There is so much to do before the grand opening of Leo & Calypso's Garage in three days. All of Leo's friends had been such a help, and they where on track for a successful day. Prior to the grand opening though, Leo new there was something he had to do. He pulled out the ring box, and placed the hand made ring inside. It had a gold band to match her favorite pair of earrings she always wore, and a delicate diamond from her cave on Ogygia rested on top. He then slipped the box into his pocket. ( he decided against wearing his tool belt ) Leo desperately needed her to say yes. She completed him. After years of feeling like an outsider, even among his own friends, she made him feel like he belonged, a feeling he had only ever felt before with his mother. 

Leo walked out to the moon lit garden, where he found her sitting on a swinging chair looking up at the stars.

" It's  beautiful, isn't  it, " She said, without moving her head.

" Yes it is, " he said smiling, not taking his eyes off her lovely face bathed in moonlight. " Would you like to go on a walk on the beach? " he asked, offering his arm.

" I would love to," she replied, finally looking down at him. She hopped off the chair and took his arm. " Lead the way, " she said, smiling.

They walked for a good fifteen minutes, before they stopped to sit on a fallen tree, and look out on the water.

" I have a question," Leo said nervously.

" Muhum " she hummed in reply.

Leo got down on one knee, and asked. " Will you, Calypso make me the happiest demigod alive and marry me? "

She started at him in shock for a second, but then tackled him in a hug.

" Of curse, stupid! "  She said kissing him. Leo smiled and kissed her back.
