Robyn's P.O.V.
"Thank you!" I smiled at the girl behind the counter, as she handed me my coffee. Leaving the coffee shop, I wrapped my scarf tighter around my neck and began walking to work. It was in the middle of February, and it was so cold! Snow covered most of the ground, making it slippery to walk on, and icicles hung dangerously on window ledges above. Snowflakes flew in clusters around my head, causing me to bury it more into my scarf and walk faster. Clutching my coffee to my chest in an effort to warm myself, I exhaled deeply. A cloud of frosty mist escaped through my mouth as I breathed heavily from the cold, but I didn't mind. I loved the cold, and so did Thomas. Whenever it had snowed in the past, we'd always run outside and have a snowball fight, which normally ended up in him tackling me to the ground. I would laugh as he chuckled quietly, and then he'd always kiss me lightly on the nose.

I grinned at the thought of it, twitching my nose a little as if I could still feel his cold lips on it. I can't believe it's been seven months since he proposed to me last summer. Memories began flooding into my mind as I sipped at my coffee.

"Will you marry me?" Thomas asked, kneeling down with one knee in the ocean. In his hands was a small black box, and inside was a diamond ring. My hands were pressed over my mouth, and tears brimmed in my eyes, which were wide with excitement.

"Yes! Oh Tommy yes yes yes!" I squealed, throwing my arms around his neck. I soon released him from my tight embrace so he could stand up, and Thomas then took my hand in his and placed the ring on my finger. It was beautiful. The diamond was only small, which I liked, seeing as I didn't like to bring attention to myself, and it sparkled in the moonlight. It was perfect.

I took my gaze off of the ring and looked up at Thomas. He grinned at me.

"I love you so much!" He smiled, wrapping his arms round my waist.

"I love you too!" I whispered, as he leaned in to kiss me. Our lips pressed together and they fit perfectly. They moved in slow sync, and I giggled as Thomas tickled my sides slightly. I began tangling my fingers in his hair, as he pulled me closer to his body. He cupped my face in his hands as he deepened the kiss, and I smiled. Pulling away, he grinned at me before he bent down and splashed me with water. Screaming, I put my hands in the sea and chucked a load of water at his head.

"Hey!" He laughed, but I didn't stop. He continued splashing me and my clothes became soaked. Turning and running towards the beach, I soon felt two strong arms pick me up around my waist, making me scream out a little from shock. Thomas turned me around to face him and lifting me up, twirled me around in the air. With his hands on my waist, and mine on his shoulders, I felt like Ariel at the end of The Little Mermaid! My hair flew around my face in the light breeze, and my skater skirt flapped around my middle. This was the best moment of my life.

A giant smile spread across my face as I remembered Thomas proposing to me. Glancing down at my hand, I rubbed a finger slightly over the ring on my finger. Oh I wished he was here with me now. Unfortunately, Thomas has been away for the last five months shooting for The Scorch Trials movie. Thomas had wanted me to go with him, but I decided not to, seeing as I had so much work to do for my job. After becoming the head animator and illustrator, my work load had tripled! It was fun, and I enjoyed it, but I still wish that I could have gone with him. Never mind, he'll be home in a couple weeks.

"What are you smiling at?" Georgie grinned as I opened the door to our studio. After my promotion, Georgie had been given my old job and the two of us now worked in a much larger studio that overlooked London. It was amazing.

"Oh nothing!" I smiled in return, as I set down my coffee and collapsed in my chair, "Bloody hell it's freezing outside!"

"Pfft, you're telling me!" Georgie huffed, "I couldn't get my car to start and Will took his car to go to work. So I had to walk, which took me about an hour, and now my boots are soaked through!" I laughed at her story.

"Ah well, you got here in the end!" I grinned, turning towards my workload that lay sprawled out on my desk. As I began working on an old illustration of mine, I reached for the radio and turned it on. Uptown Funk began playing through the speakers and I just randomly started laughing, when I remembered me and Thomas singing along to it on our way down to the West Country.

"Okay, you're laughing at something now! What is it?" Georgie laughed, as I began swaying my head and tapping my foot to the music.

"I just remembered me and Thomas singing along to this song once!" I laughed, making her laugh too.

"Okay now that, I would pay to see!" She giggled, dancing along to the beat too.
