One Month Later

"You're sure about this?"

Eric asked for the tenth time as Olivia handed her the papers.

"Yes, I'm sure"

She loves New York and it will always be part of her, but she missed Harlem. She missed her family there, her best friend, and the life Spencer and her were building. Spencer basically moved into her apartment, and they've spent the last month finding their way back again. He's been great, everything was great. After the second week, she knew she wanted to go home. They talked a lot, and she came to Eric with an proposal. He was now the face of Sugar Street Sweets in New York. Olivia was still an owner, just an silent one, that way, Eric could move forward with whatever he wanted, and she had enough money to stay afloat while her and Spencer figured out other things. She planned to open up an store in Harlem, after talking to Mrs. Riley. She hinted at wanting to retire, and Spencer and her both agreed that she was plotting for Olivia to take her place.

"I'm sad to see you go, but I don't think I'd stay either" He gave her an hug.

"He's worth taking the risk, you know?"

Olivia says, her eyes following Spencer standing in the bakery.

"I bet he is"

Olivia says the rest of her goodbyes to everyone else in the store. Her apartment was all packed, just like Spencers. He was on a month to month lease, which he failed to tell her about until two weeks ago. The good thing about that was since she lived in an desired area, his apartment sold pretty quickly. They had an contract on it the day it was listed, and the buyer pushed for an easy closure, which worked for Olivia in the end.

"We should do something fun before we go back"

She suggested as they walked arm in arm. She bundled up close to him as the weather had taken an turn for the worst. She could already smell the snow in the air.

"Like what?"

"I don't know, maybe take an drive up to the city. You've never been and I don't know when we'll be around again after this"

"That sounds nice" He agreed.

"Or we could go to Vegas instead"

"What?"

"Las Vegas, I've never been there before either"

She had no idea how they went from New York to Vegas. It made no sense.

"Those two aren't alike, Spencer" He laughed to himself at her comment.

"I know but it's easier to get married there" She stopped walking. Spencer went an few steps before turning back.

"Married?"

She was in disbelief. They just got back together after all the crazy and had been through an whirlwind.

"I know what your gonna say, but before you go into all of the excuses in your head, just answer this, do you love me?"

"Yes, of course I love you Spence, so much"

"As do I. Do you wanna be with anyone else?"

"No"

"Will you marry me?" Olivia's breath hitched, as he removed an ring from his pocket.

"I promised ma that when I found an girl I couldn't imagine living without and not waking up to each day that I'd put an ring on it. I had this whole big thing planned for how to ask you, but then we lost our baby. I've known I wanted you to be my wife since the first night I woke up with your body wrapped around mine. I thought we were crazy and, hey, maybe, we are, but I don't wanna sleep without you next to me. So,"
