Then, he had his answer.
“Well, then, we’re staying at your place.”
Now that they’d worked through that, as a couple, he could enjoy his night.
As they approached the location near the waterfall, Gabby was enjoying the sunset over the trees.
“It’s so pretty here.”
Oh, he agreed.
That was why he was going to do the deed. After two days, he was going to make the woman his, and then, they’d get hitched.

Hopping off Romeo, Finn helped her down. As he did, she leaned into him, and gave him a kiss.
Finn took that moment to enjoy it.
Why the hell not?
When she broke the kiss, she was smiling up at him, and Finn got lost in her eyes.

“Finn!”
He went down on one knee, popped the box open, and did the deed.
“Gabriella, will you be my wife?” he asked.
The tears that had filled her eyes at his words now began slipping down her face.
