Molly was sat in a little café in the centre of Dublin nursing a hot chocolate. She was waiting for Charles who had stopped at a little antique shop. Molly starred out of the window. It was wet and miserable. She took a deep glug of her drink when Charles walked in. He ordered a drink for himself and a fresh hot chocolate for molly.

"did you get what you wanted" molly asked as the waitress placed the drinks on the table.

"I did indeed" he smiled and sipped his coffee

"well what is it" molly asked curiously wondering what had taken him so long to get as she couldn't see any bags

"never mind, its a surprise" Charles smiled

Molly relented and gave up. She knew that Charles would never break and tell her what he had brought she sat and finished her drink wondering what Charles had brought. They spent the rest of the day looking around the town centre before heading back to their hotel .

They checked out of the hotel and Charles and booked a room in a little B&B in the country. As they were staying on the other side of the country it took over a hour to get there especially as Charles didn't take any of the main roads and went along narrow winding country lanes.

Charles stopped at a small café in a little village that was in a beautiful valley with a little waterfall trickling down the hill side. The clouds had rolled in and a misty rain had started to fall. Charles lead molly over to the small stream that the waterfall trickled in to

"Charles its bloody freezing why the hell have we stopped here" molly said slightly angry and heading back towards the car.

"molly wait please" Charles called after her and managed to catch hold of her hand as she walked past.

"Charles I am freezing " molly called still heading back towards the car

"will you marry me " he called after her.

"what" molly cried turning around slowly to face Charles

" I said will you marry me?" Charles replied and walked over to molly and handed her a small black box, inside which was a Irish Claddagh ring with a heart shaped diamond in the centre.

"Charles its beautiful... yes" she said kissing "but can we go and get a hot chocolate as I am bloody freezing
