Quiet Dinner

Chris walked into the kitchen where Thora was getting dinner ready. He noticed the table was adorned with candles and fine china. He breathed in the aroma of her cooking. He smiled at her. “So whats the special ocasion?” He asked curiously. “Oh I don’t know, I just figgured you would want to come home to a nice dinner.” She said before she embraced him and kissed him softly.

“Have a seat, pour yourself some wine, it should be ready in a few minutes” She said after they pulled away.

Chris followed her instructions. He took the glass and helped himself to some wine. He put the glass to his lips and took a sip. Within minutes Thora joined him. They began eating dinner and made some small talk.

After they were finished Thora cleared the table. They were sitting at the table afterwards, drinking wine. Chris looked into Thora’s eyes. “I have something to say” “Oh?” Chris cleared his throat. He fished in his pocket for the box.
