Everything was in place. Ben had held this reservation, at this same place, at the same time, for the past month. There was this anxiety that everything would be perfect, the day would be great, but then you got to the night time and there'd be a problem. Rain. Wind storms. Rogue tornadoes going down Pennsylvania Avenue. The reason why they were in Washington D.C. for this was, of course, because of Ben's wonderful older sister.
If a proposal was going to be well documented, it should be in the right sort of place, right? Which is what this was, hence his nerves. Ben knew that she would say yes. He hoped that she would say yes. They'd been together for over a year now, and Lucy was perfect in his eye. And more importantly, she checked out with the rest of the family. Aaron didn't count, Ben wasn't exactly going to his younger brother for relationship advice.
The night was gorgeous, the perfect kind of weather that you always hoped for. While it was a weekday, the place they were having dinner at wasn't packed, but it wasn't empty, either. Really, there wasn't anything that could go wrong. Dinner was perfect, the best roast lamb Ben had ever had, and he reached over the table, taking Lucy's hand.
"We really need to find time to do this more often." Ben smiled at her before taking a sip from the wineglass on his right.
