Rini.
Danny hobbles down the street as fast as his legs can carry him, finally coming to the store he wants, he looks up at the sign that says "Macy's" and walks through the doors into it.
"Uh miss?" he asks one of the sales ladies,
"Yes?"
"Can you tell me where I can find the jewelry department?"
"Certainly, it's on this floor, you walk straight then take a right and you should see it!"
"Thanks"
"Your welcome" she walks away,
Danny starts to walk towards the jewelry counter,
"Yes sir can I help you?" the lady asks him looking up from the paper she was looking at,
"Uh yeah, I would like a ring please"
"Oh really?" she says looking under the counter,
"What kind?"
"Engagement,"
"OH really?" she says smiling largely,
"Yes"
"OK then how big are her fingers?"
"Small and Thin."
"Alright what kind of price range?"
"I have no clue I'll know when I see the right one."
"Ok we can see what we have we have some lovely rings over here," she says taking out a tray of rings with small stones in them,
"Do you have any silver ones?" she looks slightly surprised,
"Evelyn looks better in silver,"
"Oh alright" she takes out a tray of rings with a few silver ones, he decides that he wants one that has a simple yet elegant diamond in it, and it will look beautiful on her finger,
"Anything else sir?"
"Yes two wedding rings please."
"So fast?"
"Yes in our relationship it has to happen fast." Danny blushes as he says this.
"I see" she takes out yet another tray with wedding rings on it,
"I like this one" Danny says pulling out a simple gold band for himself and a smaller simply thin gold band for Evelyn,
"Are you sure she would say yes?"
"Positive" Danny pays for the rings; the engagement ring comes in a small black velvet box,
He thanks the lady and walks out; it's taken him a few hours to pick out the ring,
The first thing he does when he gets out on the street is hail a cab, he knows that he shouldn't be walking like he is but he's wired!
He gets home and Evelyn is lying on the couch reading a book, she apparently doesn't hear the door open, Rafe barely looks up from the kitchen where he is sitting in a chair drinking a cup of coffee, so he walks or hobbles over to her, "Ready?" he asks. She jumps slightly sitting up in the process, putting her hand on her heart like it needs to stop beating so hard.
"Yes I am, you scared me"
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that." He says falling into the seat next to her, she scoots over to him and snuggles into him, and her back to his chest an arm around her he then kisses her hair.
"Its alright, NOW" she says turning to him "Where are we going tonight?"
"It's a surprise." Danny says getting up "I need to get dressed, where is my bag?"
"Your clothes are in the bureau," Evelyn says getting up and walking with him to their room, "I need to get dressed also." She explains,
"Okay" Danny chooses a pair of kaki slacks and a blue button down shirt, and his bomber jacket, Evelyn was changing on the other side of the room having some difficulty zipping her dress. Danny had put on the kaki's and had a under shirt on,
"Here lemmie help you" he walks over to her and pulls the dress closed gently pulling the zipper up his hands brushing her back, she shivers slightly.
"You look beautiful," Danny says running a finger from the top of her dress down to the end of the zipper, she turns
"I love you,"
"I love you too."
"Ok get your clothes on I want to see what my surprise is!" Evelyn says sitting on the bed and trying to get her shoes on, Danny smiled laughed slightly and walked over to where he had set his shirt put it on then buttoned it up, he slipped the bomber jacket on for the last thing, he sat down on the end thing and tied his shoes, then got up.
Evelyn was ready and standing with her purse and wrap,
"Ok lets go" Danny said taking her arm, and leading her to the living room, Rafe glanced up from the mug of coffee, he raised both eyebrows at how nervous Danny was looking,
Almost doing the same thing he was the night when he went to drop off the hankie at Evelyn's, kind of like that, looking real nervous and when ever she had her back turned he would start mouthing things then smile unrealistically at her,
"OK we're going out, uh we should be back in a few hours, don't wait up."
"Waddu you mean wait up? Danny its five o'clock how on earth can I wait up for you at five o'clock?" Rafe said looking at Danny
"OK fine wait up" Danny said rolling his eyes and taking Evelyn's arm and leading her out to the hallway,
"So where are we going?"
"Club 41," Danny stated simply,
"Club 41? You have got to be kidding me, what's so special about it there?" Danny blushed,
"Sorry Ev, um that's kinda personal like there," they were stepping out of the elevator as he said that,
"OH yeah?"
"Yeah"
"Fine. Don't tell me,"
"I don't intend to." Danny had picked it because it had a fountain in the lobby of the hotel that is upstairs from the club,
"Do you want to take a taxi?"
"What do you think?" Evelyn says pointing at her protruding form; Danny had to laugh the laugh he laughs so well.
"OF course my' lady" Danny says hailing a taxi which pulled up next to them rather quickly,
They climbed in and Danny gave the man the address of the club and they were off, Evelyn stayed relatively quiet sitting next to Danny in the back seat looking out the window at the beautiful city.
They pull up to Club 41 and Danny helps Evelyn out of the cab,
"Stay here." Danny says leaning in the car to pay the cabby,
Evelyn stands there, tapping her foot, it was clear something was going on but it was oblivious to her what exactly it was.
Danny had paid the cabby and decided to take Evelyn's arm and help her into the club.
He opened the door for her,
"Thanks" she says
"Welcome." They have dinner but stay a little bit quiet; Danny keeps glancing around and fidgeting,
"Are you done?"
"Yes."
"OK then come with me." Danny says leaving a nice tip and the money to pay for the dinner, he helped her out of the booth, and took her hand and pulled her to the elevator,
"Lobby" he says to the monkey man.
"Right" he says hitting a button, Danny sort of rocks back and forth on his heal avoiding Evelyn's glance, she rolled her eyes at him.
The elevator stopped,
"Thanks" Danny said to the monkey man,
"NO problem." They got off the elevator,
"So Danny, are you going to tell me why we're here or do I have to guess?" Evelyn said when Danny took her hand and started walking to the center of the lobby,
"Just hold your horses, will ya?"
"Danny." She sighed,
"Just wait a second ok?"
"Fine" she stood where he made her stand,
"Evelyn?"
"Yes?" she said trying to smile but her feet were killing her,
Danny took her hand and got down on one knee, they were standing in front of the fountain with water running softly, she gasped slightly, as he took the box out of his pocket and held it up to her.
"Evelyn I know I should have done this sooner before I left or something, but I'd be honored if you would be my wife, will you marry me?" Danny looked slightly nervous,
Evelyn brought a hand to her mouth and smiled,
"Of course" He slid the ring on her finger from the box he was holding, and then she kissed him, now by that time the entire lobby had stopped and clapped!! They both laughed and kissed for a few minutes until she decided it was time to go.
"Lets go Danny."
"Alright" and hand in hand they hailed a cab and went home.
