Long Lost Workout and Thoughts to the future

"Hey handsome." Juliet greeted, snuggling closer to him as she did. "I can't remember the last time I slept that well." Her smile was bright, but sleepy. Why did they have to be up so early? This was complete and utter torture. Then again, she did have that meeting with Dante today to help him work some things out. Juliet would have to get out of bed sooner rather than later, even if she didn't want to. "I love you Ri." Her voice was almost a whisper as she leaned up to kiss him softly on the lips before letting her head fall on to the pillow beside his.

Smiling into the kiss he broke the kiss and turned to reach into his bedside table, his hand covering the small box though his hand was shaking, and he knew his heart was beginning to race. "Juliet Harper Peace, you have been the light of my life since I first saw you as a young fifteen year old. Through the years we shared many amazing moments together, we shared some of the best birthdays anyone could ever have. Even in these last two years you were the light that kept me going. I know there has been pain, but I have never loved anyone as much as I have and ever will love."

Slowly he brought his hand up and opened the box with his one hand and placed it on his chest so Jules could see it, "Will you do me the greatest honor and become my wife?" By this point he felt as if his heart was going to burst right through his chest. It was soon, it was crazy to think now was the time but he had been sure for the last three years there was never going to be anyone who he would love more or want to spend his entire life with.

Juliet smiled all the way through Riley's speech, not quite sure what he was doing until she saw the box. Her heart raced as he finally asked her the question she had waited years to hear, the one she had been afraid would never come. For a long moment she stared at him speechless, not because she didn't know what to say, but because a million ways to say it were running through her head all at once. This was happening, it was really happening and part of her couldn't believe it. "Yes. Yes." She finally choked out as she threw her arms around Riley's neck and kissed him. Happy tears were streaming down her face, and the ring laid between them forgotten. She was going to marry riley, and no piece of jewelry was more important than that.

Slowly he took the ring out of the box with shaking hands and placed it on her finger smiling at how it looked on her. He pulled her closer to him his heart filled with all the love he could possibly think of and want and then some, his heart was complete. He placed a long lingering kiss on her lips before he said, "You have just made me the luckiest man alive, and given me the best gift you could ever give me. You, getting to do this the rest of our lives, fights and all since I know I am far from perfect. Jules, my fiancee, soon to be my wife... my wife, wow that sounds amazing!" Pulling out the ring he took her hand and slid it on her finger kissing it once in place. "Eternity and back I will love you."
