Olivia and Rafael look at each other, just so much in love. The two break their trance when they see Lydia walking back over

"Hi guys. Are you ready to order?"

Rafael looks to Olivia

"Go ahead Liv."

He gives her a comforting smile reassuring her it's okay.

"I'll have the fettuccine with truffles."

"Excellent choice. That's my favorite dish."

Olivia smiles wide.

"And it comes with roasted broccoli. Is that okay?"

"Yes"

Lydia writes down Olivia's order and turns to Rafael

"And for you sir?"

"I'll have the ribeye, medium rare please."

"Alright and that comes with mashed potatoes is that alright?"

Rafael thinks for a second about what he told Liv earlier, that she could order whatever she wanted. His eyes flicker down to his stomach and back up at Liv who is now squeezing his hand lovingly. He turns back to Lydia

"Yeah that will be great."

"Excellent. I'll go put your orders in right now. Let me know if you need anything else."

Lydia walks away and Rafael smiles at Olivia

"I'm grateful to have a special woman like you in my life Olivia. You are incredibly beautiful inside and out. You are brave and resilient and a champion for the people you want to help. Words can't describe how wonderful you really are. You're my sun, moon, and all my stars. You are the colors in my life and you've made me the man I am today. Every day I get to spend with you is incredible and I love you." Rafael said.

"And I love you too Rafael. You have shown me what love really is. You are so patient and loving. You help me feel loved and appreciated when I don't feel it. You're like the warm sunshine on a dark day. You don't know how much you mean to me. You have a brilliant mind and a big heart. Don't ever change my love." Olivia said as she smiled.


Rafael was lost in thought that through it all, he and Olivia chose to be each other's soulmates. They had only been officially together for a week but it felt like forever with how much they truly loved each other. They built each other up and respected each other when one of them felt vulnerable. Their relationship was something truly amazing.

A minute later Lydia walks over with two plates of steaming hot plates of food.

"I hope I'm not interrupting."

"Not at all", Rafael says
