Hilary:

When we arrived at Paulo's, there was a little table in the corner by the edge of the patio that had two candles and a red rosé in the centre.

"Aw des. You didn't hav to do this" I giggled and snuggled into his chest, then kissed him on the cheek.

"I wanted to make it special." He chuckled and pulled out my chair for me.

-----------

Over dinner I realized Just how much I wanted to hold onto him. I reached across the table and stroked his hair, always perfectly in place.

He was a dream, I'd convince myself. There was no way he could love me the way I loved him.

-----------

Destery:

There was no way she loved me the way I loved her.

Her smile, her overall perfect personality. She was breathtaking. Not to mention (not to sound overly sexist) that she was such a sweetheart that she would wait on me hand and foot. I didn't Always let her, though. She was special to me, special enough that she didn't have to do any of that, because I was prepared to do anything for her.

--------------

I woke up lying next to her. Her lace dress was folded on the chair and her curled up do was now a loose ponytail. Even casually she was the most beautiful person.

I leaned over her and kissed her lips. She opened her eyes and grabbed my face and kissed me again.

Just as Cassidy rushed through the door.

"Sorry." She said, sounding rehearsed.

"Cassidy what are you doing in here." I asked.

"I figured you were next door. I was looking for my uh necklace."

"Why would your necklace be in Desterys room?" Hilary asked, sitting up in bed, looking perplexed.

"I don't know."

From the other room we heard Nathan.

"Cassidy, don't bother putting the ring back right now, wait. They'll probably be back soon."

Just then I noticed her right fist was clenched tight.

"CASSIDY. WHAT THE FUCK. WHY DO YOU HAVE THAT". I screamed. Getting up from the bed and grabbing the small blue box from her hand.

"I wasn't going to take it." She said in defense, yelling back, slightly annoyed.

"FUCK. YOU RUINED THIS FOR ME. YOU RUINED THIS FOR BOTH OF US. GET THE FUCK OUT OF THIS APARTMENT."
