" Jay! " I exhale in amazement. The restaurant was beautiful. There was beautiful potted palm trees everywhere and golden chandeliers dangling from the ceiling. " You like it? " Jay asks smiling from ear to ear " Jay, its amazing! " I say, looking around the room taking, everything in. " How can you afford this? " I ask, knowing full well this isnt cheap in the slightest. " Babe, dont worry about it please. I want to just enjoy tonight with the most amazing woman. " Jay says. " I love you Jay. " I smile " Love you to Hails. "

" So, its Dhalias birthday next week. " I say, eating the lobster Jay ordered for the two of us. " We haven't got anything for her and what about the party? " Jay says wide eyed with panic. " Jay, it's a week we have plenty of time. " Its cute how invested Jay is when it comes to Dhalia. Hes not even her Dad but has taken her on like his own and loves her like his own. " What's your idea then? " Jay asks " Well, she could have a few of her friends round and we could have the team round as well. Just something simple with the people that love her. " I say taking a sip of wine. " She will love that. Just one condition. " Jay says pointing his finger " What? " I ask not sure where this is going " No more my little pony stuff please! Theres Dora everywhere in her bedroom and the living room looks like a petting zoo for my little pony. " Jay practically begs " Ye, definitely! " I chuckle in complete agreement.

It's nearly the end of the meal, nows the chance to asks the most amazing, beautiful woman to marry me.
" Hailey, your the most amazing woman I know. You have this amazing capability to know when I need cheering up and how to comfort me when you being goofy wont make me feel better. When I need a shoulder to cry on your right there by my side; no matter the time of day. You are the most amazing mom to Dhalia, you show her how much you love her and its clear to everyone you would to go the end of the world and back for her and anyone you deeply care about. You let me in to your and Dhalias life, giving me the best daughter I could ask for and making me the luckiest guy ever. I love you so much Hailey, so will you make me even more happier and marry me? " I get down on one knee and open the ring box. Hailey just stares down, completely frozen, her eyes rimmed with tears.
