that he was was nervous. She could also tell that it was a strange emotion for him. He looked too confident to ever feel nervous. She supposed the she managed to bring it out in him.
"It's okay," she said. "Let's forget about it."
"Okay," he said, weakly.
"Let's try this again. My day today was great. The children are fantastic!"
Phil nodded his head and picked up his cue. "That's great!" he said. "I'm glad that everything went so well. Kids are wonderful, aren't they?"
Jane smiled. Then laughed. They walked together to the teacher's room.
When they left the school, both looked forward to seeing each other again.

A few months later, they were sitting on a park bench together. Phil had asked her to go for a walk. The weather was beautiful. It had sounded like a great idea.
The two had started dating not long after they had met one another. The other teachers used to joke about it with them. Nothing serious. Just little comments here and there.
Jane and Phil enjoyed spending time with one another. That was all that mattered.
Things were going great between them. They talked to each other constantly. They spent their break times together. At night, if they weren't together, they'd talk on the phone.
Yes, everything was grea t .
Phil grabbed Jane's hand and placed it between both of his.
"Jane," he said, softly. She looked at him. "I love you."
Jane gasped. She hadn't meant to, but she couldn't stop herself . Lov e was not a word that she took lightly. She knew that Phil looked at it the same way. She hadn't expected him to say it.
She had wanted to say it herself a few times, only she wasn't sure that they had been dating long enough. It felt like a funny thing for her to base her feelings on. She did, nonetheless.
"I love you too," she said.
He kissed her.
They were in love.

Jane stood in front of the doors. When they opened, she would be led down to her future husband. She looked at her father. He was watching her. She could see the pride in his eyes.
"You look beautiful," he said. "Phil is very lucky to have you."
"Thank you," Jane replied. She kissed her father on the cheek.
The doors opened. Everyone stood up. They all wanted to see her walk down the aisle.
Jane felt her heart begin to flutter. In a few minutes she'd be married to the man that she loved. They'd be able to start their life together.
They could even think about having children!
Jane's father squeezed her hand.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
She smiled, then nodded her head.
The music started. Jane and her father began to walk down the aisle. Her bride's maids were already at the front waiting for her.
She kept glancing at all of the faces around her. Family and friends. They had all gathered to see her on the happiest day of her life.
She looked down the aisle. Phil was standing there, faced toward the altar. She wanted him to turn around and look at her, but she knew that he was feeling too emotional. He had said that he knew he'd start to cry once he saw her. He wanted to wait until she was right there, standing in front of him. Then she could hold his hand and get him through it. Jane had said that she would. Still, she wished that he'd look. Even just to take a little peek.
She approached the alter . It felt like it was taking forever to get there ! Each step was well controlled even though she wanted to run up there and throw her arms around him. She wanted to kiss him. She wanted them to be together. Forever.
Her father continued to walk beside her, smiling. He nodded his head at all of the guests, his eyes wide with happiness for his daughter. He liked Phil. He thought that she had made a good choice. He'd be a good husband.
Jane came closer to the altar. She could see the priest's face better now. He was smiling too. She smiled back.
She came up to the back of Phil. He hadn't yet looked at her . He must be more worked up than she had thought . She went up beside him and put her hand in his. Then she
