•Song: Savin' Me By Nickelback
//Halloween night John takes Sally out on a date.//
"Where are you taking me?" Sally shifted uncomfortable in the passenger's seat.
"Somewhere special." John smiled. "I promise you'll love it."
. . .
"Where ar-Oh my God." Sally gasped at the sight when John pulled into a small park: A table with red satin cloth and food covering it, sat on the freshly cut grass.
Before they even exited the vehicle Sally was in tears. She turned to John, and pulled him in for a long searing kiss. After she rushed out of the car and to the table. She sat down and he joined her. The table was by a lake that reflected the moonlight perfectly. There were no kids. Just her and him. Together. She wiped her eyes when he kissed her on the cheek before sitting across from her. He slid out a match box and grabbed out the only match it contained. He lit it and slowly put it to the white candle making the night even more romantic. She felt tears come into her eyes again but she held them back and bit her lip. He slid his hand across the table and grabbed hers. She felt him messing with one of her fingers. When he let her hand go there was a diamond ring on her ring finger. She looked up at him in surprise but he was already on one knee. She didn't hold back the tears this time. They spilled onto her black pantyhose making that part darker than the other.
"Sally.." He began. "We may not be able to get married to one another and this may not be a good idea." Sally was taken back. A bad idea? "But I don't care. I love you. And I would do anything for you. If you asked for a star I would go and get one." He caught his breath almost crying. "If you told me to jump I would ask you how high? And Sally I could not do this without you. You are my star. I don't even need to ask for one. Because I have you. This is a token of my love. A marriage ring although we can't get married. It will show that I wish we could. And how much I love you." He grabbed her hand and kissed it. Tears were still falling from her eyes when he did. She put her hand to her mouth.
"I love you John." She fell onto the ground with him and held on to his neck. He whispered sweet nothings into her ear until they were forced to return back to the Hotel Cortez. Where they would spend eternity.. But at least they would be spending it together.
