The couple was walking through the city's Rose Garden enjoying the Sunday evening. They had just come out of a delicious dinner with Michelle, Amara, Trista, and Hutaru. The evening was sweet, with a soft breeze and the white waning moon turning yellowish. A few stars could be seen in the velvet sky, and there were trees here and there hanging over them curiously with their black green leaves. Darien kissed Serena gently; they both knew that it would be quite a long time until the next day like this, free from work. Serena abruptly broke the kiss, and looked at Darien with slightly amused look, trying to hide her nervousness.
"Me too, Darien," she said out of the blue.
"You too?" Darien echoed puzzled.
Serena cocked her head to the right, and smiled. An angelic, innocent, mature, sweet, serious, beautiful smile! Darien had never seen her more beautiful, he had never felt more loved before than when he looked at her, looking at him like that. She stood on her tip toes and put her arms around Darien's neck, then brought him to her so that her lips touched his right ear.
"I want to make both our wishes come true too! I was wrong this morning, not matter how insane I made your proposal sound, I would never be able to leave you," she whispered, passionately.
"I know," Darien whispered back, "Which was why I was willing to wait until you were ready." Then he freed himself from Serena's arms and went took the ring box out of his pocket, going down on his knees. "Serena, please marry me," he said earnestly.
"Rise, Darien, it isn't fair for you to be kneeling! Of course I'll marry you," Serena uttered with tears of emotion running down her cheeks, "Any time, anywhere!"
Darien rose, and gently slipped the white gold ring, with a single pink pearl on it, around her finger. He hugged her tightly, smelling, stroking her summer gold hair. "It was my mother's," he whispered.
"It's beautiful! I'm honored to have it," Serena hick-upped. She kissed his neck.
So now Serena was the Earl of Shields' fiancée, and the marriage was due in the winter; January to be precise. The couple kept a low profile, as Serena still wished to continue working, and because of that they planned a very tiny wedding, with only Darien's sister and her husband; Serena's parents and brother; their four gypsy friends; Darien's cousin Lita and Ken; Darien's friend Chad and his wife Raye; and Serena's boss and friend Mina with her husband Andrew. A party of only around twenty people. The ceremony would be held in the chapel at Darien's castle, followed by a private dinner inside the castle. But of course, to avoid any suspicions, Mina would take on the role of Serenity for that day. She was ordered to only photograph the kiss and the rice parade, the maximum amount of pictures to be taken were five.
But way before the wedding, only after a week or two after the engagement, Serena met up with Darien for a quick lunch in between weddings. She had something to show him; a magazine. With an amused smile she handed it to Darien. In one of the pages there was a picture of the kiss that Serena gave Darien on that faithful Sunday, as they were coming out of the ice cream parlor. The subtext was the following: "Seems like very young woman in town wants a piece of Lord Chiba, the eleventh Earl of Shields! This one has managed a kiss, now she probably wishes the young Lord to make her his Countess- dream on country girl!"
Darien was infuriated at the commentary; he wanted to call the paparazzi and file a law suit against him. Serena, who knew the business only laughed! She thought it was funny. And she soothed Darien by telling him that it didn't matter what the world thought, because they both knew who fell at whose feet first! They loved each other, and that was the only important thing.
"And it will be funny, Sweetie! On my article about our wedding I will put our picture next to this one and I'll write: 'Her wish did come true, Fairy Godmother (or is it Father?)! Luis Pierce is right to encourage everyone to dream. after all, wishes and dreams can come true!'"

I thank you for all your reviews: they kept me going! The radio's playing Frank Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night" as a closing anthem. Ami D'Aqua (Aug/Sept 2003)
