"He came over to my house," Nick repeated not sure if he should tell her the whole story.
"Go on," she insisted.
"He said he lost his ring, and he was all freaked out and he said he, are you sure he didn't tell you about this?"
"Nick..Pat's dead," Candice whispered as tears filled her eyes.
"Ohmigod..I had no clue I'm so sorry!"
"Why did he come over to your house," she demanded through clenched teeth.
"Like I was sayin' he said he lost his ring and so he wanted me to help him search your house for it and we never found it," Nick whispered. "He also told me, he loved you with all his heart and showed me the ring he bought you."
"A ring?" Candice asked as tears formed in her eyes.
"He said he was gonna marry you someday, not any time soon cuz ya'll were too young but he had it all planned. He was gonna become the owner of his own business and let you act and," Nick stopped when he heard the loud sobs coming from the other end of the phone. "You alright?"
"Yeah," she whipped her eyes. "I'm fine, what else?"
"He said he wanted to fly home, and it wasn't ever about his Truck."
"Nick," she sobbed. "I miss him so much."
"I'm so sorry."
"Nick why didn't you tell me the other day," Candice asked wiping her tears away.
"I thought you already knew I thought you just called to bug me."
"Oh well thanks and I'm gonna go now."
"I hope I can find a love like that," Nick whispered under his breath. "Bye."
"Bye Nick," she smiled.

"Aj?" She called walking down the stairs. "Aj?" She called again; no answer. She picked up a piece of paper and read it.
