Francisca and Jonathan had been together for two years. After completing culinary school after a year, Francisca moved to Florida and moved in with Jonathan. She was a head chef at a five star restaurant. It was the weekend. Francisca and Jonathan went to Tucson to visit Francisca's parents. They all had just arrived at a restaurant where Jonathan was taking them out to dinner.
"Hi mom." Francisca said.
"Hi." They hugged.
"Hi dad."
"Hi." Eduardo said. They hugged. "Hi Jonathan."
"Hi." Jonathan said. They shook hands. "It's good to see you."
"It's good to see you to."
After eating Francisca and Josfina were in the bathroom leaving Jonathan and Eduardo alone at the table.
"Before they come back I would like to ask you a question." Jonathan said. "I would like your permission to marry Francisca."
"I'd be happy to have you as part of the family."
"Thank you." "I have a favor to ask to help with the proposal."
The next night Francisca and Jonathan were still in Tucson and planning on leaving tomorrow. They were going for a drive but Jonathan wouldn't tell Francisca where to. Her eyes were closed. The car stopped.
"We're here." Jonathan said. "Keep your eyes closed." He got out of the car and helped her out. They walked about ten feet. She heard a door unlock. He guided her inside and turned on the lights. "Ok you can look now."
She opened her eyes and looked around confused. "Why are we at my parents restaurant honey?"
"This is where we first met, and the perfect place to do this." He got down on one knee and took out a tiny black box. "It killed me to wait this long." "I didn't want to scare you off by doing it to soon." He opened the box. "Francisca, I want to spend the rest of my life with you." "I want you to have my children." "Will you marry me?"
"Yes." She said with tears in her eyes and smiling. He put the ring on her finger and stood up. "I love you."
They kissed. "I love you too."
