Carla pushed the remains of her lunch around the plate. The pasta floated in the thick tomato sauce. She stared as the movements left patterns of White where the sauce parted to reveal the bowl beneath. She rested her head on her left arm the other fixed on stirring.
'carla' called Tony for the second time. He watched her daydream for a moment before nudging her left arm causing her to hold back to the current reality of the restaurant.
'huh?' she gasped
'ah your still with us!' he joked his voiced husked with his heavy Scottish accent.
'mmm sorry' she sighed yawning
'it's fine' he smiled. He paused momentarily endearingly looking at his beautiful fiancee.
'what' she laughed embarrassed
'look I was going to wait but this is for you' he began. Tony leaned under the table and retrieved a bag harbouring a a4 sized box hand wrapped in a black ribbon. He handed it to her removing her plate so she could ace it down. 'I know it's been a long week and I thought you deserved this' he smiled gesturing for her to open it.

Pulling back the ribbon Carla lifted the lid of the glossy black box. Inside laid a large brochure expensively made and designed. On top another envelope. She cautiously picked it us and slid out the contents. She gasped at the sight of the plane tickets.
'Paris?' she questioned 'when?'
'tomorrow!' smiled Tony
'why?' Carla put down the envelope engaging her attention towards the brochure. She removed it folding back the fist pages to reveal pictures of beautiful, elegant gowns and dressed.
'I thought that you might like to spend the weekend finding a wedding dress!' speechless Carla continued to pry through the book as Tony explained. 'IV booked for you a Michelle to meet with this designer in Paris you'll spend the weekend with her then she will create your own perfect dress!' gobs asked Carla closed the brochure and looked up at his beaming face. 'what do you think?' he preyed. Carla didn't know exactly how to react her first instincts where exhilaration and joy. Then she thought deeper into the plan and realise her trip away with Liam, the entail reason why she could no longer go would hurt him deeply, then again she was getting married to Tony and however much they dismissed the idea it was true.
'it's amazing' she finally summoned 'but..' she trailed off
'what?' he asked the grin wiping from his face into a immediate frown
'no it's just a bit late notice I mean I can't expect Michelle just to get up and leave and what about the factory there some big meetings this weekend' she rambled
'nonsense Liam can manage for a couple of days and as for Michelle she's known for weeks so all sorted' he smiled again
'she knows?' Carla questioned supplied how secretive they had been. Tony nodded
'so does Liam, he didn't seem to have a problem so I'm sure hell manage without you. Anyway hell need to get used to the idea of not having you around sooner or later' Carla nodded shouted by the news. Not taking in exactly what Tony was implying or meant.
