"Here you go." Philip said and handed Mimi a drink.
"Thanks." She patted the couch next to her. He sat down next to her. "You look tense, Chloe?"
He nodded. "So that must mean that Tess isn't here?" H nodded his head again. "Come here." HE came closer to her. And she started messaging his shoulders. "You need to not let her get to you."
"That's asking a lot, Meems."
"I know but yall aren't together any more and she need to forget about the past. I know Brady is trying to. For what Belle said he's proposing on proposing to her tonight."
Philip turned around and looked at her shocked. "He's going to do what?!"

"You look pretty upset, Belle. What's up?"
Belle sent Trey and Cassie over to play with his two cousins. "Shawn, he's just, somethings up with him, Nicole and we won't tell me what it is."
"Belle, this is Shawn you're talking about. He won't purposely hide anything from you."
"I know that's what I keep trying to tell myself but he's changed. He's not the same guy that fell in love with."
"Oh come on Belle. Please tell me that you didn't expect him to change. Eric did. He grew up and so did so and I did you. Shawn did too. It happens."
Belle sighed. "I know. I would just like to know what he's hiding."

Brady sunk up behind Chloe and as she turned around he could she was crying. What's wrong, honey?"
"This is just the beautiful, All of it."
He smiled. "It's all for you."
"Thank you but why all this?"
He goes down on his knee. "Because of this. Chloe Lane, will you marry me?"
He got up and she started crying more. "Oh Brady… I just…"
"You just what? Stop crying, Chloe and tell me."
She brushed away some of her tears. "I just can't do this, Brady. I just can't." She ran straight out the door. Brady yelled back. "Tell me uncle hi from me." He slammed the door and three the ring at the stereo. The sunk down into the floor crying.

"Hey. You working the night sift again?" Eric said to Shawn as he walked in to his office.
Shawn looked up. "Yeah. Well at least I'm getting a lot of planning done."
Eric sat down in the chair in front of his desk. "So how's it coming along?"
Shawn sighed. "Well I would say great but she wouldn't." He pointed to a picture of him, Belle, Trey and Cassie on his desk. "She doesn't trust me. I don't what she think I'm doing but it's not this."
Eric laughed. "That sounds like my sister. But Shawn she'll love it one she sees it. And from what Nic says she has no clue what is going on."
Shawn-d laughed. "Oh she think she knows that's going on. And you know with any luck she won't wait nay longer to let me have it."
