I let out an audible gasp as we walked inside the doors of the Dubois restaurant. It. Was. Amazing.

The Eiffel Tower was basically a stone's throw away from the restaurant, giving us a full-frontal view. The city lights twinkled below us and the night sky shone - with a few dark clouds I must admit - but they shone hopefully in my favour tonight.

"I can't believe you right now!" I gushed at Austin. He did such a good job. He'd always been so kind to me.

"Only the best for my girl," he winked, pulling a seat back for me to sit in. "I'm going to get the waiter, I've already organised the meals."

I nodded as he walked away to get our food. Waiting for Austin, I stared out at the landmark beside me, only a few metres away. It was breathtaking. Elegant silverware and posh-looking waiters were scattered everywhere, and the food on other people's plates looked like it costed more than my college tuition.

Austin really treated me like royalty. When I'm with him, I smile, laugh and have a great time. With Finn...we always fought. The constant teasing, back and forth...why would I want that?

ARGH!

I really wished Vienna didn't say anything to me beforehand. She got me stumped. What do I say when he asks those four little words?

That's it! I thought, a light bulb switching on in my head. I'll just tell him I'm not feeling too well. That'll give me more time to think, and-

"Oh my god!" I gasped as Austin returned with a waiter, both men wearing wide grins. The waiter carried two plates of gourmet, delicious looking food. My eyes never left the plate as the waiter placed the food in front of me. Am I salivating? I hope not. This looks too good to drool on.

The waiter poured champagne into our flutes, and Austin raised his in triumph. "Let's make a toast." He declared. I raised my glass. "To young love."

"To young love." I repeated, sipping from the glass.

Vienna dragged Tori into the living room of the Le Cygne penthouse, where Theo and Ashley were standing.

"Listen Tor, Theo here's been retaining information, and it's pretty important."

Tori looked at her cousin in confusion. Not another one of her crazy, delusional plans. "What?"

"Finn likes Sophia!" she squealed.

"Theo saw Finn kissing Sophia while she was sleeping in the hospital." Ashley elaborated, breathlessly.
