"Night." Tellie turned around so she was sitting on her knees and peered at Kayla over the back of the couch. "So what's this about threatening to kill your boss?"

Brooklyn went into her room, changing into pajamas and lying down in bed. She was nearly asleep when she heard a noise. She got up out of bed and walked over to the window, where the noise had came from. She peered out to see Gabriel, her boyfriend. She opened the window. "What're you doing out here," she asked quietly.
"I jus' hadta tell ya somethin'. Could you come down heah fa a few minutes?" he asked.
"Be down in a minute," Brooklyn said, not even bothering to change and walking out into the living room.

"Yeah," Brooklyn said. Gabe had this way of always making things better when she had had a bad day. She walked out the door, went down the steps, and rushed into Gabe's open arms.
"Hey baby. How was your day?" he asked, kissing her on the cheek.
"I've had better, but seeing you brightens it up alot," she answered, retreating from the hug.
"I think I know how to make it better," Gabe said, smiling. "Come with me." he took Brooklyn's hand and led her to his car.
"Where we going?" she asked as he opened the door for her.
"You'll see. It's a surprise," he answered, closing the door when she got in and going over to climb into the driver's seat. Now, put this on, he held a blindfold up.
Brooklyn put it on and the car started off.

Tellie shook her head after the door closed behind Brooklyn before settling back down against the back of the couch and returning to her book. "Geez, she's like a lovesick puppy when it comes to Gabe."

They rode along for a while and then finally the car stopped. "Stay right there and I'll be around in a sec," Gabe said, jumping out and walking around the car. He opened Brooklyn's door and took her hand, helping her out of the car and leading her.
He led her a little ways then took off the blindfold.
Brooklyn looked around: they were at the very spot beside the river where they had shared their first kiss. She wondered what was going on.
Gabe took Brooklyn's hands. "Brooklyn, the first time I saw you, I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. And I can't explain it, but somehow I knew you were the one." He reached into his pocket, withdrew a tiny box, and got down on one knee, still holding one of her hands in his.
Brooklyn's eyes filled with tears as he opened the box, took out the ring, and said, "Will you marry me?"
"Yes!" she said. He put the ring on her finger and stood up. She launched herself at him and kissed him.
A short while later, they got into the car and Gabe drove her home. He walked her to the door of the apartment and they shared one last kiss before saying goodbye. When Gabe had gotten in his car, Brooklyn walked back in, shutting the door quietly, and let out an involuntary squeal.

Kayla looked up, "What happened?" she asked, "He finally reveal his true identity as Batman?" she laughed a little at her own joke.

Brooklyn couldn't speak. All she could do was hold up the hand with the ring on it, grinning broadly.

"Yeah!" Brooklyn said, doing a little happy dance. "It was SO romantic! He blindfolded me and took me to the spot by the river where we had our first kiss! Then he said 'Brooklyn, the first time I saw you, I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. And I can't explain it, but somehow I knew you were the one.' and then he took out the ring and proposed!" She let out another involuntary squeal even louder this time.

Tellie jumped up and ran over, examining the ring. "Oh my gosh! Brooklyn! I'm so happy for you!" She threw her arms around Brooklyn's neck in a little hug, not even wincing at Brooklyn's ear-shattering squeals.
