Jasmine's POV

I sit Maddie down on the floor so I could get ready. I pull on a black sweater and gold skirt along with a bracelet to match the skirt and some leather boots. (The picture above) I put my hair partially in a braid and the rest down.

I didn't think it'd be a super fancy dinner. Anthony and I have gone on plenty of dates, so I didn't expect anything different.

I walk out of my closet to see Pippa there. "Thank you so much for taking care of Maddie while me and Anthony are out." I say while putting on my makeup. "No problem! I hope you guys have fun.

"What's up?" I ask, trying to be casual without sounding worried.

"Um..." He gets up from his chair and down on one knee.

With all anxiousness aside, Anthony says, "Jasmine Cephas Jones, will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?"

Everyone in the restaurant's eyes fall on us as they await my reply.
