"Actually," Henry says turning towards Alex,"I have one more surprise for you." And with that, the two of them climb into the car and Henry tells the driver where to go. Alex knows the place all too well.
30 minutes later, the two arrive at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The place that not only holds historic paintings, but memories. Memories of the night the two of them snuck in and Henry told Alex all
about his favorite pieces and they danced and kissed in between the dancing and I love you's.
This time, however, is different. Once Henry opens the door for Alex, there is a line of candles and rose petals on the floor. The candles light up a designated path to follow and there is a note on the floor, written in Henry's handwriting,
"You light up my life. Without you, I'm lost in the darkness. - Henry."
