(Evelyn)

Zak had a plan. What the plan was, no clue. It includes me with a white dress and meeting him at dinner because he was running late. I slipped on the white dress Zak bought me for the date.

Zak said he was running late and he'd just meet me at the Paris Tower

Zak said he was running late and he'd just meet me at the Paris Tower. Zak was well known there and they took me right up to meet him. I was met by my hunny on our floor. Mr. Nicely Dressed Bagans was smiley, pearly whites everything.

"Hi baby

"Hi baby. Thanks for meeting me. Sorry, I got caught up at work. You look incredible in that dress." He said.

"I happen have a man with great taste that bought it for me." I say blushing.

A quick kiss and we sit down to eat. I look around at the view. No matter how long I live here, I'm never getting sick of the view. Zak couldn't seem to keep his eyes off of me through dinner. Since it was a night out, we took all our time admiring the view.

"I got access to the highest deck they allow, you wanna go?" He asked

"I got access to the highest deck they allow, you wanna go?" He asked.

I nodded and we quickly got in to the elevator. Upon arriving, I ran to the barrier and lost myself in the view. Lost myself in the thoughts of where my life has gone over the last six years. I lost myself in thought and didn't hear Zak walk away.

"Evelyn! Baby, look at this view! You can kind of see the museum."

I walked over to the other side of the deck where he was standing in a rose petal heart with candles.

"What is this?" I ask as he grabs my hand.

"E. Ev. Evie. It's been a long time since it's just been you and I. It's been a wild 5 years and I wouldn't take it back at all. Do you remember the 1st year we spent together?" I shook my head.

"Do you remember the night I met my son for the first time, at my place? I remember that day like it was yesterday. I remember you looked just as beautiful as you did when we very first met. You were blonde then, I like the brunette better. I remember pacing the floor waiting for your car to pull in. I remember wanting to peek in the carrier, have a look at my son. Seeing you with him cuddled in your chest at only a few months old. I knew that day I never wanted to live a day without you. That love and thought has been validated several times over the last 5 years. I know you didn't get the white wedding you planned but that day was ours. Still is. I know than somewhere inside you wish you would've had time to plan, me too. I know that it's five years later but..."

He took my hand and proceeded to get down on one knee.

"Will you, Evelyn Rae Hadley, do me, Zachary Alexander Bagans, the honor of becoming Mrs Evelyn Rae Bagans again? Planned wedding, large guest list, white dress and everything this time?" He opened the red box in hand.

"YES YES YES! Oh Zachary!?!" I said jumping up and down. I pulled him up and kissed him passionately.

He slid the ring on my finger. "I created this ring custom unique just for you."

He kissed my hand just as he did the day we met

He kissed my hand just as he did the day we met.

We were met with applause and only then did I realize our family, the guys and our parents were there as well as our museum employees .

I held on to Zak and couldn't wait to get planning.
