Spencer had been acting off all day. He had forgotten to take his morning coffee with him, when he got home he had forgotten to take off his coat and had walked around in it for a good twenty minutes. And he had been bugging her about making their reservation out to dinner, which was odd because normally it was Lisa who had to remind him to get his nose out of a book and eat every now and then.
At dinner Spencer's off behavior had gotten even odder. Though he was by no means graceful Spencer had somehow managed to become a complete klutz. When he had nearly knocked over their bottle of wine Lisa had had enough.
"Spencer what is going on with you?" She eventually asked.
"What? Nothing." Lisa shot him a look and Spencer's face softened, and he seemed to relax a little bit. "I promise. I'm fine."
Lisa wasn't entirely sure she believed him, but when he reached over and took her hand in his without knocking over his water glass she decided she'd let it slide. For now at least.
It had been a year and four months since she and Spencer had finally gotten back together, or gotten over their extremely long fight, as they preferred to think of it. They had been living together for the last four, and things were going well, in fact they were going more than well, neither one of them had ever been happier.
They finished their dinner and walked home. When they got home they hung up their coats and Lisa started to go upstairs only to find herself being held back by Spencer holding her hand.
"What is it?" Lisa asked.
Spencer paused, "You look beautiful." He told her.
Lisa smiled widely, and stepped down from the stair she was on to stand on the same floor as Spencer. "Thank you." She said before wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him.
They parted and Lisa tried again to ascend the stairs, only to once again be stopped by Spencer gripping her arm. Again she turned to him this time simply giving him a questioning look.
"I've been trying to pick the best moment to do this all night." He said, looking nervous.
For a brief second Lisa had a sense of panic, the thought that he might be leaving her again flashed through her mind but she pushed it aside, waiting for all the information.
"I can't think of a better moment than standing here in our home with you." Spencer swallowed thickly, near terror coating his features and slowly he knelt down onto one knee.
Lisa stopped breathing.
With shaking hands Spencer pulled out a box from his pocket and held it up. He opened the box revealing a shining diamond ring.
"Lisa Anne Bennett, will you marry me?"
Lisa let out the breath she was holding when he finished speaking. She didn't see the box he was holding, or the beautiful ring in side of it, she couldn't move her eyes from Spencer's face as she watched his lips form each word.
Her hands were cupped around her mouth and her answer was muffled, but Spencer didn't have to wait to hear it clearly. Pulling her hands away from her face and repeated the answer.
"Yes." She waited for Spencer to stand before throwing her arms around him again, hugging him tightly. Lisa pulled back to arms-length, just far enough to give space for Spencer to place the ring on her finger. Again she didn't even notice the gorgeous piece of jewelry he had placed on her hand, all she noticed was Spencer's smiling lips, as they pressed against hers.
