A cliff and a gun, 'No' is not an option!...

By Genevieve.

Darrel and I met in our first year of high school in grade 9. We sat near each other in many classes during our high school years, we ended up becoming pretty good friends but lost touch after graduation. On a snowy stormy day, I went out for lunch with my friend Natalie Gillen. Later that night Natalie went to her friend’s home, where Darrel also was.

                                                  He asked her for my number,
                                                   he called me that evening...


She mentioned to him how we had lunch earlier. He asked her for my number, he called me that evening and we spoke for nearly an hour. I had to end our conversation because I was leaving for the Dominican Republic but I told him I’d call him upon my return. I called him when I returned, we went out for dinner and the conversation flowed easily and natural it was so easy and fun. Months went by and we were still hanging out as friends, it blossomed from there.

 Six years and three dogs later on October 8th 2012 as we did every thanksgiving weekend Darrel brought me to his hunting camp in Calabogie for a hike, four-wheeling and to shoot skeet’s. It was a beautiful cool day, we hiked 45 mins to go to the lookout which oversees the picturesque view with all the Fall colours. 
  

 In the box of bullets 

there was a smaller box

 but I didn’t think anything of it...

Darrel was throwing the skeet’s while I attempted to shoot them. Darrel would reload the gun then I continued to fire, after another time needing to reload I went and grabbed more bullets. In the box of bullets there was a smaller box but I didn’t think anything of it other than it held smaller bullets. When I turned around, there was Darrel trying to kneel down awkwardly. He said “You missed something” then he reached in the box and took out the smaller box and opened it and proposed. We both forget what he said but defiantly remember saying yes. Walking back from the lookout Darrel said” I’m so happy you said yes" I replied "you brought me to a cliff with a gun, I wasn't going to say “no"
