I closley examine the letter. It leaves so many unanswered questions.
Who wrote the letter? How do they know? Will they contact me again? Did they mean what they wrote? Or were they just bluffing?

" Two drinks! One for me and one for this pretty lady" I shout to the bartender.
"Here ya go mate." The bartender says as he sets the drinks down " You two let me know if you need anymore" he winks at me well I hand him coins.
"Rumple! You ready to go yet? Cause were drunk and tired. Were all leaving!" Shouts Lenny who's so drunk he can barley stand up.
I look over at Dearie who looks disappointed to see me leave. "You guys go ahead. I'll catch up with you later." As I say as a smile forms on Dearie's face.
"Alright Rumps I'll see ya tomorrow...maybe", Lenny says this with a snicker as him and my friends walk away.
Me and Dearie finish our drinks in silence. But not an awkward silence. Its was one of those silent moments where you're too lost in each others eyes to say anything.
"So Dearie, where are you staying? Is it close by?" This is the first thing that breaks the silence.
"Um yes actually I am. Its down the road. But Rumple, don't get any ideas. I'm waiting till marriage." Dearie says this with a suspicious look. Waiting to see if I'll take the bait.
"Well I think I have the perfect solution to that problem."
I get down on one knee hold her hand and say "I know its only been one night but I think we both know we're meant to be. It must be fate that were together tonight. So Dearie I ask you one question. Will you marry me?".
