They start questioning her parents and explaining the situation they are in. It sounds pretty much like a straight death row and Mae knows it too. I feel bad watching her realize this, though I think she's known all along. When we leave that room she feels defeated so back in the hotel room I... put together a fun activity while she naps. Just something small to brighten her day.

"Hi room service please?" I say to the phone, "yes two packs of ice cream and all the candy you can find. I'll pay in cash. Yes thank you." I hang up and get out the bowls and spoons. When room service arrives I pay them and quietly set everything up. "Mae!" I call a couple minutes later.

"Yeah one sec!" she says. When she walks in her mouth gapes and she smiles at me. "Griffin you didn't! What is this for?"

"Just a little pick me up after today," I say, shrugging as Mae wrings her arm around my neck.

"Well thank you," she says kissing me. Soon after we start making our ice cream sundaes and it gets pretty messy when we get to the whipped cream. It started with me putting a bit on Mae's nose but then our competitive spirit arose and we... well we cover the kitchen.

"You know we have to clean this!" I exclaim laughing after we finish the ice cream. Mae shrugs. She seems happy and I love her even more when she's happy.

"Well then we'll clean it up!" she exclaims, "and I bet I'll do better at cleaning up than you will!" she yells running off to get cleaning supplies. Let's just say everything becomes a competition, but I have to say our competitions are more fun than doing it normally. As we clean up we play music and dance around and it gets all soapy and then... it gets more messy. It takes almost an hour to clean up the mess that only took 20 minutes to make. By the time we are finished we are both tired out for the night and flunked down on the bed. Happy. The two of us. God I love this girl. She's perfect. Absolutely perfect.

The next morning I wake up before the alarm and watch Mae sleep. It sounds creepy, yet it's so peaceful. Her face when she sleeps. It has no worries, it's so... pure. She looks like an angel. I just love seeing her like that.

"Morning beautiful," I say as she starts to stir. She throws a pillow over her head. "It's time to get up..." I stroke her auburn locks smiling as she tries to avoid getting out of bed.

"No it's not," she mumbles, "It's only..." she looks at the clock beside our bed, "oh god, it is time to get up!" She throws the pillow and the wall and it takes a full 6 and a half minutes until she gets up. We have to catch the plane in 5 hours but we have a long cab ride first. The hours pass quickly and we both sleep through most of it. When we get back, I settle on a decision. Something I've known for a long time, but have been waiting for the right moment. Now, well not now, but in a few days, I'm going to do it. Because now is the right time. After Mae being kidnapped I realized something I hadn't known before. I've always known that I want to stay with Mae forever. I've always known I have and always will love her. I've known that I want to marry her one day. And I know that we are young and have only been together for 7 months. Now, after everything that happens, I know that life changes in an instant. And what's the point in spending more time not married to the person I love. So it's decided. As of now. I will plan the best proposal anyone has ever seen. Because that's what Mae deserves. The perfect proposal for the perfect girl. I'm going to marry her.

The plans will take a couple days as I plan to make this perfect. Everything down to the last detail will be accounted for. I call Mack and Lucas with the plan. I'm going to need some help with aspects of it, and well, who better to trust than my best friends. First thing first is the location of the proposal. It was too hard to choose one so I chose several. 9 to be specific. All of our favourite places here in Miami. All the places that mean something to us and hold memories. I work towards planning it for days and I think we'll have to start everything at the beginning of the day. I have everything planned for everything to happen on 14th. It gives me enough time to plan, but it's not too long. I have Mack in charge of getting Mae ready without her knowing so they have a bunch of girly self care things planned. I really don't want Mae to catch on so I try to be super discreet with everything. First up of course is getting a ring.
