Over the next several weeks, Jack and Sue spent their time working on the new case. They had worked closely with their new temporary team and made some new friends. In the evenings Sue and Jack went out for dinner, and later they would take Levi out for his walks. The more time they spent together, the more closer they had become. Jack couldn't imagine his life without Sue and Sue felt the same way about Jack. Saying goodnight to each other was becoming difficult. Jack wanted to make his relationship with Sue more permanent. He was ready to take the next step, he just hoped she was ready too.
The next day Sue went out to lunch with one of the girls she met on their team. Jack took this opportunity to go for a walk. He noticed a little jewellery shop close by on his way into work one morning. He walked in and went immediately to ring section. Jack browsed for few minutes and suddenly one caught his eye. He thought it was perfect for Sue. It was classy and elegant, just like her. The shopkeeper came over, "do you need some help sir?"
"Yes, I'd like to get this ring." Jack said, pointing it out to the shopkeeper.
He pulled it out for Jack to get a closer look. "Excellent choice Sir."
Jack held it on his finger, admiring it's beauty. "Can I have it engraved?"
"Sure, what would like it to say?" He asked and pulled out his notepad.
"My Love Is Forever Yours" Jack said, tears glistened in eyes as he thought about Sue.
The shopkeeper wrote it down. "I will have it ready for Friday afternoon, you can pick it up then."
Jack nodded. "That's great. It will give me time to get my plans ready."
Jack went back into work. He had a silly grin on his face the rest of the afternoon. Sue walked up to his desk. "Hey, you're in a good mood. What's up?"
"Nothing, I was just thinking that it's our last week here. So how about we have a special date Friday night?"
"Okay, what are you planning?" She asked.
"It's a surprise." Jack winked at her before getting up and walking away.
Sue's mouth had slid open to say something but Jack was too quick. She wondered what he was up to.
