Jasmine twirled angel hair pasta around her fork then scooped up a shrimp dripping with sauce. Somewhere in her inner consciousness was an awareness of the other people in the restaurant but to her, Javi was the only person there. She watched him reach into his pocket as he pulled out a folded sheet of lined paper.

“There’s something I want to say,” he became nervous clearing his throat several times. “I…uh…wrote it down. Jasmine, my life has changed so much since we first met. It will never be the same. I thank God for you.” He paused to look into her eyes then back to the paper. “We have seen some dark times, now things seem brighter. I love you as I’ve never loved before. You have become my best friend. Will you be my wife?” Before she could answer, he held up a diamond ring. “No matter what other changes are in store for me, one thing I know will never change is my love for you and that beautiful little girl, Samantha.”

Jasmine extended her hand and let him slide the ring onto her finger. “Yes.” She reached for his face and kissed his mouth, giggled, and kissed him once more.

A petite waitress approached their table. “Will you be having any dessert tonight?”

Jasmine puckered her lips with what was left of her lip-gloss. “No, thank you.”

“I think we’re ready to go.” Javi gave Jasmine a wink.

The waitress placed the bill on the table.

And while waiting for their car at the valet, Javi held Jasmine tight in his arms in a public display of affection.

An elderly woman elbowed her legally blind husband, “Look Harry, newlyweds. Aren’t they adorable?”

Javi gave the old woman a big crooked smile.
