They stayed at the function just long enough so as not to appear rude then after Ronni's secretary called him with the prearranged excuse that he was needed elsewhere they were able to extricate themselves from the monotonous ramblings of old money.

Getting out of there quickly they waited for the valet to bring the car to the entrance and he added that a woman had left a package for him at the door, it was a medium sized, gift wrapped parcel with a card on top, bless his secretary she deserved a raise too.

Ronni took the gift and card and placed them on the back seat of the car before walking around to get the door for Hiro who slid into the passenger seat then sat quietly waiting until Ronni slid behind the wheel of the car.

He keyed in the address of the venue to his GPS then proceeded to transport them both as he weaved effortlessly through the busy traffic.

"I wonder what Miss Anunan bought for Monica?" Hiro asked.

"I'm guessing they're about the same age so I just asked her to purchase something that she would like as an engagement gift" Ronni replied.

They arrived at the venue and parked up and Ronni helped Hiro out of the car then retrieved the gift and carried it balanced on one hand while he placed his other on Hiro's back as they walked towards the entrance.

A door man saw them approaching and held the door open for them and they both walked through to see Monica's party in full swing then the girl in question looked up and came rushing across the room to welcome them.

"Hiro, you made it, hello cutie and Ronni, is it ok to call you Ronni? I remember you from school" Monica beamed.

"Hi Monica, is it ok to call you Monica?" Ronni laughed.

"sure is, any friend of Hiro's is a friend of mine"

"well friend, here is a small gift, congratulations" Ronni smiled.

"oh wow, can I open it now?" she asked already tearing the wrapping off.

"shouldn't you wait for your fiancé?" Hiro laughed.

"I should shouldn't I" Monica paused for a moment as if in thought then continued to tear at the gift wrap.

The package revealed a very expensive bottle of champagne and two crystal champagne flutes and there was an envelope beside them. Monica picked up the envelope and looked at both Ronni and Hiro as she fed her well manicured fingers inside the folds of paper to pull out a ...

"this is a booking confirmation, a whole week at the Sunrise Stables and Holiday Cottages with all expenses paid" she squealed and did a few jumps up and down before reading the enclosed note out loud ...

"for when the wedding planning becomes too stressful, with love from Hiro & Ronni" she crooned.

"do you like it?" Ronni asked.

"it's perfect, absolutely perfect, just wait until I show my fiancé"

Monica placed the gift down carefully before opening the card,

"congratulations on your engagement, with love from Hiro & Ronni" she smiled.

"congratulations babes" Hiro said.

"thank you, both of you, let me get you both a drink and put this where no one can break it" Monica said lifting the champagne and glasses.

"here, allow me" Ronni said taking the box from her and following as she hooked her arm through Hiro's and began whispering.

"he's a keeper babe and you never told me how handsome he was"

"wait, we're not ..."

"but the cards?" Monica replied.
