Molly turned the corner with a very suspect smile on her face and both of her arms behind her back, she crept into the room with her loose floral dress flowing behind her in the warm breeze

"What did you do?" You asked her, aware of her love for mischief and the occasional practical joke.

"Nothing like that, you always think that I've done something or broken something. Can you never presume that I've don't something nice for you?" She brought her arms forward, concealing a small chocolate egg in her hand. "Happy Easter!" She proclaimed proudly.

"I thought we weren't getting each other anything this year?" She shrugged your concerns away and pushed the egg into your hands.

"It's just an egg, don't worry about it."

"I know it's only an egg... but I didn't get you anything so now I feel bad. I'll have to get you one tomorrow or something."

"No, you won't! Just share that one I don't mind, honestly." She opened the box that the egg sat in as clearly you weren't doing it quickly enough for her and tossed the empty packet to the side.

"Are you sure?" She sighed and moved your hand onto the foil, tucking your thumb under one of the little flaps that had opened in the shiny wrapping.

"Yes, I'm sure Y/N. I'm sure if you open it now and give me some. I'm dying for something sweet." You half expected her to rip the egg from your hands and swallow it whole, foil and all.

"Oh, so I'm not good enough now?" You asked jokingly whilst peeling back the colourful foil as she waited in deep anticipation. Your hands wrapped around the chocolate and your thumbs cracked the shell but stopped at a small object that sat inside.

Molly took the egg from under your hands and set it down to one side, the chocolate had been replaced by a small box and Molly had swept her spring dress out from underneath her in order to kneel.

"This is a little bit more than an egg?" Your voice trembled and the both of you struggled to hold back tears.

"I'm sorry." She smiled wider than you had ever seen and pulled the lid of the box back to reveal a modest ring.

"I'm going to get you back for this, you realise that don't you?"

"And how exactly do you propose to do that?"

"By saying yes."
