Chapter One: Dinner Together

Cameron Tait looked at himself in the mirror and adjusted his tie self consciously. He wanted to look his best tonight and he had decided to wear a suit. He was taking Kerry out for dinner and he was going to ask her to marry him, again. Cameron really hoped that she would yes to him this time and that his proposal wouldn't be so disasterous as before. He wanted it all to be perfect. He walked across the room to his bedside table and picked up the dark green velvet jewellery box. Cameron opened it and fingered the white gold diamond ring inside, he hoped that Kerry liked it. He looked at clock and realised that if he didn't leave soon he was going to be late and that really wouldn't make a good impression. Cameron quickly pocketed the ring and headed out of the house to pick Kerry up.

Kerry brushed her long blonde hair with the hairbrush and stared at herself in the bedroom mirror. She was getting paranoid now and she only had fifteen minutes left before Cameron arrived to take her out. Kerry was wearing a dark blue, halterneck dress and black heels. She had had no idea what to wear and she was glad that she wasn't working that day and had been able to spend the whole day choosing her outfit. Usually she wouldn't have put so much effort into her looks just to go out for dinner but she knew tonight was going to be special. Kerry was still undecided about whether or not marrying Cameron would be the best thing for her but she knew that if he asked her again she would say yes. Kerry loved him with all her heart and she didn't want to let him go. She was just worried about making exactly the same mistake as she had with Luke. They had got married far too early on in their relationship and they obviously had not known everything about each other. Kerry was afraid of getting hurt again and she didn't want to go through another marital breakdown.

Cameron pulled up outside Kerry's flat and waited with the engine running. He could see the light on in her flat and every now and then he would see her walk passed the window. As he waited for her to come outside Cameron rehearsed exactly what he was going to say to her in his head. Cameron was so nervous and he could feel his palms getting sweatier by the minute even though it was a cool March evening. After ten minutes, although it seemed much longer, he saw the light go off in Kerry's flat and then she came out through the front door. He smiled when he saw her and felt a little less nervous.

"Hey!" She grinned, getting into his car and shutting the door.

"Hiya." Cameron grinned back, leaning over to kiss her cheek. "You look beautiful."

Kerry blushed. "Thank you Cam." She smiled. "You don't look bad yourself!" She said taking in his suit and tie.

As they drove to the restaurant they talked about work and other things but avoided talking about their relationship, both of them were on edge.

"This place is amazing!" Kerry exclaimed once they had arrived at the restaurant a few minutes later. She hadn't been here before, it was a place that was usually out of her price range. Clearly Cameron wanted to make this occassion as special as possible which only increased the amount of butterflies in Kerry's stomach. The waiter showed them to an outside table on the terrace which was lit with white fairy lights and there were candles on the tables.

Cameron smiled as he pulled Kerry's chair out for her to sit on.

"I'm glad you like it." He said, opening the bottle of red wine that was already on the table and pouring it into the two glasses.

Kerry thanked him and took a sip, she felt a little more relaxed now and decided that she was going to enjoy this evening no matter what.
