Donald's POV

"I don't know what to do." I buried my head into my arms on the tabletop. "You're her best friend! Help! ME!" I moaned into the wood.

Susanna laughs and rolls her eyes, "You Stamper boys. Such the dramatics." Then she winks. "It's all good though." She pats my back like I'm a whiny toddler.

"You mean you have an idea?!?" I say a bit too loud, gaining the stares of several customers in the coffee shop.

"Of course. Though more than an idea really." Susanna pulls a binder out of her large purse. "Girls discuss this sort of thing. We have both informed each other of dream proposals and all that just in case the man needs a little help."

I feel my shoulders relax. "So you'll help me then?"

"I'm not only going to help you, Donnie." Susanna flashes me a grin. "I'm going to film it too."

I don't know whether I should be excited or worried.... what have I gotten myself into?

Lynn's POV

Donald is acting funny tonight. I'm not sure why either. He keeps fumbling with his hands and glancing around like a nervous cat. A voice of doubt creeps in, and I know that it belongs to the enemy. The voice tells me this is going to be the break up talk. But I can't let myself think that way. If it happens, I'll get through it with my friends and God.

"So where are we headed?" I asked, trying to break the silence.

I can't help but think of how good he looks in his suit and tie. I'm wearing a plaid styled dress with some frill to it. About the only time I go very girly is with this outfit.

"The park." Donald said quietly, almost as if to himself. Very much unlike himself. Usually he has a big mouth. I mean literally. He can steal his brother's bowl of soup with a HUGE spoon and manage it. Or so he claims. Wait... I think he said something....

Up ahead I see the park and the bench where Joey and Susanna have had so many talks. I know cause she told me every time.

"Close your eyes." Donald whispers and covers my eyes with his hand.

"Donald?" I whisper his name like a question.

"Hold tight." He moves his hands. "Now open them!"

The excitement in his voice matches what flutters up inside of me. The lights are breath taking. They are everywhere and are shining so bright. Do I dare hope that this might be more than just a normal date?

We stroll through the lights and suddenly Donald bends down on one knee, and open ring box in hand. A pretty rings sparkles back at me, and reflects the lights around us. "Lynn Reese.... you stunned me from the first moment I saw you. I started falling and still haven't stopped. I don't think I ever will. I love you." He chokes up. "Will you...." Tears now flow down his cheeks, "Will you be my...."

I am nodding, and crying too. "Yes, Donald. A MILLION TIMES YES!!!"

We exchange a quick kiss, after he sets me down from spinning me around in the air. I feel safe in the shelter of his strong arms. We dance around in our own little winter wonderland as music spills from the speakers of his phone.

As we take a seat on a nearby bench, I smile. "I can't wait to tell Sus about all this."

"You don't have to." Suddenly my brown-blond haired best friend pops out from behind a bush, a camcorder in hand. I yelp in surprise. She giggles, doing random jazz hands, "Surprise!"

I laugh and grab her in a hug. We are as close as sisters and more crazy than you can imagine. No matter what though, we are always there for each other.
