“What are your plans for tomorrow?” she asked, turned away from him as she stood at her locker at the end of the day. “I thought maybe we could see a movie, or spend some time together.”
He was momentarily taken aback, as he quickly tried to think of a way to hide his real plans. “Umm…I think Warrick and I were going to watch the game together.”
“Really?” she replied, furrowing her brow as she placed her CSI vest on the shelf and turning to face him. “I could have sworn he was going over to Catherine’s. They’ve been spending a lot of time together recently…” she trailed off.
“Oh, she’s watching the game with us,” he said, rapidly. Nearly too rapidly. Smooth, Stokes. She’s going to catch on.
Sara let out a laugh, the laugh that was music to Nick’s ears. “Catherine? Watching the game? You have got to be kidding me.”
“Hey, what can I say? It was her choice, after all.”
“Call me when you get home from ‘watching the game’?” she asked with a grin.
“Of course.” They had kissed, and left the locker room, headed to separate destinations.
He thought back on their last conversation as he looked downward. A shimmering stone caught the corner of his eye, and he glanced over. It was perfect. Perfect for the woman he loved. Turning to Warrick, he motioned to it.
“She’s going to love it,” Warrick said, clapping a hand on Nick’s shoulder.
“You’ll be taking this ring?” the salesman asked, and Nick nodded, fighting back tears of joy. Soon, he could give it to her.
