Gail played with her food as Holly happily ate hers opposite her, she'd been thinking a lot the last couple of days and this was the moment to speak up
"Holly, I've been thinking about…. about us and… this isn't enough…. us being girlfriends isn't enough… for me"
"What? Gail…."
"Wait, let me….. it's just with you going away… I don't think we should….. I need more….." Gail shook her head this wasn't going right
She pushed her chair out and stood "I didn't mean to do this tonight…." she said to a shocked and confused Holly
"Gail…"
Gail just held her hand up to silence Holly, then she knelt down in front of her, Holly's face dropped
"I….. I don't do this kind of thing well, as you know, so I'm just going to ask you if you would marry me?"
