Jake pulled Nora's chair out for her. He really never knew any woman like her. She fascinated him. He sat down in his chair and ordered a bottle of wine. "You've been working so hard, I figured you needed a night out." |

Nora got a text from Jake saying they were going out to dinner and she should wear something beautiful. No arguing. She was excited by the prospect so, she didn't. She smiled at him as she sat down. "Thank you." She sipped the wine he ordered. It was good. She no longer had to drink wine only when she was sad. "Did I tell you that you're the best boyfriend?" |

"Not lately you haven't," he smiled. They both got steaks, bloody, which was another reason he loved her. He wanted to keep her waiting, knowing that she would go crazy. |

"Well, you are." It was nice of him to want to take her out, but they had never been to such a high class place as this and he never demanded her to wear something beautiful. Something was up and he wasn't saying. The waiter took away their plates and brought out the dessert menu. All of the sudden, the band started playing that slow Glenn Miller song they danced to in Switzerland. "Jake..." |

Jake smiled and stood up. He got down on one knee and pulled a red velvet box from his pocket. "Nora, love. I have been wracking my brain for some magnificent way to do this--that you wouldn't find cliche. Champagne and dessert weren't an option because you finish whatever is in front of you so quickly, you'd never notice. It's too late to go to a ball game and put it on a scoreboard. And you'd find that tacky. Sky writing really isn't your style so I decided to go with the simplest, but most genuine way I know." He opened the box and revealed the diamond ring. "Nora McAllister, you are by far, the most difficult, challenging woman I have ever known. You leave your dishes in the sink for days. You stomp up and down during arguments. You wake me up at 6 because you're too impatient for me to get up. But I'll be damned if I didn't want you to do that for the rest of my life. Yes, you are challenging, but I've always loved a challenge, and there's no challenge I love more than you. You're beautiful, giving even though you won't admit it, and so clever. I'm sure you want me to shut up now and just ask it. Nora, will you marry me?" |

Nora's hand clasped her mouth as he bent down. She laughed. That was true. The ring would be long gone. She hated baseball. And sky writing reminded her of the Wizard of Oz. Tears stung her eyes when he opened the box. She laughed and the tears fell down her face. He was only wrong about one thing, she wouldn't mind if that speech went on forever. "Yes, Jake, I will marry you. How could I not? You swore during your proposal," she smiled. |

Jake grinned wide and put the ring on her finger. He wiped the tears off her face and kissed her. "Of all the things I said, of course, that'd be the one you remember." |

Nora leaned into the kiss. "Well, most of them were insulting." |

"So true," she laughed. "The only reason I wake you up is because I can't wait to see you. I used to hate mornings, but I love them with you," she smiled. |

"Well, then, I take it back. Wake me up any time you'd like," he smiled. "I love you," he kissed her again. |

"I love you too," even though she was in an expensive long dress, she jumped up into his arms. As she looked at him, she felt sad and she didn't know why. "That speech and this song are perfect. How did you know?" |

"You know me really well," she sighed as he put her down. |

"I should hope so. We are getting married," he noticed her mood change. |
