“I’m not mrs anything.” I say and he adds, “Yet.”
I haven’t even had time to think about the impending proposal, it’s been weeks since Bianca let it slip and still nothing has happened. I’m beginning to think she might have heard wrong.
“It doesn’t matter. Today is all about Luca. Holy shit, how exciting is this?”
“Um, Evie honey, you’re going to be married to a senator, you cannot use words like shit anymore.”
“Oh right. Okay what’s the sophisticated word for shit?”
I stand there and Ryan seems to think it through.
“Goodness? My my? Oh dear?”
We laugh and laugh and everything is right with the world.

My door bellringing the next Saturday makes me pause my music. Just when I was really getting into it the blank space vibe, Taylor swift really is the moment.
I open the door and i see Bianca standing there.
“Hey Evie” she says and I smile at her.
“Hey Bianca. Are you here alone? Is your dad here?”
“Nope it’s just me.” She said what?
How did she come here all alone?
“How are you here all by yourself? I ask and she rolls her eyes dramatically.
“Im almost seven” she says and I shake my head.
“That’s not the iron clad argument you think it is honey”
“your house isn’t very far away. Ms Jasmine dropped me off at the corner.”
“And she didn’t wait?”
“I told her I’d go home with you. Can we go to the coffee shop? Troy said he would give me a free cheese cake the next time I came by.”
I laugh and ruffle her hair.
“Okay sweetie, just give me a mi the to change.”
I change into a baggy jean and I’m doing the buttons when it occurs to me.
Holy shit. This is it. Luca is going to propose. Bianca was definitely trying to get me to the café.
I quickly wiggle out of the jeans and change into a floral wrap dress instead.
I can’t stop thinking on the short walk to the café, how is he going to do it? With flowers? A live band? A chopper? The curiosity is killing me and I can barely keep my smile off my face. Bianca was trying so hard to look neutral and I wasn’t going to blow this.
We step into the café and it is dark.
Okay, this is happening.
Then the most beautiful thing happens.
