A new song starts up and Frank turns to Nancy, and asks her to dance with him. He leads her towards the dance floor and he puts his hands on her waist and she puts her hands around his neck. She knows Frank won't hurt her but she can't fight the nagging feeling in the back of her mind, that he may just do something to hurt her.
The intro is over and the lyrics come over the speakers:
Oh, I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out this friendship has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
'Cause I feel so secure when we're together
'How true this is' Nancy thought whereas Frank's thoughts were not on the song at all but the ring that is in his pocket.
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear
And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
'I need to tell her now, but I need to give her time... What should I do?' Frank questioned himself.
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
'I will do it, as much as she needs to heal, she needs to know' reasons Frank.
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running around in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
'Cause you take me to the places
That alone I'd never find
And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
Frank starts to pull away from Nancy and he can tell what her thoughts were, so he leans in really slowly and kisses her on the cheek. Nancy looks at him with what could only be love in her eyes, and leans into Frank and presses a soft kiss to his lips.
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Frank and Nancy finally pull away from their kisses and Frank resumes going down on one knee, and as he reaches the floor he pulls out the velvet box from his pocket. He looks up at Nancy and sees how shocked she is, and he starts to second guess himself. Instead he pulls open the box looks Nancy in the eyes and starts his speech that he had practiced so many times:
"Nancy Drew you are the love of my life, I love you so so much. I know our relationship has gone fast, but when have we ever been the ones to do things the proper way. "
This receives a smile from Nancy.
"I know it is too soon to from your last case but that night... I was going to propose that night, and I feel like now would be the perfect time to ask you. I love your eyes how they always sparkle as we get into mischief together, and how your hair turns red in the sunlight. How you can stand Joe, because I have lived with him for how long and I still can't. You are my everything, and when we met all those years ago I knew you were the one for me even though I had Callie, and you had Ned. Please, we don't have to get married right away but will you be my wife one day?"
Nancy has tears streaming down her face, and by now everyone knows that a proposal was going on the music was turned off and Joe, Bess, and George were standing out of their seats and Bess had her phone out.
"Yes Frank Yes Yes Yes, I would love to marry you!" Nancy exclaims.
'I can trust Frank, I know I can why else would my first reaction been yes... Frank won't hurt me. Will he?'
Frank stands up, and spins Nancy around in a circle before he pulls her into a kiss and finally put the promise ring on her finger.
He will have to get an engagement ring for her soon. He liked how her hand looked with the ring on her finger, and her smile that lit up the entire room. He gives her one last hug and kiss, and then they walk towards the rest of the gang whose mouths are wide open.
Frank and Nancy smile at each other still holding on tightly to each other. Bess is the one who breaks the silence by grabbing Nancy and exclaiming just how lucky Nancy is. The rest offer congratulations to Frank and Nancy, and then they decide to leave the club and head home.
Once everyone is in taken home and heading to bed, Frank and Nancy decide to wait to tell their families that they are engaged. They both head up the stairs and Nancy looks at Frank as they were about to part ways. She smiles at him and nods her head to her room.
