Peyton finally emerged from the bathroom an hour later. She was relaxed and had almost forgotten about what had happened earlier that day. Well she had pushed it to the back of her mind. She remembered all the good times she had with Lucas and all the memories they are going to have in the future.

Peyton is hungry so she walks into the kitchen where she finds the table set with candles and their nice plates. The candles are lit and she notices a rose on her plate. She picks it up and smells it. She then notices a note attached to the stem of the rose. The note says

Peyt, I went out for a second, I will be back shortly, relax, watch some tv, there is wine chilling in the fridge

Love,

L

Peyton does just that she opens a bottle of wine and decides to start a new comic strip. As she is pouring all her emotion into the comic strip. She figures that this will be perfect for next week's paper. Her strip has to do with long term relationships. In the first one this guy and girl are dating for a long time, when all of a sudden his ex-girlfriend comes into the picture. Then after a triangle the two girls decide that this guy has to make up his mind. Its one of them, he cant have both. The guy thinks about it for awhile and finally makes up his mind, he doesn't want either of them, he wants his independence. Peyton does not hear Lucas walk in until he is right behind her. "Babe you know that will never happen, I want you, now and forever" Peyton has a big smile on her face and turns around.

"Finally you are back, I am starving!' Peyton explaimed while her stomach grumbled to make the fact known.

Lucas walks over to the kitchen and Peyton follows, "Peyt dinner will be ready in one second, I just need to put this box in the fridge"

Peyton and Lucas enjoy a nice dinner. They discuss the upcoming week. Since Peyton finished one of her strips she is not going to be working as hard, but she still has an article to write. One thing that Lucas doesn't know, because Peyton wanted to surprise him, is that not only is she drawing the comics, she is also writing a column. Lucas had a few patients to deal with, but luckily Brooke was not one of them.

Dinner was over so Peyton started clearing the table. "Wait not yet" Lucas said. Peyton is confused what else is there?

Lucas starts going to the fridge and opens the mysterious box. Inside the box where some chocolate covered strawberries, three were in dark chocolate while the other three were in white chocolate. Peyton is shocked, chocolate covered strawberries are her favorite dessert, but it is rare that she ever eats them, she believes the only one who can make them perfect are Karen.
"You went all the way to your mom's café for this dessert?"

"Only the best for you Peyton"

Peyton is shocked at this. She never thought anyone would go that far for her.

Lucas sits down at the table and hands Peyton a strawberry. "So I was thinking". Begins Lucas… "For dessert at our wedding I figured besides cake we should serve these, I mean these are your favorites and everything."
