The Secret Life Of Casualty
Chapter 20
Ethan was nervous; he her back was turned Ethan stood and pacing around the small flat trying to keep himself calm. The table had two glasses on and in the middle was a bucket filled with ice; with an expensive bottle of wine. He kept checking his watch not wanting Lilly to be late for him and continued to pace around.
Finally the doorbell to the flat rang. Lilly wore a short black dress, with a jacket completing the look. Taking a deepbreath Ethan fiddled with his cufflinks and walked towards the door; pulling it open.
"Hi?" Lily whispered to him shyly as she stepped inside the flat.
"This way " Ethan lead the way to the kitchen his nerves increasing at what he was going to do.
"More wine?" He asked once they were both seated at the table.
Lily nodded watching him pour it and it and they began to eat the curry and rice that Ethan had made from scratch. Lily had never tasted anything so delicious. Once finished she offered to help him clean up and whilehher back was turned Ethan put the ring in the middle of the table before he got down on one knee, which surprised her.
"Lily, will you marry me?" Ethan asked
Lily stared in total shock she wasn't expecting him to propose tonight. She had thought they were just friends. True, she didn't have many in the ED but she supposed she classed Ethan as her friend.
"Lily?" Ethan asked nervously and she finally looked at him.
"Yes" She whispered, her heart secretly exploding with happiness as he gently slid the gold ring on to her third finger.
All she'd ever wanted was for someone to love her and she had found it in Ethan Hardy.
