Alex comes boring in on the Killarney motor bike looking for Claire. She smiles as he pulls up on his bike
"Come on get on." Claire looks at him confused as she jumps on. As they boar out of Drovers Claire wraps her arms around his waist
"Where are we going?"
Alex grins "You'll see."
Claire nods Claire smiles as the wind blows through her hair as they ride along in the country air and up over the Drovers land her and Tess' land. Before she knew it the Alex stops the bike on one of the most beautiful parts of Drovers although to her all of Drovers was beautiful as they climb of the bike Claire looks at Alex confused
"Why are we here?"
Alex grins "Close your eyes trust me."
Claire giggles "Ok but why?"
Alex grabs her hand "Come on close your eyes we don't have all day woman!" As he smirks Claire giggles. As he leads her down the bank to the beautiful river that flows into the dam Alex stands beside Claire "Open." As Claire opens her eyes she smiles at Alex as she faces the picnic blanket lying in front of her with all her favourite food as he takes her into his embrace she sighs "I love you." Alex swallows a lump and gets down on one knee as he pulls out a small black box Claire covers her mouth Alex takes her hands
"Claire Louise McLeod you are the most beautiful, amazing, stubborn woman I have ever met and I don't know what I would do without you, you make me feel this unexplained feeling but it's a mixture of everything that makes me love you. So Claire McLeod will you marry me?"
Claire sniffles and smiles "Yes."
Alex shakes as he places the ring on her finger he stands up Claire giggles as he kisses her
"Most stubborn ha?"
Alex nods "Yes stubborn but I love you."
Claire leans her head on his chest
Did Tess know?"
Alex nods "Yes, come one let's eat."
A few hours pass Tess sits in the old Drovers kitchen all alone wishing Nick was there beside her holding her hand telling her everything will be ok and he loves her tears start to fill her eyes as she searches through her photo album as she turned to the last page of her album lying in front of her was a picture of her on the left, Sally on the right and Nick smack bang in the middle.
Then at that moment it hit her as she says "It's the love triangle and Sally will always be there."
Roy moans
"Yeah I might hit the sack to come on boy." Tess puts the old dog outside then heads up stairs to her room wondering what tomorrow will bring whether her and Nick will be best mates again or still fighting over that special spark that neither want to admit. Tess stretches her arms out as she lies down
"Meh I can worry about that tomorrow."
Nick tosses over to his back, side, side, back.
Sally sits up "Were not getting any sleep tonight are we? Harrison's asleep stop worrying it's his first proper sleep in three days, BUT NOW I HAVE YOU TOSSING AND TURNING! what's gotten into you today?"
Nick sighs "I'm sorry I can go sleep on the couch."
Sally shakes her head "I WILL!" As she climbs out of bed Harrison starts to cry she sighs in anger "THANKS NICK, THANKS A LOT!"
Nick looks at her "Me you where the one yelling the house down."
Sally storms out the room and brings Harrison back to the room "HERE IT'S YOUR TURN I'm GOING TO BED!"
Nick takes his baby boy into his arms and smiles down at him as he settles "Come on little man let's get you some milk." After half an hour Sally and Harrison where asleep.
