"Bos?" Kim called across the street after shift.
He looked up and smiled. "Hey."
She crossed the street and hugged him. "Hi. How ya doing?"
"Good. You look exhausted."
"After that, it's hard not to be. You wanna go for a drink? Bobby wanted me to ask."
"I actually wanted to be alone with you. There's something I wanted to talk to you about."
"Alone is good. Go for dinner?"
"Sounds good."
"Alright. We just have to meet them at sunrise out at Coney Island."
"Why?"
"Part of the plan."
"Okay. We'll do it but let's get out of here before-"
"Hey!"
"Bobby comes out." Bosco finished.
"Bobby. Hey. We're gonna go for something to eat." Kim said. "We're tired but we'll meet you guys out at Coney Island. Promise."
"Uh-uh."
"What?" Bosco stared.
"You two need drinks."
"No really."
"Come on." Bobby said. "Davis, ride with them. We're going to Haggerty's."
"Okay." The cop said agreeably.
"Bobby-"
"No hablas mas." Bobby grinned.
Kim shot him a look and then pulled the front seat forward so Davis could climb in. "We'll see you there." She said to Bobby.
"Cool."

"How did this happen? I thought we were gonna have a drink and then sneak out. How did we end up giving rides to Jimmy and Carlos?" Bosco asked Kim as they waited for Jimmy and Carlos to come back from the bowling alley's bathroom.
"We're too nice." Kim said.
"Yeah that's it."
"Hey, what did you wanna talk about?"
"What?"
Kim looked over at him. "You said before you wanted to talk to me about something. We're alone. What's up?"
"Oh." Bosco didn't know what to say. This was not how he planned to ask Kim if she ever thought about marrying him. "It can wait till we get home."
"Bos, just tell me. What's the big deal?"
"I just wanted to be alone with you for a little while longer."
"Is it going to be a long conversation?"
"It might be."
"Okay Bosco, what's going on?"
He sighed. Kim wasn't letting this go. "Do you remember what you said to me on the phone when I was watching Joey that day?"
"Uh I'll be home soon?"
"No. You said, 'Will you marry me?'"
"Oh. I did, didn't I?" Kim bit her lip. "Did I make you uncomfortable with that? Cause it was just a joke."
"Not to me."
"Bos?"
"I was thinking about it. I have been thinking about it and I think we should seriously think about it. I'm not asking you to marry me tomorrow or even next week but I do want to marry you Kim."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah."
"Good."
"Good?"
"Yeah." She smiled at him. "Cause I've been thinking about it myself and I think marrying you would be a good thing."
"Really?"
"Really."
"So, we're thinking seriously about this?"
"We are."
He looked up and smiled. "Hey."
She crossed the street and hugged him. "Hi. How ya doing?"
"Good. You look exhausted."
