We arrive at Marina's one of my favorite Italian restaurants. Everyone was there. Some of the force, Harmony with her bright smile and wait.....Why do I see my family and Johnathan's Mother in here? Okay, what does he have up his sleeves? Immediately my parents come to embrace me and I'm like what is going on.

"Hi, mom! Hi Dad! What's going on? Why are y'all here?" And then I turn around and see my brothers and sisters, and I am in total shock.

"May I please have everyone's attention," Jonathan said. I turn around and he is glowing with excitement.

"We are delighted that you all have come to help us celebrate our first year together. Trust me when I say that this woman has made me the happiest person alive."

My mother squeezes my hand as she sees tears form in my eyes. This has only been one year but.....He gets on his knee and I almost pass out.

"Mr.& Mrs. Carter with your permission I would love to make this moment last forever".

Dad says "It would be my pleasure!"

I still can't move and before I know it, he said the four words in every woman's dream...."Will you marry me?"

"Of course I will!" I say while shaking with a river of tears streaming from my eyes. I'm going to be Mrs. Jonathan Sanchez. I can't let him go because I have to make sure I'm not dreaming.

"I love you, Detective Sanchez"

"Not as much as I love you District Attorney Carter"

We both laugh and turn to receive our congratulations from the crowd.

Of course, the first person to greet me over my family was the one and only Harmony.

"O My God girl." and we both started screaming and jumping up and down like two little girls.

"Ok, so I have a wedding to plan. I've gone from Administrative Assistant to a wedding planner. You know I'm yo girl and I got you." Now does he have a brother? Hell, I'll even date his sister if she looks as good as him!"

"H A R M O N Y!!!!"

"What! Girl Real is Real!" We both laugh and take a seat at the table.

Jonathan is talking to my brothers, and my father as my sister Joseline comes over and join mom and me. We're both so excited, and she and Harmony automatically take over the role of my wedding planners.

Jonathan and my father hit it off immediately. I think they bonded more when dad found out that Jonathan's dad died in the line of duty. Both of our mothers clicked because they have so much in common. They both loved to cook so they're forever sharing recipes. It was still so unreal that I was going to marry the man of my dreams. Nothing could go wrong. At least that's what I told myself. I was beyond happy.

We all sat down to eat and spent the rest of the night just laughing and not letting a worry in the world get to us. I will mark this down as the best day of my life.

-----I know it's short but it's just the proposal. No need to dwell on that. Now we're off to the wedding and the rest of the characters. Remember we still have a case to solve. Vote, Like, and Comment!! Can't read your mind so talk to me!! Love you all...-
