Adam and I went upstairs had a shower and got dressed for breakfast. We went over and sat with Lucy and Tom, they were already half way through their breakfast. 'where were you two this morning?' 'we went for an early morning swim.' I replied, Adam came back from the buffet with two breakfasts, 'oh, thank you.' I cried. He just smiled. The rest of the day past in a blur, Adam told me that we were having dinner with Tom and Lucy, so I slipped into a little red dress and put on my heels from last night, last but not least I secured my butterfly necklace around my neck. Adam said he was meeting me there. I slipped into the restaurant and they lead me outside, it was a beautiful garden with olive trees and rose trees surrounding it there were only three tables in the whole thing. Adam was sitting at the middle one. 'where are Lucy and Tom?' I asked while sitting down. 'they just called and said they couldn't come, Tom felt unwell.' Adam replied For the starter I had a lovely goats cheese salad and for my main course I chose chicken wrapped in pancetta with a white wine sauce. I excused myself and went to the toilet, I redid my lipstick and used the toilet. Then as I made my way back through the restaurant I notice that everyone was watching me and smiling. I stepped out into the garden and the couples that were either side of us were no longer there. Instead there were thousands of tiny tea lights covering the floor, each little flame quivering, it made the garden look magical. I looked at Adam and he smiled and looked down quickly. He walked over to me and said, 'Abby I know we still very young, but I love you and I want to be with you forever. I never want to be with anyone else or to see you with anyone else. I want to have kids with you and grow old with you...' he sunk to one knee and brought out a small ring box, 'Abby will you marry me?'
