JESSICA
This place is really nice.
JEFF
It really is. I'm glad we came here.
JESSICA
As am I.
JEFF
This past year has been amazing, I'm so glad I've been able to spend it with you.
JESSICA
I feel the same way.
JEFF
I gotta tell you. I really used to think I was so unlucky when it came to love. Then I met you.
JESSICA
Aw...
JEFF
That's probably why I seem so slow when it comes to things like anniversaries and stuff. I'm just not used to being able to get to these points. Sorry you had to plan all this.
JESSICA
It's okay, don't worry.
JEFF
I know, but I do. You know me.
JESSICA
I do know you.
JEFF
That's what I love about you. You got to know me, you fell in love with me. I got to know you, I fell for you. It's amazing, isn't it? That all this can actually happen.
JESSICA
You kind of sound doubtful of yourself.
JEFF
No, no. Not in myself, just my luck.
