The next day as she said she would Christine met Erik at the carriage. She climbed up and sat down next to him. He smiled, looking at her.

"To the market please Monsieur!" He said to the driver, and they were off. Christine snuggled next to him under the blanket. When they arrived at the market he got off the carriage, but just as he was helping her off he looked at her and smiled.

"Christine, will you marry me?" It was so unexpected but she was thrilled.

"YES!" She screamed darting into his arms. He put a beautiful ring on her finger. She jumped into his arms kissing him.

"Now we have two things to celebrate tonight!" She kissed him, pulling away nodding with a huge grin on her face. That night they made their cake. Christine was excited, she got to have her cake and eat it too!
