Maggie Harris and Richard Maple are two thirtysomething antique dealers from London, who have been forced by financial problems, to join their two businesses. That was over a year ago and things are now on the up.

Maggie is in love with Richard and he is in love with her. The thing is, they both have trouble expressing it verbally. Those magical three little words, I love you, never seemed to make an appearance. 

Then one day they both got a separate email from one of their respective clients, asking each of them to attend a separate event in Florence, Italy.

Using this romantic city as a backdrop, Richard finally plucks up the courage to ask her to marry him? 

So, what is it stopping Maggie from saying 'Yes'?

"You have no idea how badly I want to make love to you," he responds with a shake of his head. "I love you so much," he continues and my heart melts. "I love you," I whisper back. "Okay, I'm going to make love to you now, Angel. It will hurt a little, so let me know if it hurts too much," he says and leans down to kiss me. "I'll be gentle," he tells me. Keeping his eyes locked on mine he shifts his hips forward slightly and enters inside of me. My mouth widens as he enters, and I feel a slight pinch. He was right, it does hurt, but it's not terrible. "Christ! You're the sun!" he calls out. I watch his face crumble. He buries his face in my neck and then he's above me again, his hands on my cheeks again. ... For 20 year old Alison Scott, love was never something she deemed herself worthy of.
