Shane walked into my office grinning. I smiled and turned to face him.
"Good morning. Why are you so happy?" I asked.
"Because, my darling, Marissa is moving out," he replied sitting on the edge of my desk.
"Ooh, so you'll be all alone tonight." I said.
"Hell no."
"No?"
"No way, I'll be at home for a romantic meal with a beautiful woman who will most defiantly be spending the night."
"Oh right, do you have anyone in mind?"
"Well, I was expecting Peta Wilson but she cancelled."
"Oh well, maybe you'll have to find a replacement."
"Well I think you'll do."
"Good. Anyway, I know you've gotten a perfect 31st birthday present but here." I passed him his gift. He looked like a child as he peeled away the paper. He smiled and opened the box that housed the gift.
"Kara, it's perfect." He picked up the watch. It had cost me a lot, but Shane was worth it.
"Look at the back." I said; he turned the Omega sports watch over and read the inscription out loud.
"Shane, yours eternally, forever. Kara." he smiled. "Thank you."
"You're welcome, so I'll do for tonight will I?"
"Baby, you will be perfect." he lent forward and kissed me.
"Tonight, I have planned a great evening. You'll hopefully have fun."
"Ooh, what are we doin'?" he asked playfully.
"You'll have to find out won't you?" I smiled at his childish frown.
"Buuuuuuuttttt Kara, I'm 31 not 3."
"Shaney, behave and I might let you have ice cream."
"Ooh, ice cream. What flavor?"
"How 'bout all of 'em?"
"Yay! Thanks Kara, love you."
"Love you too." I smiled as he left. "Remember, we've got a lunch date."
"I wouldn't forget that."
"I'll come and collect you at 2, OK?"
"Yes. Bye."
"Good morning. Why are you so happy?" I asked.
