Tim's pov:

Tim) "I can't wait to marry you either someday."

Lucy smiles at me and we enjoy each other's company as I drop her off at her apartment for the night. ——————————————————

A week passes Lucy's pov:

I'm sitting down on my bed all dressed up from going to a wedding of an old highschool friends and debating if I wanna take a bath before I hit the hay. Bzzzz bzzzz Oh! Tim is calling me. I pick up

Tim] "Hey Luce. How's it going?" Lucy] "Oh y'know just doing nightly contemplating" I chuckled

Lucy] "It's good to hear your voice.." Tim] "Back at you... Hey Gray called me a minute ago and said we're needed at the station in roll call room? I'm not sure why but it seemed important, meet you there?"

Lucy] "I haven't had time to change from the wedding but sure." Tim] "It's no problem, I don't think we have to take action. Bye love you." Lucy] "Love you too goof."

I hang up and smile Welp guess relaxing and taking a bath will have to wait.

I pull up to the station and walk in to the roll call room just to see what I never expected. Every furniture item had been cleared out of the room and it was just Tim in a suit and ...no Sgt Gray.... What is happening... ——————————————————

He's standing there smiling at me with his hands crossed and I look around the room and there's stringed lights everywhere, candles everywhere you look, flower petals everywhere and all the windows were blacked out so all the lights were even brighter and it looked like a starry beautiful night.

I was stunned

Lucy) "Tim?! What is all this?

He walks closer to me and grabs my hand

Tim) "Lucy you know I'm not the very sentimental type but..."

I look around the room Lucy) "You sure about that?"

He chuckles

Finally it clicks in my brain and the tears start to form in my eyes

Tim) "All this time I never knew that the one who was willing to wait an eternity for me was you. The one who made me a better man and encouraged me was you. The one who accepted me at my worst...it was you. The one who put up with all my anger and grumpiness was you... The one who loved me like no one did before was you. The one who went through so much so that we could be together was you. The one I never wanna live without is you and the one I will forever love is you...."

I stand there shaking, still holding his hand and crying some. He's literally the sweetest. He gets down on one knee and I put my hand over my mouth. He opens a box with the most beautiful ring I've ever seen.

Tim) "Lucy...will you do the honor of marrying me and becoming my wife?"

AHHHHhhhh it's really happening!!

Lucy) "Tim......

I see his face drop slightly ——————————————————

Lucy) "Of course Yes!"

His smile returned to his face and he held my face and kissed me. I hugged him and realized tears were now coming down his face.

He grabs the ring from the box and places it on my left ringfinger

It feels so weird seeing that there

I use that hand to wipe away his tears

Lucy) "I love you"

Tim) "I love you so much"

Lucy) "Thank you Tim... For all of this."

We both look around the room with an arm around each other

Tim and Lucy both) "Where we first met.."

We smiled at each other; not meaning to say the same thing at the same time.

I leaned my head against his shoulder

Lucy) "Where anything good in my life started.."

Tim leaned his head down to kiss me again

Tim) "The day my life truly began."

I smiled and squeezed his hand

Tim) "Wanna head to your place to hang out?"

Lucy) "That sounds amazing.. but how are we gonna tell our family?"

Tim smirked

Tim) " I think I know how."

I was confused until I walked out of the roll call room and saw all of my family facing towards me... All the people I love and all the people who care about me.

Sgt Gray, Angela, Wesley, Tamara, Aaron, Celina, John, Bailey, Nyla, James and more come towards me and give us a huge hug

All) "CONGRATULATIONS!!!!" Angela) "We are so excited for you guys!! Let me see that ring girl!" John) "So happy for you guys"

John and Sgt Gray pull Tim into a hug And Aaron, Celina, Tamara and the rest all gather around and we hang out and eat dinner.

Afterwards Tim drops me off at my apartment

I turn to him before I enter inside.

I look in his eyes and his eyes are glistening with Joy while a tear falls down mine.

Lucy) "There are no words to describe everything...I love you so much and today was perfect...thank you...I'm so glad I have the opportunity to be your fiancée and I can't wait to marry you..."

Tim) "Meeting you....Let's just say I owe everything to Gray for putting us together."

Tim chuckles

Tim kisses me and then leans his forehead against mine

Tim) "I love you...stay safe. Goodnight."

Lucy) "Right back at you, Goodnight love you." ——————————————————

The next few weeks were spent looking through wedding sites, flower arrangements, guests list and more.

Tim was sitting on my couch beside me while I was flipping through wedding books

I sighed

Lucy) "This. Is. Frustrating."

Tim looks up from his phone

Lucy) "Who knew it would be this hard? I just wanna be married to you."

Tim) "sounds good. Let's Elope."

Lucy) "I really just think I'm about done with planning and- Wait?? Elope? You'd be willing to do that?"

Tim) "Yeah...to be honest planning is stressful and if you're cool with it I'd rather elope and maybe throw a small celebration afterwards with friends or something. But I promise I'll do whatever for you."

Lucy) "I've never been into weddings. I say we elope.. the would be my first choice. How about you? Are you sure?"

Tim) "Elope it is. Sounds great. Just let me know when and where and I'll be there."

Tim says with a Chuckle and kisses the top of my head

Lucy) "Wow.. thank you Tim. This is honestly a big weight lifted off my shoulders."

Tim nodded his head

Lucy) "How's one month till we elope so December 7th, that way I have time to buy a few things and get the marriage license. And 4 or 5 months for celebration?"

Tim) "December 7th... That's all so perfect.."

Tim rubbed my arm and we talked over a few more details before he went home for the night.

The few minutes in-between Tim leaving and me getting ready for bed. I sat still on the couch rethinking on the amazing events that have happened recently and what's to come. And I looked out the window of my living room with city lights as far as you can see and I think and know...wow Life is good. ——————————————————
