"Rose could you get us some more wine"
"Yes Mrs Dawson" nodded Rose before she walked to the kitchen. Jack looked up from his plate and watched her leave.
"Jack when do you think you will ask Amy Fisher to marry you?" Asked Mr Dawson. Jack took a sip of his wine and looked at his father.
"Well to be honest I really haven't thought about it yet"
"Well I expect it should be done soon. Mr Fisher and I want you two to be engaged as soon as possible"
"Yes father" Just then Rose walked back in with a bottle of wine. Jack's eyes were on her. Rose walked over to Jack and a small smile appeared on her face.
"Would you like any more wine Mr Dawson?"
"Yes please. Thank you"
...
It was just after 10. Jack stood in his bedroom looking out the window. He then sore Rose walking out into the garden. Jack wanted to speak with her but he didn't want to feel like a stalker if her knew that she was out there. Oh what the hell Jack thought. He put his long coat over him and went out.
"Hi again" He said. She turned and smiled. "Sorry to disturb you Rose"
"Hi Mr Dawson. I mean Jack. It's fine your not disturbing me at all"
"Okay good" He nervously laughed. "So how are you?"
"Good thank you and yourself?"
"I'm good too. Anyway I came out to see if you wanted some company"
"That would be nice but is it wrong?"
"Wrong? What do you mean by that?"
"The other day your mother told me that you have a girlfriend"
"Well that girl does not mean anything to me. My family and her family have made a business promise that we marry"
"Oh okay. Sorry to ask such a stupid question"
"No no. That was not stupid at all. Besides your the first person who asked me about how I feel about Amy Fisher" smiled Jack. "Do you want to sit down and talk?"
"Are we allowed?" A smile started to appear on her face.
"Of course" smiled Jack
