“Let’s have dessert.”
“Really?” In all of the times they had gone out, Grant never suggested ordering dessert. Kelly was always the one who wanted—and ate—the sweets. Secretly, she admired his healthy willpower.
“Yes, and you don’t have to sound so surprised,” Grant laughed at her expression.
“It’s just…very unlike you,” Kelly countered. Grant shrugged.
“Everyone can have a moment of desire every now and then, right?” She liked how he said it, and liked even more that his hand calmly slid along her arm. She loved him so much.
It seemed to take a while for their dessert to come to the table. Kelly found that to be odd. They had not ordered anything terribly complicated. She was mildly relieved when she saw the waiter coming with their plates.
“Here you are, Mr. Stone.” He put Grant’s down before him. “And for you, Miss Wilson.”
He set her plate down in front of her. Immediately, Kelly’s eyes fell on the white plate. She had ordered chocolate cake, and something seemed to stand out immediately. Something was written in red letters on the white plate.
She thought that she certainly must be seeing things. Why would there be any type of writing? But further inspection told her that no, there were words written in red script. She read them to herself.
Will you marry me?
Kelly gasped. Her head shot up, immediately meeting Grant’s eyes.
“What?”
“Look at the cake.” Grant gave her a nervous smile. That made her curious.
She did. There, settled on top of the chocolate layer was a platinum ring. It had the largest, square-cut diamond in it that Kelly had ever seen. She was somewhat aware that her hand was picking it up, holding it in front of her. The diamond gleamed in the restaurant’s dim light. This was real. This was happening.
“You…” Kelly looked up at Grant. “You had all of this planned?”
“Yes I did.” He still looked so nervous. Reaching across the table, he took her hand which was not holding the ring. “Marry me, Kelly. I love you so much. I just want us to be together forever.”
Kelly’s heart melted. She loved him too. The only thing that she wanted was for them to have a life together.
“Oh, Grant.” She leaned across the table to kiss him. “Of course I will marry you.”
Grant’s eyes lit up. The nervous smile fell off his face and was replaced with one of pure radiance.
“I love you,” he responded.
“I love you too,” Kelly whispered.
Grant took the ring from her fingers. Gently, he slipped it onto the fourth finger of her left hand. Kelly held her hand out in front of her. It looked perfect. Her eyes brimmed with tears of happiness.
Kelly got out of her chair. She moved over to give Grant a proper kiss. This night was her dream come true. She was going to have the man she loved with all of her heart—and they were going to be together forever.
