I open my eyes to bright sunshine filling my room and I realize it finally is August 14th. Our proposal's anniversary!

"Happy Anniversary, Sweeetheart," I whisper softly in Nessie's ear.

"Happy Anniversary, Honey," she replies, smiling. "Remember, our friends are coming to dinner today, Logie-bear."

I sigh loudly.

"Yeah, I know... At least we can have a romantic supper later on, just me and you, Lionessie," I say, winking.

Nessie chuckles softly.

"What?" I ask her, somewhat surprised.

"You've never called me that before," Nessie replies, still chuckling, looking me in the eyes.

"Hey, I finally figured out a nickname for you that is much cuter than what you call me," I defend myself.

"Lionessie... I like it, no, honestly, I love it!" Nessie tells me. "Thank you, Logan, it really is the cutest nickname I've ever had."

"Happy to hear that," I reply. "Wait till you see what else I have for ya, my love."

"Wait till you see my Anniversary gift for ya," Nessie says, winking.

"Can't wait to see it then," I wink back.

Hours fly by pleasantly, we have fun cooking together, having dinner with all our friends  and even my physical therapy isn't that exhausting today. Twice I noticed Pres and Nessie were talking about something quietly, yet excitedly, which made me feel suspicious... Never mind, though, I'm happy they get on well with each other.

Finally, it's evening. Almost supper time.

Nessie and I prepare our favorite version of spaghetti.

"Let's go and get changed for our black tie supper now, Honey," Nessie tells me. "The pasta will be ready soon."

"Please, let me take care of it for you," Pam says, smiling. "You two didn't even let me help you today."

"Okay, thanks, Pam," Nessie says, smiling.

Nessie helps me to get upstairs, then we part. Nessie goes to the bathroom, so I go to my room and prepare my outfit, the very same I wore the night when I proposed to Nessie. Then it's my turn for a quick shower, Nessie enters her room, wearing her bathrobe. I hurry up to my room to get dressed, I still prefer to dress up while sitting down. As I leave my room, I see Nessie in the same blue dress she wore two years ago.

"You look prettier than ever, Sweetheart," I tell her.

"Awww, thanks, Honey. You look pretty good as well," she replies, blushing.

We head downstairs and make our way to the garden, where we agreed to have our romantic rendez-vous. We have a good time enjoying our favorite dish as well as each other's company. Once we finish, the best part is to come. My gift for Nessie, of course.

"Your gift is waiting in my room, Sweetheart," I say somewhat mysteriously. "Let's go there."

"All right, Honey," Nessie replies, winking.

Once we're upstairs...

"Let me get your gift before we go to your room, Logie," Nessie suggests, smiling.

"Okay," I say.

We enter my room together and take a seat on my bed.

"So, close your eyes now, Sweeheart," I tell Nessie.

As she does so, I take out my first gift for her - a gold necklace with a heart-shaped pendant which says: ' I love You, Yours forever, Logie-bear'. I carefully put it around Nessie's smooth, sun-kissed neck.
