Ch. 13 Dom filled the seat of Leon's car. He and three others idled at
the start line. He was so excited. Last time he raced was a year and a
half ago. He looked at the sidelines. Letty was walking over to Hector.
He saw Hector shrug and hand her the flag. In her short shorts and tank
top, Letty waltzed into the middle of the road. She nodded towards Dom and
he gave a little tap to his horn. She smiled and raised the flag.
Engines roared around her.

She dropped the flag and the cars flew past her. Her hair whipped into her face as she turned around to see Dom's victory. She jumped up and down, cheering.
Dom quickly pulled into first and won the race. The team stuck around to watch everyone else race before heading home.

Brian knocked on the door. He heard footsteps inside coming towards the door. The doorknob rattled and the door swung open. Mia's thin, but not too thin, fame filled the doorway. She wore a thin strapped red dress that stopped above her knee.
Brian was speechless. He wore a semi-formal suit with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. Mia cleared her throat.
"For me?"
"Oh, yea." He handed them to her. "Wow."
Mia began to panic, "Um, good or bad?"
Brain realized he was making her uncomfortable, "No, no! That's good. Really good."
"Well, you got me in a dress. Where are we going?"
"It's a surprise."
He held out his arm and she tucked her's into it. He led her down the steps and to the car.
"Dom's?"
Brian blushed a little, "Yea, Letty kinda totaled mine."
He opened the door and she slid into the seat. Fifteen minutes later, Brian pulled up to the curb of a quite fancy resturaunt. Mia's door swung open and a hand was offered to her. She stepped out and saw Brian come around to meet her.
"Vallet parking. I'm impressed."
He handed the man his keys and led Mia into the resturaunt. They got to their table and ordered.
"Well, it seems like ou planned this out nicely."
"Just for you."
He took her hand, "You really look beautiful."
Mia blushed, "Thank you."
Dinner came and they are, carrying on a conversation the whole time.
"Before we order dessert, I'm gonna go to the restroom. I'll be back."
"Oh, ok."
Brian rested his elbows on the table and sighed deeply. He heard someone behind him and turned around. An elderly man sat at a table, apparently waiting for his wife.
"Pretty girl you're with tonight."
"Oh, thanks."
"Nervous?"
"Yea, if you can tell, I wonder what she's thinking."
"Don't be nervous." He spotted his wife, "and good luck."
Brian turned back around and found Mia pulling out her chair, "Who was that?"
"Uh, I dunno. Nice guy though."
The waiter came by and they ordered their dessert. Soon, the desserts were there and the waiter winked at Brian. Jeez. Does the whole world know?!?
"Um, Mia?"
She glanced up from her ice cream.
"There was something I wanted to ask you."
He placed his napkin on the table and drew back his chair. He stepped over the close to Mia, took her have, and went down on one knee. Mia gasped.
"We've known each other for a while now. I know I've screwed up once or twice but I want to make it right.for both of us. So, ir you would, will you, Mia Torretto, be my wife?"
Mia gasped again and tears welled up in her eyes. She opened her mouth but nothing come out. She leaned down and hugged Brian and whispered in his ear, "Yes. I love you."
Engines roared around her.
