll be able to find your best clue easily."


In the box was a new pair of boots and a long lace wintery dress. In their room the next clue was taped to the the mirror after she left.

 

[isax]

Ryan shook her head and took the box then went home and when she changed, she smiled at how she looked. She looked in the mirror and imagined her wedding day and how she would be wearing a white lace dress with boots just like this. She couldn't help but laugh a bubbly laugh at the thought then looked at the last clue.

"So close,


I bet you look beautiful you're next clue is waiting your arrival. He's a character and at first everyone was unsure of him but you pulled trough and proves of us all wrong. I can't wait to see you."

 

[isax]

Ryan laughed and then smiled as she went out to the stables and smiled at Jax. "Hey boy." She whispered and went over to kiss him softly then smiled. "What's Levi up to?" She asked with a laugh as Jax neighed.

Inside Jax's saddle was the final clue.


"You told me to take it easy but I didn't listen, I bet you can't guess where I've been sneaking off too. Take Jax and follow the trail and you'll find out.


I love you, see you there."


It wasn't a long ride but Levi left a trail of sunflower petals in the snow for her to follow. At the end of the trail was a beautiful sight. <p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_11/ImageUploadedByTapatalk1417382399.531307.jpg.0921f45742e0da26bb8baf45fc0dd0e9.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="35750" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_11/ImageUploadedByTapatalk1417382399.531307.jpg.0921f45742e0da26bb8baf45fc0dd0e9.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>

Ryan was a bit confused with this clue but she did as he said and Jax followed the sunflower path laid out and when she saw the house, she gasped and felt tears fall. She jumped off the horse and then walked up the stairs and then entered the house, her tears evident. "Levi?" She asked as she admired the beauty of the house. What was all of this for?

Levi though she didn't know it was one step ahead of her all day and in the final moments he was waiting for her he had to take a deep breath to compose himself. He heard her call and he stood. His hands sweaty, he whipped them on his dress pants as he waited for her to wander up the stairs to their new room.

 

[isax]

Ryan walked around the house and couldn't but smile at the beauty it held. She went up the stairs and explored the rooms up there and when she walked into her and Levis new room, she smiled at him. "Hey there cowboy." She whispered as she walked in and smiled at the decor of the room.

He smiled and stepped towards her. "You found me." He says with a smile before he leaned down to kiss her and felt her wet cheeks. "What's the matter? Why are you crying?"

 

[isax]

"Because of the house Levi. I can't believe this is what you were working on this entire time." She whispered and kissed him softly. "I love you so much." She whispered again with a laugh as she began to cry again.

"Shhh don't cry," wiping away her tears her smiled taking her into a hug. "I love you too." He whispers when she calmed down he kissed her again. "There's a lot of things you don't know. Like where I was a few nights ago." With a smile at her face he continued. "I wasn't with Rachel, I was with your father."

 

[isax]

Ryan became confused at this and then looked at him. "Why? What were you and pa talkin' bout?" She asked him wondering what exactly those two were up to.

Levi was enjoying the simple fact she didn't know what he was upset to. With a smile he looked up at her with soft eyes. "You." Seeing her standing here took his breath away and suddenly his nerves came back to him, his hands shaking slightly again as he but his lip. "I asked him for the most precious thing s man could ever give, I asked him for his daughter." With a nervous smile he made the move down on one knee and pulled the ring out of his pocket. "Ryan, will you marry me?" His heart was pounding through his chest at this point and he prayed she wouldn't turn him away. <p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_11/ImageUploadedByTapatalk1417385324.353045.jpg.f0eec1806373a18670fd0f3fb9b20a3d.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="35753" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_11/ImageUploadedByTapatalk1417385324.353045.jpg.f0eec1806373a18670fd0f3fb9b20a3d.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


(It's a sunflower. :3)

 

[isax]

Ryan couldn't believe this was happening. She gasped and looked at the ring then at Levi. "Oh Levi." She whispered and looked at him as she began to cry. "Yes. A million times yes." She said and then smiled. This was all so perfect. Levi was now officially Ryan's and Ryan was now officially Levis. No day was better then this.


(You find the best engagement rings ever[emoji30] it's so perfect.)

Levi smiled the widest, brightest smile and placed the ring on her finger before standing again and kissing her. "You didn't expect that today I bet." He says with a laugh as she admired the ring. He was glad he didn't have to hide it anymore and most importantly, she said yes.

 

[isax]

(Haha I use pintrest)


"I really didn't." She whispered but then smiled as she kissed him again. "But I couldn't have asked for anything better." She added and then kissed his cheek. "So what now my lovely fiancé." She asked as she stayed looking into his eyes.

"I suppose I could tell you everyone knew and I can bet their all waiting outside in the cold for you to open the door." He says with a laugh taking her hand and walking back down the stairs. The sight of seeing everyone crowd around her for hugs and to to see the ring warned his heart. He couldn't wait until she was officially his wife and they could start their life together.
