Claire & Theo

28.

"Great movement, Claire. Give me a smoldering gaze, yes!" Claire's photographer shouted with excitement.

Claire kept posing with confidence, since she was feeling great today. She was loving herself better these days, the positive days were coming forward with her. She would want to thank herself first for the bravery, but it was also a fact of her therapist.

Ever since the two years of Claire and Theo being officially together, they have been attending therapy sessions to make sure that they stay in a healthy relationship forever. Yet, she still could not believe that she was in a great relationship with Theodore Easton.

It was clearly delightful.

These past two years went by so fast that Claire never had the time to feel as if she was a burden to Theo, since he always proved his love to her every day.

He called her this morning to dress up nicely after work because they were going out for dinner. Which she found odd of him to do, since they always preferred comfortable dates at home or at the arcade. They liked simple things, so it felt quite different.

"That's it for today, thanks! I'll send in the pictures by next week once they're finally edited."

"Take your time, Charlie. See you next time!" She ran out of the studio quickly.

As she went down the elevator, she got a call from her boyfriend, "Hey, love, I'm waiting for you downstairs. Just wanted to let you know."

"I'm almost there... oh! I see you." she waved at him when the elevator finally placed.

He noticed her too and gave her a knowing smile. The love was always there between them, this felt too good to be true.

She hooked her arm around his arm bringing him closer to her, "Where are we going to eat for us to dress this fancy?"

"Somewhere... nice. You'll love it, I promise." he said.

"This feels suspicious, Mr. Easton." with sarcasm dripping in her voice.

"Don't worry."

Theo drove them to a tall building which seemed like the company. StarThrill Entertainment looked quite different at night with all the lights making it sparkle. Apparently, Theo put a lot of effort into making this business. It was one of the accomplishments that he's proud of, but he's even more proud of being in a relationship with the one he loves, Claire.

"Come on." He held her hand as they left the car locked.

They went up the elevator quietly. Somehow, Claire was not able to calm her nerves, everything just seemed surreal in that moment.

He took her up to the top of the building and everything was so... pretty. There were candles everywhere making the scenery smell better with all the lights hung up. Rose petals were spread beautifully on the ground surrounding the table in the middle of the area.

He brought her closer to the table, "I know that you're probably hungry, but I don't think I can keep myself waiting any longer."

"Go on, what's bugging your mind."

Claire was erupting with butterflies.

"Claire Young... I know I am imperfect with many flaws upon me. But I will respect every thought of yours to be with you. I can't imagine my life without you... I love you... so, in that case, will you my beloved, marry me." Theo was nervously trying to hold himself together.

This was it. This was their moment, and she would make it last forever. There was no other way to make this happen but by saying the one word to agree to the life of sacred love.

"Yes"

This was going to be enchanting.
