I quickly arrive at the restaurant. I look through the window of my car and I spot Jake and Jennifer talking and eating their dinner. I get out of my car and approach the front door. I flash my police badge at the usher and he lets me through.
I walk up to the table where Jake and Jennifer are sitting.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your dinner date, but---"
"Laura, what are you doing here?" Jake asks.
"Jake, I need to talk to you."
"Can't it wait? I'm kind of in the middle of something."
"No. Now."
Jake looks back at Jennifer. "Excuse me for a minute." He gets up and follows me to the back room of the restaurant.
"What is so important that you need to talk to me about? Is something wrong?"
"Yeah, something's wrong. I don't like that you are with Jennifer."
"What?!" Jake asks in shock.
"And guess what?" I continue. "Billy told me everything that you planned tonight. He says sorry in advance. But never mind that. What matters is what I came to say and that is this: I am still in love with you."
Jake looks at me in shock.
"Well, its kind of a little too late now."
"I don't care. I regret getting a divorce from you. Jake, I love you."
I then pull his head towards me and meet my lips with his. His kiss was the same as I remember it: soft and full of love. I was surprised that he didn't try to pull away from me. I had finally let go of him and he stared at me.
That was when Jennifer had walked in the room.
"What's going on? Is everything alright?"
I then noticed the ring that was on her left hand. Jake already proposed to Jennifer. I was too late.
