he flashed
down the contents making Meg raise an eyebrow. “Wow,” she
muttered under her breath.
    “ So,
how about I bring her here?” Steven asked. “This is where
we first had an informal meeting.”
    “ What
do you mean?” Dana asked.
    “ This
is where I brought her when we first met…you know, when she
was helping me with my listings?” Steven asked.
    “ Wasn’t
that a formal meeting?” Dana asked.
    “ Yeah,
but I think this just became our place over time,” he gned.rin
    “ Wow,
next you will tell me that you guys have a song,” Meg laughed.
Steven smiled at her. “Oh my God, you already have a song.
Don’t you?” she asked. Steven laughed and shook his head.
    “ No,
we don’t. We’re not that…Notebook,” he said.
    “ You
know about The Notebook? You are the ideal man,” Dana said.
    “ I
only know it because I was forced to sit through the ordeal. Twice,”
he joked.
    “ I
like the restaurant idea. It sounds nice and romantic,” Dana
said. “And it’s a good cliché too.”
    “ Yeah
firsts are a big deal. Nice call there, Davenport,” Meg winked
before she took another bite of her food. She looked at Steven and
smiled. “So, what else do you have in mind? Put the ring in her
champagne?”
    “ I
don’t know why people never see the health hazard associated
with that,” Meg said shaking her head. “Not in her wine,
please, not in her wine,” she said as she looked at Steven who
smiled.
    “ Maybe
I can just wine and dine her and then have the ring inside her
dessert,” he suggested. “She loves the chocolate soufflés
here. So maybe I’ll go with that,” he added. “Don’t
worry it will be at the very bottom so she might feel it against the
bowl.”. Dana looked at Meg and smiled.
    “ You
know I fail to understand why you are stressing over this. Trust me,
you got this,” she said. Steven looked at Meg, who was busy
chewing on a piece of sirloin.
    “ Yeah,
what she said,” Meg said with her mouth full.

    When
Steven went back to the office, he wanted to call Julie but he
decided not to and opened his email.
    To:
Julie Parker
    From:
Steven Davenport
    Subject:
DINNER ON THURSDAY
    Hey
honey. Just thought I would check up on you and see how your day is
coming along. Listen, I was thinking it’s been a while since we
had some time to ourselves. You know, quality time. So I thought we
could take some time and have dinner at Amelia’s on Thursday.
What do you think?
    He
clicked send and then looked at his computer screen just as a new
email came in. His heart was beating hard in his chest as he looked
at the new email, but he soon felt the excitement die down when he
saw that it was one of the email forwards from his sister. Just then,
it hit him. His sister. That was the one person in his family he
wanted to tell. He picked up his phone and dialed him.
    “ Hey
big brother,” she greeted when she picked up. “Watched
the video already?”
    “ Hey
there little sister. No, I haven’t watched it. I just wanted to
say hi. What have you been up to lately?” he asked with a
smile.
    “ Nothing
much. I just got home actually. It was Katrina’s birthday
today,” she said.
    “ Had
fun?” Steven asked with a smile.
    “ More
than it was appropriate for a sixteen year old’s birthday
party,” she laughed. “So, what’s up with you?”
    “ I
need to tell you something. But you can’t tell anyone else.
Especially not mother,” Steven said. There was a long silence
before he heard his sister’s excited squeal.
    “ You
are popping the question. Aren’t you?” Steven smiled and
nodded as if he could see her.
    “ Yes,
I am,” Steven said.
    “ Oh
Stevie. I’m so happy for you,” she shrieked. “When
are you doing it?”
    “ Thursday
night over dinner,” he explained. He pulled his phone away from
his ear when his sister squealed again. “Listen, I have to go,
but we’ll talk soon. Okay? I love you,” he said before he
hung up when he saw Julie’s reply. He
