Bec's POV

I stopped at my favourite part of the farm. As I built a fire cause where I was it was like a little stone shelter I started to think I should be getting back. Patch was under the cover as well. See only I know about this place. Well at least I think. There is this place then the pond. I stumbled upon both places one day while riding Patch. They are the places I go when I'm upset or angry. Or I just want peace. It's my safe haven. Eventually the fire died and I fell asleep.

When I woke I looked around to find I was outside and Patch was with me. It was beautiful clear sky but it was so hot so I decided I'd head to the pond. When I reached it still had my bench that I placed there and the tyre swing. This place was hidden by trees so I figured I'd share both of my places with Leo. I decided I should head back.

When I got back I took Patch back into the stable and said hello to Romeo and Juliet. As I walked up to the house I heard banging in there. Tom and Jess were up and making brekkie.

"Hi" I said softly

"Oh my god Bec, thank god you're alright. You are alright aren't you? Well I mean of course you are otherwise you wouldn't be here. Where did you go? Wait. You just took off. NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!" Jess said rapidly while Tom went and got everyone.

"Bec" I heard Leo gasp before grabbing my arms and checking me over for injuries. Once he was satisfied he pulled me into a hug.

"So where did you go" Charge asked.

"Oh um, I cant say" I whispered

"Rebecca Jane Brown you tell me where you were god dam it. NOW" Jess yelled while hitting me with a book.

"God calm down psycho and stop hitting me" I said while laughing.

"Well tell us" Sally said.

"Um I can't but I will be showing Leo later" I said confidently

"You will" Leo asked

"Yep make sure you are out at the stables at 4:30 ok, no later than that" I answered

"Yes Ma'am" he said.

16:30 (4:30pm)

As I saw Leo walk down to the stable I started smiling.

"Hey" he said as he wrapped his arms around me.

"Hi babe" I whispered as I turned in his arms to kiss him.

"So what we doing' he asked

"Well pick a horse apart from Romeo or Juliet"

"Um ok" he said as he moved to Patch.

"Really ok" I said as I went to Juliet

"Wait you said not Juliet"

"Um ya for you, I don't want her to hurt you, and all the other horses are too old to do anything but trot." I responded as I get her ready while Leo got Patch ready.

After 5 minutes we made our way to the woods.

"Seriously I swear you live in here." He groaned.

"I guess you could say that. Pick number 1 or 2" I said

"Um 2"

"Ok we are going spot number two first."

"Spot number 2, Bec what are you on about"

"You will see.

After 5 minutes we reached the lookout where I was last night.

"Wow" I heard Leo gasp.

"This is where I was last night. I have two spots where I think no one else knows about. There is this place which I call 'Lookout' and then the place we are going to next which is called 'Pond'" I said to him.

"Wow Bec this place is amazing no wonder you spend a nice amount of time out here"

"Ya come on we will come back after." I said as I turned Juliet around.

After 10 minutes we reached trees with cameo hanging around as I took Juliet under Leo and Patch followed.

"Oh" Leo gasped.

As I came in it had started to turn dark and the moon was shining on the water. On the bench I had set out a blanket and all of his favourite foods. Then near the edge of the pond I had gone into his bag and took out board shorts and put our swim wear there. Dancing around were fireflies which lit up everything around us. Despite this I had set candles in the middle of the bench. With the sounds of crickets and owls I would like to believe it was magical. We truly were one with nature tonight.

"And this is the pond" I whispered and led him to the food.

"This is amazing Bec" he whispered and started dishing out the food. I had one bottle of wine and then beers in an esky.

"Ya I know. This is my own pool that no one but you knows about. I come here when I'm upset or angry either here or the lookout."

"Ya I can see why the look like they could calm you easily"

"Bec can I ask you something"

"You just did" I said while chuckling. After a few seconds he joined in.

"Ok I'm gonna take that as a yes. Why did you go off yesterday"

"Oh I wanted to talk to Patch about everything that has happened since I left. And the reason I left is cause it's me and Patch when I talk to him I don't like risking the chance of someone hearing me. I tell him all my secrets. I know it's weird but when I tell him things I did that day at school cause you wouldn't believe me, it's nice to know that someone or something will listen without judging you. Patch was there for me in high school and I can't imagine my life without him. We have been through a lot together. He's my best animal friend and I love him. He's my baby." I replied.

"Oh Bec why didn't you just kick us out of the stable"

"cause I didn't think of that at the time."

"Oh sweetie come 'ere." He said as he pulled me onto his lap.

"You know thanks for sharing your secret places with me"

"Anytime" I said with a kiss.

10 minutes after sitting together and Leo drawing circles on my stomach I stood and told him to change.

Leo's POV

As she told me to go get changed I slid the box under her clothes and made my way behind the tree like she said while she got changed out there.

As I came back around I saw she had the box so I gently took it out of her hands and got down on one knee.

"Rebecca Jane (Bomber) Brown you are the most beautiful girl, intelligent, fierce and loyal woman I have ever met. This place is beautiful and I thank you for sharing it with me. But what would make me even happier is if you answer this properly. So will you do the honour of becoming my beautiful wife." I finished and when I stopped I realised she had tears coming down her face. I quickly stood up thinking I did something wrong.

"Bec I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you"

"Yes"

'Yes I know I upset you, you don't have.."

"Yes I will marry you, you idiot" she said while she smiled and kissed me and I slid the ring on her finger.

Bec's POV

'Wow I'm engaged to Leo. Oh crap how will everyone respond.' I thought while smiling

After ½ an hour swimming we decided we should head back. We got out of the pond packed up and headed out. I was glad that I brought torches and my phone so we had light.
