Dawn rose bright and clear the next morning. Jess woke up to find Duncan clattering around nosily in the crofts small kitchen.
"Duncan? What are you doing here so early?" Asked Jess, stifling a yawn.
" Oh, it was supposed to be a surprise for ya birthday. I made you breakfast in bed," said Duncan, his face crestfallen.
"Really, Duncan, you needn't have bothered. Thank you." She said.
" I just wanted to show you how much I love you." said Duncan.
"So show me," replied Jess, and they shared a passionate kiss there and then, Jess still in her pajama's. Duncan didn't mind, though, because to him, Jess always looked good.
" Oh, you'd better eat your breakfast, it'll be going cold. Happy Birthday." said Duncan. Jess smiled, and tucked into the eggs on toast.
Duncan sat and watched her for a while. He couldn't believe that he, Duncan Mackay, was going to ask this beautiful woman to marry him tonight.
" Molly seemed pretty excited about Archie and Lexie coming back, didn't she?" said Jess.
"Hmmm? Oh yeh." said Duncan, still watching Jess.
"Duncan? Why are you looking at me in that strange way? Is my top see through or something?" said Jess, smiling.
" Oh, no, you look beautiful. I was just wondering what you wanted to do today?" asked Duncan, awoken from his day dream," I thought maybe we could go for a picnic down by the loch. That is if you want to." said Duncan.
" No, That sounds great. I'll go and fetch the hamper." said Jess.
"No, no!" said Duncan, aware that he had been storing the pretty little engagement ring in the hamper, " Its your birthday, let me get it!"
"Duncan, what's wrong with you today? You're acting really strange. " said Jess, a suspicious look on her face.
"All shall be revealed" he said, " all shall be revealed."
