Mr. Gold came back into the restaurant and looked for his table to find Belle. Belle was staring into space as she took her spoon and absentmindedly played with it and stirred it in the glass cup with the leftover syrup from the ice cream sundae. She was humming and she broke out of her trance when she heard Mr. Gold's cane.
"Welcome back," she smiled.
"Sorry," he grinned.
Belle wiggled in her seat and settled in as Mr. Gold came to sit down. He wrapped his arm around her and kissed her cheek. "Are you finished?" he asked.
"Yes."
Mr. Gold paid the bill and then they walked outside. The weight of the ring was dragging him down. "Belle, close your eyes," he whispered.
She gave him a look as she stopped and closed her eyes. He pulled the ring out and got down on his knee. Belle slowly opened her eyes and she gasped.
"We both want this," Mr. Gold whispered, "Please say yes and make me the happiest monster in this world."
Belle was crying out of pure joy. "For the 100th time, you are not a monster Rumple, you are a man."
"You make me the man I am! Will you?"
"Of course I will!"
Mr. Gold slid the ring onto her hand and it began to sparkle. He got up and he took Belle in his arms and kissed her. She laughed and she playfully licked his cheek. "Why did you just lick my face? You aren't a cat," he teased.
"Happy Valentine's Day!"
Belle and Mr. Gold turned around to find Ruby and she was crying out of happiness. "It's about damn time this happened. Thank goodness."
