When Cora woke up, her hair was all tangled up. Normally she braided her hair before going to bed, but last night when they returned from 'The Ritz' her mind was somewhere else.

Robert got down on one knee, and she wasn't expecting that. He had proposed and her heart almost burst out of her chest with love for him. He had arranged the perfect setting. The string quartet wasn't just rehearsing, they were hired by Robert. At 'The Ritz' they had a private table and to her surprise they weren't dining alone. Victoria, Dan, Tayler, Sebastian, Olivia and Max were sitting at the table.

Robert had them fly over to celebrate together. He said: "This isn't news you want to tell over the phone." They stayed at 'The Ritz' and would be in London for four days.

Back home Robert had done things to her, she never knew were possible. He had made her reach highs she never reached before.

She tried to move away from Robert. Their legs were tangled, and he was laying on her hair.

Carefully she pulled her hair underneath him, but she woke Robert. Softly she kissed his nose. "Sorry, darling, go back to sleep."

Robert wrapped his arm over Cora and kissed her neck. "We could go on, where we stopped last night."

"How much I would love that, but I really need to use the toilet."


Cora had made breakfast, she was walking around in one of Robert's shirts. She loved wearing his big shirts.

They had a full day ahead, first they would go to the house showing and then Robert promised to take the girls into the city. He made a plan for them to see everything. He took the days of and was planning on joining Cora and her family.

Robert put his hands on Cora's hips. "You are so incredibly sexy in this shirt. Can we go back to bed."

Cora felt his hot breath on her neck and was tempted to say yes. She knew they didn't have time, they wasted a lot of time playing around when they woke up this morning.

"You can have me tonight." She answered

"You promise?" Robert said with a childish voice.

Cora turned around and wrapped both arms around his neck. "I promise." She kissed him quickly on the lips. "We have to get ready, we will be late."


The house was perfect. A big and spacious living room with stunning views and a fireplace, a big kitchen with a kitchen island. The master bedroom was enormous. All three bedrooms had en-suite bathrooms. The fourth room they would transfer into Cora's atelier. It had windows on two sides of the room, so lots of natural lighting.

Robert made an offer and they were lucky. Their bid was the highest and they could move in next month.

Robert had made a wonderful plan for the four days the girls were in London. They visited everything. They were also very lucky with the weather. Cora soaked up the attention of her girls, it was wonderful to have them with her again. She could never have dreamed of this. Being engaged to Robert and walking through the streets of London with her girls.


"Girls, you know where to take your mother, I will see you all tonight." Robert said.

"Wait, what are we going to do, why aren't you coming?" Cora asked with a surprised look on her face.

"Just go and see." Robert kissed Cora and walked away, with Dan, Sebastian and Max. Her girls guided the way. They were going to 'Phillipa Lepley' for a wedding dress. Inside Rosamund was waiting on them.

"Girls!" Cora exclaimed. "What a wonderful surprise. But we haven't even set a date yet."

"Mum, Robert arranged everything, just go with the flow." Tayler said

"He wanted you to have this experience with your girls." Rosamund said. "He asked me where you could go best, and I suggested Phillipa, she is the best in this city."

The experience was amazing. Cora tried on so many dresses. She found the perfect one. A cobalt blue satin dress. Expertly draped and moulded over the corseted bodice, leading up to a sweetheart neckline at the top of the bodice. The deep plunging neck, accentuating her collar bones and elongating her neck. A satin 'apron' overskirt, with deeply pleated ruffles at the back, flowing over the petticoats, with a 75-inch train trailing behind Cora as she walks.

"Thank you all so much for doing this with me. It means a lot, I can't thank you enough for accepting Robert."

"Mama, Robert makes you happy. You always told us not to settle for less than real happiness. So, follow your own advice."


When the day arrived, they needed to go back, Cora felt incredibly sad. "I will miss you all so much." She said while hugging all three of her girls.

"We will be back soon, on your wedding day." Tayler said.

"I think it will be so much fun to be on your wedding day. We missed the one between you and daddy." Olivia said.

"Of course, we did, we weren't born yet." Victoria bitched.

"Please, don't do this. Girls, can we be nice to each other?" She saw Dan grabbing Victoria's hand, and she breathed in deeply. Dan was a good influence on her, Cora thought.

Tears were stinging at the back of her eyes, but she was staying strong. Robert held her hand firm in his. When the girls were out of their sight, he turned Cora towards him. "They will be back soon, but for now, I want to go home with you and just be together. These days were quite tiring."

"Are you alright?" Cora asked with a worried voice.

"Perfectly, just tired." Robert kissed Cora. "I am not used to so much excitement in my life. I had a dull life before you." He said with a grin on his face.

Cora tickled Robert. "Why don't I believe you. The difference now is, you had four woman surrounding you, instead of only guys."

"Now you said it yourself! You girls can talk, wow. It never stops." He saw Cora's face. "I don't mean it in a bad way, it is just a fact. I loved listening and seeing you with your girls, but I am also happy to have a little bit more peace and quiet back."

"I will run you a warm bath when we are home." Cora leaned against him.

"And you think that will give me some rest?" Robert looked at her with fire in his eyes.

"As long as I stay out of the bathroom, it will." Cora smiled her biggest smile at Robert.
