Food.
Check.
Vincent had planned this special surprise too long for it to go wrong. He even managed to get Donna and Ariadne out of the house which was a rarity.
Making sure that everything was in its proper place, Vincent waited.
She should be home right now, he thought to himself. Why is she so late?
Suddenly the door opened and Laura walked in.
"Hey honey, I'm so sorry that I'm late but there was a tight shift and I…"
She turned around to see everything all decorated.
"Woah…" she said.
"Here, let me take your coat, Vincent said helping her take it off. Vincent then kissed her and said, "Happy one year anniversary."
"Thank you. Same here."
"You didn't remember," Vincent asked alarm.
"No. I did. It's just that I wasn't expecting this. Thank you," she said giving him back a hug.
"You're welcome. Ummm… you were saying something before."
"Well, actually yeah I got a few things for you. Here," she said handing him a box.
"Awww….you shouldn't have,"
"It's our anniversary. How couldn't I have not?"
"Can I open it?"
"Yeah, sure," she said as she followed him onto the couch.
He unwrapped it and gasped.
"It's the new watch I wanted!"
"I know how much you liked it and with a lot of the savings I have tucked away well here it is."
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!" he said giving her a hug. "Now we have dinner."
"Oohh…you cook?"
"Well, I tried. Don't worry just be honest the pizza delivery man is only a phone call away."
"I think that everything will be alright," she said as he took her hand and led her towards the table.
"What did you make?"
"Some pasta and some meatballs. I thought it was romantic."
"If you're a dog in a Disney film."
"Hey I resent that!"
"Sure you did, hot stuff."
Vincent just gave her a look, "Did you just call me what I think you called me?"
"Yeah. I think that it's okay for us to seriously flirt now."
"Really?"
"Yup." Laura said as she began to eat her dinner.
Soon after they were done.
"Vincent, I had no idea you were such a good cook."
"Yeah, well umm…there is something I've been meaning to ask."
"Really? Well what is it?" she said as she now moved from the eating area to the sofa.
"You might want to sit down."
She did and then asked, "Okay so now tell me. What is it that you mean to ask?"
"You know that I love you, right?"
"Well, you tell me that at least ten times a day."
"Okay, well I do. I really do love you and we've been through so much and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
Laura kept silent as Vincent then took a small little black box and opened it while kneeling before her. She gasped.
It was the ring she had seen in the store.
"Laura…will you marry me?"
In tears, Laura just quickly gave him a hug,
Laughing he said, "Is that a yes or now?"
"It's a yes," she said as they kissed and cried.
