"Wow, that is good!" Clark says after being fed a forkful of salmon by Ruby.

"See? I told you it was!" Ruby said.

"Maybe we should have their catering services at our wedding," Clark said.

"That's not a bad idea! But I don't know if they'll have time for a wedding cake." Ruby said.

"I'm sure Camila can talk to whoever owns this place and set a cake tasting session for us," Clark said.

Ruby hides her face in the crook of Clark's neck and lets out a small laugh.

"Can you believe we're talking about shit like this?" Ruby asked.

"I can! I've always dreamed about doing things like this with the woman I love." Clark said.

"Sounds like the beginning of your vows," Ruby said.

"Speaking of, have you been working on them?" Clark asked.

Ruby looks down trying to figure out whether to lie or tell the truth.

"Uhhh..." Ruby said.

"Ruby? Have you been working on them?" Clark asked in a firm tone.

"Hold on! Now when did you start becoming my dom?" Ruby challenged.

"When you decided not to work on your vows," Clark said.

"You know I'm not good with words, Clark," Ruby said.

"Well, that explains why you ghosted me initially," Clark said with a laugh.

"Can we not bring that up please?" Ruby asked as she looks down in embarrassment, also letting out a laugh.

"Alright, I'm sorry. What matters is that we're together now. And I'm sure you'll be able to get the right words out. Just like you did on the night I proposed." Clark said.

Clark places his hand on top of Ruby's as he looks into her eyes and gives her a soft kiss.

"Yeah...and then we had some incredible sex," Ruby whispered in Clark's ear followed by a nibble.

Clark smiles and blushes.

"Why do you always make everything so dirty?" Clark asked.

"Don't act like you don't love it." Ruby teased.

"I never said that I didn't," Clark said with a laugh.

"Okay good. Because I would hate for you to get tired of me." Ruby said.

"Now that is absurd! I would never get tired of you." Clark said.

"You wouldn't?" Ruby asked.

"No way! Every time I wake up next to you, I think to myself, 'Wow, I cannot believe that I'm going to marry this lady very soon!' Like I should be the one worrying that you're gonna get tired of my nerdy ass." Clark said.
