Prompt: candy hearts
A little bit of romancy fluff. =)
---------
The morning light streamed in through the windows and it gave Julia a happy feeling. She loved shore leave, particularly when it was on a planet that had amazing coastline and sunny weather. Stretching, the raven haired woman gave a yawn before sitting up.
Glancing around, she found a body missing from the bed: where was Gabe? Instead of her boyfriend's head on his pillow, there was instead a small pile of candy hearts and a note.
Morning Babe, Happy Valentine's Day!
Sorry I'm not around, Commander Tregelen called me up to the Yeager for a quick briefing. I should be back this afternoon.
Love you!
Gabe.
Julia sighed to herself. She knew their shore leave being cut short sometimes was part of the job - Jules was surprised they'd made it this long before having their holiday interrupted.
Popping one of the candy hearts into her mouth, Julia munched it as she climbed out of bed. Grabbing her robe from the hook, she wrapped the terry cloth around her and cinched it tight, wandering out into the main part of the small bungalow. Julia was about to head to the kitchen to make some breakfast when something outside caught her eye.
Opening the patio door Julia found a person standing there. He waved at her.
It brought a smile to her face. Slipping into her sandals, Jules wandered out onto the beach toward where Gabe was standing. She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at him, wondering why he was wearing his dress uniform.
"A little warm out for dress whites, no?" She asked him as she stopped infront of him.
"Not for this..." Gabriel replied, suddenly dropping down to one knee before her. He rummaged in his pocket and pulled out a small felt box.
"Julia Adrienne Nielson, will you marry me?"
