ks—I suspect it’s the amount of
alcohol I’ve had. My head is beginning to ache.
Abruptly, Elliot startles us all by standing and pulling his chair back so it
scrapes across the tile floor. All eyes turn to him. He gazes down at Kate for
one moment then drops to one knee beside her. Oh. My. God.
He reaches for her hand, and silence settles like a blanket over the entire
restaurant as everyone stops eating, stops talking, stops walking, and
stares.
“My beautiful Kate, I love you. Your grace, your beauty, and your fiery spirit
ha一ve no equal, and you ha一ve captured my heart. Spend your life with me.
Marry me.”
Holy shit!
