BeChloe Week 2023

Day 7 (Mafia) and Day 8 ("Why didn't you say anything?" "You needed me to be ok.")

I've decided to combine these two prompts into one. I hope you like what I did with them.

Summary: The FBI has tried to take down Mafia Don Vincenzo "Vinny" Di Papa for several years. It is decided the best way to get close to him is to have someone get close to his daughter, Chloe.


FBI Field Agent Beca Mitchell sat in the briefing room with several colleagues. Their Team Leader, Supervisory Special Agent Jesse Swanson, has just outlined the plan to put an agent on Chloe resulting in them getting close enough to her father to get the evidence needed to bring him down.

"Think you can handle it, Walp?" SSA Swanson asked.

"I know I can," Agent Chicago Walp said, smirking.

Beca scoffed, and Chicago glared at her.

"You got something to say, Mitchell?" Chicago asked.

"Yes, I do," Beca said, looking at Jesse. "I don't think the plan is going to work."

"Oh," Jesse said. "And why do you think that?"

"I've been studying the daughter, and I don't think she's into men," Beca said. "I know she frequents a number of popular lesbian bars, and I've seen her leaving with women. I think we need a female agent to approach her."

Chicago laughed and said, "I've seen pictures of her, and there is no doubt in my mind that she will go for me. I mean, look at me. She won't be able to resist me."

Beca smirked and shook her head. "Wanna bet on that?"

"You think you're her type?" Chicago asked, laughing again.

"Yes, I do," Beca said. "Why don't we both try and see which one she goes for? Either way, we'll have someone on the inside."

"I got fifty bucks that says she goes for Beca," Agent Stacie Conrad shouted.

"I got fifty that says you're wrong," Agent Bumper Allen said. "And she'll belong to Chicago before the night ends."

Jesse stood shaking his head. "Alright, settle down. We'll do it Beca's way. And I got fifty that says she'll be our inside man."

Beca sat back, smirking as the rest of the team made bets on her and Chicago. It didn't surprise her that the bets were split, with the female agents betting on her and the males, except for Jesse, betting on Chicago.

Jesse stood in front of the team once more and got them quiet.

"The plan starts tonight," Jesse said. "DiPapa's daughter goes by her mother's maiden name, so she's known as Chloe Beale. Remember that because that's the only name she'll answer to."

Jesse picked up folders from the table and handed them to the team. "We have intel that Chloe will be at the Pink Flamingo Lounge tonight at eight with a small group of friends. This will be the best time to approach her and get her interested in one of you. Once one of you has formed a relationship with her, we can bring down her Mafia Don father. This will ultimately disband a drug ring that has taken over the Eastern seaboard. Not to mention getting thousands of guns off the street and closing about a dozen open murder cases."

"Are we going to have other agents in the Lounge?" Stacie asked.

"Yes," Jesse said. "Mitchell, you and Walp will go in on your own. Stacie, you and I will be one couple; Bumper, you and Amy will be another. Jessica and Ashley, you'll be in the surveillance van to keep tabs on everything. Everyone watch everything and keep it low profile. Any questions?"

"No," Beca said.

"None here," Chicago said.

"Okay, let's go so we can get ready," Jesse said.

"You got it, boss," Stacie said, winking. "Pick me up at seven, and don't keep me waiting."

Beca and the team laughed.

"Get out of here," Jesse said, chuckling.

~~ BeChloe Week 2023 - Day 7 ~~

Beca arrived at the Pink Flamingo Lounge just before eight. She saw Chloe Beale standing at the door, waiting for her friends. She angled her rearview mirror down and adjusted her hair to ensure her earpiece couldn't be seen. Looking down, she unbuttoned another button on her blouse and plumped her breasts before leaving her car.

"I'm going in," Beca said as she started across the parking lot.

"Roger that," Ashley's voice said in her ear.

"Go get your girl, Beca," Jessica said. "We're rooting for you."

"Don't you girls start counting your money yet," Chicago's voice said.

Beca chuckled. When she looked up, Beca noticed Chloe checking her out. Chloe smiled when she caught Beca's eye; Beca returned the smile, then looked away and continued to the door. She nodded slightly as she walked past Chloe and entered.

Beca went to the bar, took a stool, and ordered a beer. She casually looked around and noticed Chicago sitting near the door, watching her. She raised her glass toward him and smirked. He did the same.

They both turned toward the door when it opened. Chloe came in with three other women and was immediately shown to a table. Beca checked them out as they sat. To Chloe's right was an attractive blonde who looked slightly uptight to Beca. To the left was a tall brunette who looked a couple of years younger than the other women. Across from Chloe was a darker-haired woman who looked like a mean girl. Beca chuckled when she realized that the four could be the cast from the movie "Mean Girls."

Just then, Chicago made his move and walked over to Chloe's table, where he stood for a moment. The girls stared at him.

"May we help you with something?" Beca heard the blonde say.

"I was just wondering if I could buy you ladies a drink," Chicago said.

"No thanks," Chloe said. "We're good."

"Oh, come on, beautiful," Chicago said, putting his hand on the back of Chloe's chair and leaning toward her. "It's just a drink."

"And I said, we're good," Chloe said, pushing Chicago's arm from her chair.

Beca could tell from Chloe's voice that she was already done with whatever Chicago was doing. She asked the bartender where the restrooms were. He pointed them out, and Beca asked for another beer.

"I'll be right back," Beca told him; he nodded, and Beca stood.

She could tell from the conversation that Chicago was getting nowhere with Chloe. Timing it just right, Beca walked behind Chloe as she pushed her chair back to stand. The chair hit Beca, and Chloe turned to apologize immediately.

"Oh, my gosh," Chloe said, taking Beca's arm. "I'm so sorry. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Beca said. "Honestly, no harm done."

"Let me buy you a drink as an apology," Chloe said.

"That's not necessary," Beca said.

"I insist," Chloe said, taking Beca's hand and leading her toward the bar.

Beca looked over her shoulder to see Chicago standing with his mouth agape. She chuckled when she heard the blonde say to him, "You can go now, big fella. You never stood a chance."

"What would you like?" Chloe asked as they reached the bar.

"I actually just ordered a fresh drink," Beca said, holding it up to show Chloe.

"Do you mind if I sit with you for a bit?" Chloe asked, looking back at her table. "I want that guy to go away so my friends and I can enjoy our dinner in peace."

Beca saw Chicago look at them, knowing he heard what Chloe said.

"How can I deny a beautiful damsel in distress," Beca said, smiling as she pulled the stool out for Chloe.

They both sat, and Chloe ordered a beer for herself.

"I'm Beca," Beca said, holding her hand out to Chloe.

"Chloe," Chloe said, shaking Beca's hand. "Thank you for this."

"No problem," Beca said as Chicago approached them.

He put his hand on the bar between the two women. Beca looked down at Chicago's hand and then up to his face.

"Dude, what is your issue?" Beca asked.

Chicago ignored Beca and looked at Chloe.

"I thought you didn't need a drink," Chicago said.

"I didn't need a drink from you," Chloe said. "Now, if you don't mind, I'm trying to get to know my new friend, Beca."

Chicago looked at Beca; Beca smirked, saying, "I think she just told you to fuck off."

Chicago pushed away from the bar, growling, "Fine."

"Byee," Beca said, waving as he stomped off.

"Pay up, suckers," Amy said, causing a cacophony of cheers and "way to go, Beca" in Beca's ear.

"Quiet down, everyone," Jesse ordered.

"I know this is going to sound crazy, but would you like to go out with me sometime?" Chloe asked, biting her lip.

"I'd love to," Beca said, pulling out her phone. "Put your number in here, and I'll call you to set something up."

Chloe took the phone and added her contact info. As she handed Beca her phone, she noticed her friends watching them.

"I should get back to my table," Chloe said.

"Okay," Beca said. "It was nice to meet you. I'll call you."

"Be sure you do," Chloe said, kissing Beca on the cheek before returning to her friends.

~~ BeChloe Week 2023 - Day 7 ~~

The next day, during the debrief of the night before, everyone was ragging on Chicago for "losing" Chloe to Beca. The team joked and exchanged money to settle their bets.

"Good work last night, Beca," Jesse said.

"Thanks, boss," Beca said. "Um, I plan to call Chloe tonight to set up our first date."

"That's good," Jesse said. "We won't have you wired this time, but we will have agents around if something goes south. Just keep it casual and make sure there's a second date."

"No problem," Beca said, smirking. "The way she looked down my shirt, I'm pretty sure we'll be fast friends."

"I know you'll do whatever you need to do to get evidence against DiPapa," Jesse said. "But be careful you don't fall for Chloe. She's your type, and from everything we've learned about her, she's really a good person despite who her father is. I don't want you or Chloe to get hurt when all this ends."

Beca nodded solemnly. "I hear you, boss."

"Okay," Jesse said. "Ashley, what has DiPapa been up to lately?"

"Things have been unusually quiet," Ashley said. "Although we did intercept a phone call from him to another man, talking about a big score coming up. We haven't identified the other guy yet. And there was insufficient information to determine whether the score is guns or drugs."

"We did put other agents on the wiretaps to listen in 24/7 to see if we can get anything more on it," Jessica said.

"Good," Jesse said. "Keep me updated."

"Yes, sir," Jessica and Ashley said.

"Is there anything else we need to talk about?" Jesse asked, looking around the room to see heads shaking. "Okay then, let's get out of here and get some real work done."

The agents all nodded and started leaving.

"Beca, let me know when and where your date is," Jesse said as Beca was leaving.

"You got it, Jesse," Beca said.

An hour later, Beca sat at her desk, looking at her phone. She had pulled it out to call Chloe when Stacie asked her what she was doing.

"I'm calling Chloe to set up our date."

"No," Bumper interrupted. "You should wait two or three days before you call her."

"I'm supposed to schedule the date as soon as possible."

"But, it's like an unwritten rule to wait," Bumper said.

"No, it's not," Stacie said. "That's something you guys say because you're afraid of rejection."

"No, it's not," Bumper scoffed.

"I don't care what you say," Beca said. "I'm calling her."

Beca pulled up Chloe's contact and placed the call.

~~ BeChloe Week 2023 - Day 7 ~~

Four months later, after getting nothing from their investigation, Beca was shocked by what was happening.

"What exactly is this?" Beca asked, standing before Chloe and holding a jump drive.

"It's a record of all my father's illegal operations," Chloe said, shrugging. "Records of drug and gun smuggling. All the whens and wheres both past and present."

Beca's eyes widened in surprise.

"Why are you giving me this?" Beca asked.

"I'm not stupid, Agent Mitchell," Chloe said, causing Beca's eyes to widen more. "Don't look so surprised. I knew who you were two weeks after we met."

"I'm sorry," Beca said. "Your father is a bad guy, and we couldn't figure out another way to bring him down."

"Oh, spare me," Chloe said. "I know what he is and what he's done. That's why I legally changed my name to Beale. I didn't want to be associated with him and his business, but that didn't really help me, did it? You and the FBI are using me, just like my father uses me. For the longest time, I thought I was the family he cared about. But in reality, it was just a smokescreen to hide his Mafia family and the ones he really cared about."

Chloe wiped a tear from her cheek.

"I'll have to take this to my boss," Beca said.

"I figured as much," Chloe said.

"And I want you to come with me," Beca added.

Chloe's head shot up in surprise.

"Why?"

"I think if you testify about what's on here, we'll have a better shot at putting him away for a long time. And you can live your life as Chloe Beale. And not as Chloe DiPapa, daughter of a Mafia kingpin."

Chloe stood quietly for a moment as more tears escaped. She finally nodded.

"I'll testify," Chloe said.

"You will?" Beca asked. Chloe nodded, and Beca said, "Thank you. Would you come with me now?"

Chloe nodded, and Beca reached for her hand; Chloe snatched it away. Beca inhaled sharply and clenched her teeth. She turned and made her way to the door; Chloe followed.

~~ BeChloe Week 2023 - Day 7 ~~

After securing visitor credentials for Chloe, Beca silently led her to the seventh floor, where her team was housed. Everyone did a double-take when Beca walked in with Chloe. Beca's face was emotionless as she passed by Stacie and approached Jessica; Chloe stopped a few feet behind her.

"Jessica," Beca said, handing her the jump drive. "I need you and Ashley to work with Chloe and go through this to verify its authenticity. I'll get Jesse and the rest of the team together and meet you in the conference room in a few minutes."

"Okay," Jessica said. "Ashley, Miss Beale, please come with me."

Chloe followed Jessica and Ashley. Beca watched her go.

"Beca?" Stacie said, reaching for Beca.

"Don't," Beca said, holding up her hand.

Beca knocked on Jesse's door and entered.

"Chloe Beale has agreed to testify against her father," Beca said, surprising Jesse. "Jessica and Ashley are going through a jump drive she gave me with records of all DiPapa's illegal dealings. I told them we'd meet them in the conference room."

Beca quickly wiped her eyes so Jesse wouldn't see the tears.

"Great work, Beca," Jesse said. "Let's go see the evidence."

Beca slowly stood and followed Jesse. Beca yelped when she was suddenly grabbed and pulled to the side.

"We'll be with you in a minute, boss," Stacie said when Jesse turned back.

Jesse nodded and called out for the rest of the team to follow him to the conference room. Stacie waited until they entered the conference room before turning to Beca. Beca was staring down at the floor.

"Hey," Stacie said, causing Beca to look up. "Are you okay?"

Beca shook her head and wiped her eyes. "Chloe hates me."

"Oh, Beca," Stacie said sadly. "You fell in love with her."

It was a statement, not a question. Beca could only nod.

"I'm sorry," Stacie said. "Why don't you go splash some water on your face, and I'll tell Jesse you'll join us shortly, okay?"

Beca swallowed and nodded. Stacie watched as Beca moved toward the restroom. She sighed and entered the conference room.

"...it looks legit," Jessica said as Stacie entered the conference room and sat. "We should be able to catch his people in the act at one of two locations marked here and here."

Jessica used a laser to point out the two locations on a map.

"He'll have extra men on hand at both those locations," Chloe said quietly. "You'll have to be extremely cautious because he'll start a gunfight to protect his interests."

"Stacie, where's Beca?" Jesse asked.

"She went to the restroom," Stacie said. "She'll be here in a few minutes."

"Okay," Jesse said, turning to Chloe. "I heard you are willing to testify against your father; is that true?"

"Yes," Chloe said.

"Okay, then we're going to put you in protective custody," Jesse said. "I'll have Beca and-"

"No," Chloe said quickly. "Not Beca."

Having heard what Jesse said, Beca walked in as Chloe was speaking.

"She's right," Beca said, sitting as far from Chloe as possible. "It shouldn't be me."

"Are you sure?"

Beca nodded. "Honestly, Jesse, it's best if you assign someone else."

Jesse nodded and turned to Stacie.

"Stacie, you and Chicago will take Chloe into protective custody," Jesse said. "I'll give you the info on the safe house once we're done here. I don't want any leaks from anyone in the department. The three of us will be the only ones to know her location. Understood?"

"Yes, sir," Stacie said.

"Understood," Chicago said.

The team reviewed the remaining items on the jump drive for the next hour and developed a plan to take down Vicenzo DiPapa.

~~ BeChloe Week 2023 - Day 7 ~~

After getting directions to the safe house, Chicago and Stacie escorted Chloe from Jesse's office. The two agents grabbed their "go" bags and headed to the elevator. Chicago used the security key to take them straight to the underground parking garage.

"We'll take you by your place to pack some of your things," Stacie told Chloe. "We'll be at the safe house for a few days, so pack accordingly."

Chloe nodded as they exited the elevator. Chicago led them to a black SUV with darkened windows and got behind the wheel. Stacie got in the back with Chloe. Chloe sat with her arms crossed, staring out the window.

"Whatever you're thinking about Beca, you're wrong," Stacie said.

"You don't know what I'm thinking about Beca," Chloe said as she continued to stare out the window.

"Then enlighten me," Stacie said. "Because the Beca we left upstairs is not the Beca I've known for the past five years. She's in love with you and thinks you hate her."

"I know," Chloe said sadly, finally looking at Stacie. "But it has to be this way so she'll be safe."

"Why wouldn't she be safe?" Chicago asked, looking at Chloe in the rearview mirror.

"Because I know my father better than anyone," Chloe said. "He knew Beca and I were dating and found out she was with the FBI. So he had one of his men tell me she was an agent and to be careful around her. But I already had strong feelings for her and didn't care about her job. And when I discovered she was looking for evidence to use against my father, I knew I had to give Beca what I had to keep her safe because I knew he'd go after everyone I cared about once he learned I intended to be a witness against him. So, I'd rather Beca think I hate her so she'd stay away from me than for him to hurt or kill her."

Chloe wiped a tear from her cheek and continued staring out the window.

"Beca can take care of herself," Stacie said.

"As I said," Chloe said, looking at Stacie. "I know my father and what he's capable of."

~~ BeChloe Week 2023 - Day 7 ~~

Four days later, Chicago and Stacie were on high alert. Today was the day the FBI would be raiding several of Vinny DiPapa's known properties looking for guns, drugs, and any other evidence that would put him away for good.

"Is Beca a part of the raids?" Chloe asked nervously.

"Yes," Stacie replied.

"Well, if you want to take my father into custody, you should tell your boss that he'll probably be at his home in Atlanta," Chloe said.

"Are you sure about that?" Stacie asked.

"Yes," Chloe said. "He can monitor everything that's going on from there. He'll be more vulnerable as he'll send his most trusted men to receive any goods being smuggled in."

"Thanks," Stacie said, pulling out her phone.

Stacie put together a text and sent it.

Beca's phone pinged with a text. She read it and showed it to Jesse.

"Okay," Jesse said. "You're with me. Bumper, you and Amy follow us. We're going in silent. The rest of you have your orders. Let's go."

"On it," Bumper said as he and Amy entered their SUV.

Beca got into another SUV with Jesse. They took off with Bumper following closely behind them. Jesse pulled to the curb about a quarter of a mile from DiPapa's house. Bumper parked behind him, and he and Amy met Jesse and Beca at the back of their vehicle.

"Here, you'll need these," Jesse said as he handed each a silencer for their weapons and earpieces to communicate once they separated.

They attached the silencers and placed their earpieces. They then looked to Jesse for further instructions.

"Based on Chloe's info, there won't be too many guards around," Jesse said. "Bumper, you and Amy take the back; Beca and I will take the front. Keep your eyes peeled and quietly take down as many guards as possible. We have the element of surprise on our side, and I'd like to keep it that way until we have DiPapa in custody. Understood?"

"Yes, boss," Amy said.

"Understood," Bumper said.

"Let's move," Jesse said, and they all approached the house.

When they reached the corner of the property, Bumper and Amy veered to the right to go to the back of the house. Beca and Jesse continued on to the front.

Beca suddenly fired two shots, sending a man over the side of the porch. Jesse nodded, and they continued forward, eliminating two more armed guards.

"We've eliminated a couple of guys and are at the back door," Bumper's voice came through the earpieces.

"Hold until I give the okay," Jesse responded. "Beca and I are just getting to the front door."

Beca and Jesse were now standing on either side of the door. At Jesse's nod, Beca reached for the doorknob and tried to turn it; it slowly turned, and she nodded at Jesse.

"On my count, we breach," Jesse said.

"Roger that," Bumper said.

"Three, two, one," Jesse said.

Beca held her gun up and pushed the door open, sweeping the gun from side to side as she entered.

"Clear," Beca said as Jesse turned left and walked down a short hallway.

Jesse stopped and looked into a room, calling out "clear" when he didn't see anyone.

"Bumper, you and Amy continue on and check every room on the first floor," Jesse instructed. "Beca and I are going up to the second level."

"Roger that," Amy and Bumper said.

Beca stood ready at the foot of the stairs and nodded at Jesse. Jesse raised his gun and went up, stopping to look through the railing to ensure it was clear.

"Clear," he said, and Beca made her way to him.

"Clear," they heard Bumper say.

Sporadic "clear" came through as the four agents made their way through the house.

When she and Jesse reached the last door, Beca placed an ear to the door and listened. She heard a voice and pointed to her ear and then the door.

"Bumper, you and Amy get up here now," Jesse said.

"On our way, boss," Amy said.

"What do we have?" Bumper asked.

"I heard someone talking," Beca responded. "I think it's DiPapa. It sounds like he may be talking on the phone."

Bumper and Amy cleared the staircase and went to Beca and Jesse.

"Based on the floor plans, this is the Master Bedroom," Jesse said quietly. "It covers the length of the house. Beca and Amy, you two go left, and Bumper and I will go right when we enter."

"Roger that," three voices said simultaneously.

At Jesse's count, Beca turned the knob and opened the door. She raised her gun as soon as there was space, and the four agents rushed into the room.

~~ BeChloe Week 2023 - Day 7 ~~

One year later, Beca picked up her cane and met Stacie outside her apartment. They were headed to the Court House to watch Vincenzo DiPata's sentencing hearing. DiPata had made a deal to plead guilty to all charges so the death penalty would be removed from consideration, and he'd be sentenced to life in prison. They didn't know that he did it so Chloe wouldn't have to testify against him.

Stacie parked, and the two women exited the vehicle. They then went toward the Court Room where the final sentencing hearing would occur. Beca looked at the ground as she walked, still getting used to having a cane.

"Beca?" Chloe's voice caused Beca to stop and look up.

Beca couldn't say anything; she could only stare at the woman she hadn't seen in almost a year.

"You're looking much better than the last time I saw you," Chloe said with a small smile.

Beca's brows furrowed in confusion.

"You didn't know it," Stacie said. "But Chloe came to the hospital almost every day to see you."

"I thought you went into Witness Protection," Beca said, still staring at Chloe.

"I was going to," Chloe responded. "But then my father decided to work out a plea deal where if the death penalty were removed, he would plead guilty, so I opted out."

Stacie quietly slipped away and went into the courtroom.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You needed me to be okay," Chloe said. "And knowing that my father was the one who shot you, I wasn't. And then I needed you to be okay. So, I went to the hospital to see for myself."

"I thought you hated me," Beca said, looking down.

"I didn't hate you," Chloe said. "I fell in love with you and acted as if I hated you so you'd walk away, and my father wouldn't hurt you."

Beca scoffed.

"It's true," Chloe said. "In the short time we were together, I fell in love with you" She paused and took a step forward. "I'm still in love with you."

Beca stood silently, watching Chloe. Chloe smiled and took another step toward Beca. Beca didn't move, so Chloe took another. She kept moving forward until she could wrap her arms around Beca. Beca wrapped her arms around Chloe and held her tightly. She buried her face in Chloe's neck, mumbling, "I love you, too."

Chloe smiled and hugged Beca tighter

"Hey, you two," Stacie called out, causing them to pull apart. "They're ready to start."

"Can we pick this up later?" Chloe asked.

"Of course," Beca said, taking Chloe's hand and leading her into the courtroom.

~~ BeChloe Week 2023 - Day 7 ~~

Eighteen months later, Beca stirred when she felt Chloe moving beside her. Beca smiled and turned so she was facing Chloe.

"Happy anniversary, my love," Chloe said, kissing Beca.

"We're not married, so what anniversary are we celebrating?" Beca asked.

"It was a year ago today that you finally saw things my way and moved in with me," Chloe said.

"Oh, right," Beca said, pulling Chloe to her. "Best decision I ever made."

"I agree," Chloe said, pushing Beca onto her back.

Beca smiled as Chloe straddled her thighs.

"Mmm," Beca said when Chloe leaned down and kissed her.

Chloe pulled back and said, "I've got something for you."

"I didn't know it was tradition to give a gift for a moving-in together anniversary," Beca said, chuckling.

"There isn't," Chloe said, rolling off Beca.

Beca sat up and watched as Chloe went into their closet. She then heard Chloe rummaging around as if searching for something.

"Is everything okay in there?" Beca called out. "Did you forget where you hid my moving-in anniversary gift?"

"Shut up and close your eyes," Chloe said.

Beca laughed but did as Chloe instructed. Chloe peeked out of the closet and ensured Beca's eyes were closed. She then tiptoed over to the bed and got down on one knee.

"You can open your eyes now," Chloe said.

Beca opened her eyes and sat up straighter when she saw the ring Chloe held in front of her.

"Oh, my god," Beca said as tears sprang to her eyes.

Chloe cleared her throat. "Beca, I know we had some ups and downs at the start of our relationship, but I knew early on that you would be someone very special to me. Everything that happened happened for a reason. And that reason brought us to this point. I love you with everything I am, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Beca, will you marry me?"

Beca wiped the tears from her eyes and pulled Chloe into a kiss. Chloe wrapped her arms around Beca's shoulders and kissed her back.

Beca broke the kiss and looked into Chloe's eyes.

"I love you," she said.

"I love you, too," Chloe said, giggling. "But, you haven't answered the question."

Beca laughed and said, "Yes! A million times yes, I'll marry you."

Chloe smiled and placed the ring on Beca's finger. Her smile widened as she captured Beca's lips in another kiss.

This time, Chloe broke the kiss and stared into Beca's eyes.

"I can't believe we actually engaged," Chloe said, smiling.
