[ in the office] 

Reece turns and looks at charlotte as Marjorie dances away out the office singing to herself and looks around to make sure no one hears

 "wanna know a secret"  

charlotte then quickly turns to him with no hesitation she says 

"always"

Reece then gives a little smile and says 

"I'm going to ask Marjorie to marry me" 

charlotte gives a gasp and smiles 

"SERIOUSLY" 

she says with an excited tone as she gives Reece a massive hug tearing up a little

 "I'm so happy for you both Marjorie is going to be over the moon she really does love you"

Reece gives a teeny little smile and replies 

"she is truly the love of my life char and i want to spend the rest of my life with her"

charlotte smiles and asks 

"so how do you plan on asking her you want to make it special don't you"

Reece then looks at her and thinks 

"well you know that weekend in Paris she hinted to me the other week well i was thinking there!! over a nice candle lit dinner in the sunset at the Eiffel tower she's always wanted to go since she was young so i thought it would be the perfect opportunity" 

charlotte stands there in complete shock as Reece looks at her concerned

"char you okay you look like your going to burst into tears" Reece asked smiling 

charlotte gives a smile back at him tearing up 

"i- I'm going to go before i cry at how cute you two are i still cant believe this is happening"

Reece chuckles a little as charlotte walks out 



[in the corridor] 

Marjorie walks up as char is crying walking back to the preschool room 

" charlotte....you alright my love" Marjorie asks concerned 

charlotte then looked up and gasps wiping her tears

"o-oh y-yeah yeah I'm fine..."

Marjorie looks at charlotte not convinced

"you look like you've been crying is everything okay"

charlotte looks at Marjorie nervously thinking of something to say to throw her off the scent

"i- i just miss Mia that's all i haven't seen her in a while" charlotte replied

Marjorie looks at her not convinced at all but decides to leave it

"well as long as your okay my love I'm sure you will see her soon"

charlotte nods walking away quickly feeling so guilty about keeping such a big secret from Marjorie but thinks about how over the moon she will be 

Marjorie watches her confused as she walks away then walks back to the office noticing Reece in there writing up an annual leave form

"erm what's going on.....who's that for?" she looks at Reece confused
