Chapter 9

Olivia woke up and looked beside her. Casey was still fast asleep. Olivia got out of bed carefully and went out to the kitchen. She made all of Casey's favorites: scrambled eggs, toast, hash browns, bacon, and black coffee, and orange juice. She put it all on a tray and beside it put a jewelry box with diamond earrings, a diamond necklace, and bracelet in it. She carefully carried it into the bedroom and just as Casey was waking up too. Perfect!

"Hey babe," Casey yawned.

"Morning sweetie," Olivia said cheerfully as she put the tray down on the bed. "I mad you breakfast."

"I see," Casey smiled. She kissed Olivia gently and then looked down at the tray. "What is this?"

"Just a little something I picked up," Olivia said modestly.

Casey picked up the jewelry box and opened it. She gasped and cupped her mouth with her hand. "They're beautiful Olivia," she finally said.

"You're beautiful," Olivia said softly. She reached over to the nightstand and opened the top drawer. "One more thing," she smiled.

"Oh, Olivia, even this is too much," Casey said taking Olivia's free hand.

Olivia opened the small jewelry box in her hand. "I love you Casey. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Every work related and non work related moment I get to spend with you is everything to me. You are my world," she flased the ring in Casey's face.

"Olivia," Casey cried.

"Please say you'll be mine forever," Olivia said softly in her ear.

"I'm yours 'til death do us part," Casey whispered back. "And for eternity after that," she smiled.

They kissed and Olivia slipped the ring on Casey's left ring finger.
