Chimney tries to propose to Maddie at Christmas but everything goes wrong
"I'm just trying to propose to your sister," Chimney said, standing outside with his cell phone pressed to his ear. He spoke quietly, hoping that Maddie wouldn't come outside right now.
"So propose," Buck replied. "What's stopping you?"
"Basically everything," Chimney said. "Mango is sick, the flowers didn't get here, the florist told me basically to fuck off because I tried to figure out when they'd deliver them, and got told I waited too long. And I don't know, maybe Christmas is just not the right time."
"Then maybe it's not," Buck said. "You can ask her anytime, you guys weren't planning on having a big wedding anyway."
"I don't know what Maddie wants," Chimney said. "Like we've talked about it but never in detail. Maybe Christmas will bring up bad memories too."
"Okay, first up, Maddie loves you," Buck said. "And she's not going to say no. And knowing Maddie, I don't think it matters what time of year you propose."
"I know," Chimney said. "Okay, I have to go back in. I was just panicking a little."
"You got this," Buck said. "And seriously. Maddie's not going to say no."
Chimney hung up, and turned around. Maddie was standing there, smiling at him.
"He's right," she said. "I'm not going to say no."
"Surprise is ruined, huh?" Chimney said softly, and Maddie's smile widened.
"It's been ruined, I found the ring a week ago," she said, stepping forward, and wrapping her arms around his neck. "I was going to be surprised, though. Why don't you ask me now? Mango's down for a nap, and we've got wine and chocolate inside."
"And a fake fire," he said, kissing her. "You ready to be Mrs. Han?"
"I've never been more ready for anything," Maddie whispered.
