Dr Blake Mysteries

The best birthday present ever

Jean and Blake

It's the day that Lucien and Jean had been waiting for, Lucien looks at the piece of paper in front of him. It's been 7 months and the divorce has come though, as he plans how to tell Jean, he remembers that it her birthday, he had nearly forgotten but this piece of paper has saved him. He can't wait to see her reaction. He goes to find her to tell her the good news.

He finds her in the sunroom, he walks up behind her, she feels his arms around her waist as Lucien whispers "Happy Birthday." She turns to face him she looks up at him with a look that says "where's my present" he smiles a smile where his eyes light up. "I have some news," she can see his nervous. "Whats wrong?" she asks. He is not sure how to continue. "My darling Jean, will you do me the honour of being of my wife?" as he gets the ring out of his pocket. Jean finally catches up. "so,the divorce has come though then?" Jean looks at him with a smile in her voice. "Yess, in this morning mail, so." "of course I will, that is the best birthday present I have ever received." Jean placed her hand on his cheek closing the gap between them and kisses him passionately. When they separate Jean cleans off her hands on her apron Lucien slips the ring on. "How much longer do you want to wait to be Mrs Jean Blake?" he asks with a jovial tone. "not too long, that has a certain ring to it." She smiles.
