Mia cleared her throat and began to tell her grandmother all about her and Nicholas's romantic night together.
"well it was the day of the summer ball and he cam up to my suite to wake me up with breakfast in bed which was great"
"i wish Joe stll brought me that"
"i'll have a word with him about that"
"please do, anyway you were saying"
"oh yeah, well he brought my breakfast and told me he had a suprise for me but i wasnt allowed to know what it was untill after the ball"
"knowing you, you pestered him right?"
"of course but he wouldnt budge so i forgot about it and got on with the day and the ball. I was so hyper after the ball had finished i was too awake to go to sleep. I got back into my suite and he'd decorated it all with candles and rose petels scattered everywhere, so romantic"
"that is adorable"
"i found

"did you know what he had planned after that point?"

"laughing? gosh how did he take that?"
