Molly awoke to the sun streaming in through the crack in the curtain. She looked over at Charles who was still asleep next to her. She had hit the jackpot a few short years ago she was in a dead end job with a shit life and a shit boyfriend who would have it off with anyone in a skirt. And now she had a boyfriend who would do anything for her and well respected job.

She snuggled down in to Charles and traced over the scar that was a prominent reminder of that day on her first tour when everything went tango uniform very quickly and she had almost lost him. Charles caught her hand and kissed it.

"Morning" he gasped and pulled molly close and kissed her. "

Let's go away for a few days"

"What do you mean?"

"Well I have booked a couple of weeks in a little seaside town in Devon"

"When? Where? Why?"

"Well we leave today we are going to a place called Ilfracombe and you need a break."

"Well come on then lazy I need to pack"

They set off after lunch and it took just over 2 hours to get down to Devon and to their hotel, which was a small little place overlooking a small bay and a short walk from the centre of the town.

They left their belongings in their room and went to explore around the town and get something to eat. They stopped at a charming little chip shop/restaurant. Charles had fish and chips and molly who wasn't a fan of fish had a cheese burger. When their food arrived molly laughed at the size of the fish that was on the plate

"That's massive, it could feed 2 section for a month"

"You are joking. Remember that day, the 50 sausage challenge"

"Yeah you are probably right "

They ate in silence for a while,

"This fish tastes really fresh and tasty, you sure you don't want to try any?"

"Nah fish makes me ill. These chips are to die for"

They finished their meal and walked on to one of the beaches by a theatre with some good looking shows on whist they were there. There was also a little public house opposite so they decided to go and get a drink,

"Evening folks what can I get you" the jolly looking man behind the bar greeted them as they approached

"I'll have a pint of cider please and molls?"

"'I'll have a apple tizer please"

"That will be £5.60" the bar man said preparing there drinks.

"Thanks mate" Charles took the drinks over to where molly was sitting

They spent a happy few days sightseeing and exploring the surrounding area. Molly didn't like the water train they went on in Lynton however it was the only way down the gorge without going down a hill as steep as hell. However she did like the zoo that they went to and the farm where she got to feed baby lambs and see lots of cute animals. She made a promise to bring her siblings down when she finally learned to drive.

On their last night Charles pulled molly on to the beach by the hotel to watch the sun set. He packed a packed and sneaked a bottle of bubbly.

On the beach he got down on one knee and took molly's hand and stroked it with his thumb

"Molly…"

"Charles what are you doing you prize twat"

"Molly… will you marry me?"

"w…w…what … yes"

Charles placed a small elegant diamond on her finger and kissed her.

They watched the sun set, sat with their fingers intertwined. Molly smiled she felt the happiest she had felt in a long while …
