Eli and Bea, around 4am Monday morning, apartment 7140
Eli had thought about this all weekend long. He had talked things over with his father and his brother in law. With their confidence and the family's well received compliments about Bea, he'd taken the one thing passed down through the generations of Scott men. A simple solitaire ring sat in a beautifully carved wooden box in his dresser. He couldn't do it yet. He hadn't even been able to muster enough courage to tell her he loved her yet. No way could he skip that. But he could do this one more little step.
Getting up and dressed in his uniform, he watched as she and Pippa slept in his bed. He pulled a key out of his pocket, set it on the note for her and hoped she'd be there when he got back. His note said You'll need this if you're going to be here any time you want. I lock my door when I leave. When she didn't stir, he leaned over to kiss her lightly then left for work.
