He was ready for this. If Alex was being completely honest with himself, he'd been ready for this for a long time. It was ridiculous that he could feel the slight shake of his hands that he'd tucked into his pockets alongside the ring that had caused him a number of sleepless nights and anxiety. Maybe it was a sign, that the moments that he'd been ready to do it back in their original time had all fallen through. Maybe after all this time, what he'd been waiting on was the feeling to solidify deep in his heart; ready to stay there and pulsing through his veins with every heartbeat. He knew that her inevitable answer would be yes. But it wouldn't stop him from trying to make it as special as he believed she deserved. With a quick pat to his pants pocket where his notecards laid, Alex exited the car, holding his hand out to assist Emma as they made their way into Quince.
"I told you, it's a surprise. We haven't been anywhere since the beginning of the week, aren't you getting a little stir crazy?" Her questions had been incessant the whole day.

It wasn't until long after the hour that mail would arrive had passed without their delivery that Emma slowly turned into her socializing self, ready to go out. "Besides, you've been working hard since we got here. If we don't take some sort of break, we're both going to lose our minds." His arm tightened around her waist instinctively as they checked in with the MaƮtre d, before they were guiding to the small, semi-private area; ideal for people watching and some privacy during the proposal. His palms started itching as he assisted Emma with her chair, sitting across from her afterwards and giving her a smile. "You look beautiful, Em."
