Molly and Jim went for dinner at a really beautiful restaurant; God only knows how much this cost him, Molly thought as she ate, aware that her boyfriend had money but wasn't exactly a millionaire. He was wearing her favorite suit- cream, with a white shirt and a red tie. She ordered some kind of soup- whatever it was, it was delicious -and had a raspberry cheesecake for desert. She loved it, and expected to leave shortly after she finished the delicious fruit pudding, but Jim had a surprise planned for her.
The band playing at the front of the restaurant stopped mid-song, the pianist's fingers frozen in the air. Jim smiled at Molly, took her hand, and led her to the front of the restaurant, a meter from the stage. The whole restaurant was silent.
"Molly Hooper," Jim began "you're my beautiful partner; in crime, in love, and I couldn't bear to see you with anyone else." he continued, taking a plush box out of his breast pocket and lowering to one knee. He opened the box, revealing a silver ring adorned with a glistening emerald. "So will you do me the honor of becoming my partner in life?"
Molly didn't even have to think about it; she just smiled and nodded. Jim grinned back at her, and they kissed, to the applause of the restaurant, and the band started playing her favorite song. And it truly was the happiest moment of her life.
