The Proposal

by Janet Jongebloed

	Thatcher was driving to the Italian restaurant when she started thinking
about the past week. She couldn't understand Fraser's current behavior.
He seemed more jumpy around her than ever. That had annoyed Thatcher,
Fraser had known this.
	To top off the week, an envelope had been on her desk at the beginning
of the day. In it was a letter telling her to go to Lombardi's Restorante
at 8 o'clock that night.
	The letter was unsigned and no one at the consulate knew who had
delivered it. After she thought of all the weirdos who could have delivered
it, she decided to go.
	As she turned into the restaurant's parking lot she was greeted by
Fraser.
	"Hello Ma'am" Fraser said to Thatcher.
	"What are you doing here." Thatcher asked
	"Well...you see...that note on your desk today..it was from me."
	"You" Thatcher said unbelieving "Why did I need to come here? What
do you need?"
	"Can we go inside? Our reservations are strictly at 8 o'clock." Fraser
said not answering the questions.
	Thatcher followed Fraser into the restaurant. They got seated quickly,
considering how many people were there.
	It was a charming little restaurant. Each table was draped in a tablecloth
of white. In the center of each table was a vase with a single rose in
it.
	Fraser pulled out Thatcher's chair for her. Thatcher wondered what
had gotten into him.
	"Fraser why did you bring me here?" Thatcher asked as Fraser sat
down. 	"I wanted to bring you someplace special" Fraser answered.
	"Why?" Thatcher asked trying to get to the point.
	"Well" Fraser said while fishing through his pocket. He pulled out
the velvet box. "I wanted to give this to you"
	Thatcher took the box from his hands. As she opened the box things
started to piece together. Inside was a engagement ring.
	"Do you like it?" Fraser asked
	"WOW, Fraser. I love it" Thatcher exclaimed
	"Will you..?" Fraser started
	"Of course I will Fraser," Thatcher said as she looked into Fraser's
eyes.
	"Thank you kindly, Mrs. Fraser"

THE END
