Who: Colin Ford & Owen Murphy
What: THEY'RE GETTING ENGAGED
When: Saturday, early evening, February 14th 2015
Where: The Agency in London, Colin's old office
Warnings: Sap overload?
Colin had never been so nervous in his life. It wasn't that he thought Owen would say no, he was pretty confident when it came to the actual end result of this thing. But he'd never done this before... obviously. He was nervous because he wanted to get this right. He had one shot at making this whole thing perfect, and he was determined to do it. He had to do this right, for him and for Owen.
He had been thinking about this for a long time. If he was honest with himself, possibly ever since Owen had walked back into his life. When he'd shown up at Colin's office door two years ago, and things had more or less just picked up from where they'd left off. But things had been made crystal clear to Colin a month ago. A month ago, when he was passing through the political department's floor and walked by his old office. The office where he and Owen had first met. Also the night of their first kiss, and the start of... well, the start of life as he knew it now, really. After that, he couldn't stop thinking about it. It just felt right, and Colin didn't want to waste any more time. He didn't want to ever waste time with Owen.
It was Valentine's Day. Possibly the cheesiest move he could make other than the nature of the proposal itself, but he was pretty sure Owen would love it. Well, he was hoping Owen would. He'd convinced the person who now held Colin's old office to give it up for the day, so Colin could decorate it with candles and rose petals that he spread out on the ground. He'd already made plans with Owen to go out to dinner that night, but he'd arranged for Owen to meet him here first. Told him he had to drop off some paper work to the political department so to meet him at his old office, since it might take more than a few minutes. Owen would know where it is.
Alyssa had agreed to be his look out so Colin would know when Owen was in the building, and when he got the warning, Colin could practically feel his palms starting to sweat. He was so nervous he was shaking a little, so he closed his eyes and took a moment to get it together with Dick silently coaching him. He was wearing nice pants and a light blue button down, nothing overly fancy. The fanciest thing on him was the ring in his front pocket, which he gripped tightly as he waited, surrounded by lit candles and praying to god that Owen said yes, and that he didn't accidentally set the room on fire.
