Epilogue

Five Years Later

"Arthur don't trip!" I pulled Arthur along covering his eyes with my hands. I stopped and checked one last time to make sure I was wearing the right outfit. I opened the door to the refurbished cafe. The smell of hot cocoa was all around. I looked around making sure everything was in place.

"Alfred, what the heck are you doing? Why does it smell like hot chocolate everywhere?" he sighed and tried to pry off my hands.

"No! Not yet!" I pulled the pressed rose from my pocket carefully. It was the one Arthur had given me years ago. Mattie and Francis gave me a thumbs up. I uncovered his eyes. He looked at me down on my knee.

"What the he-" I pulled out the rose. The gold ring gently tied to the flower sparkled.

"Arthur...Remember that day, five years ago when you came in and ordered hot chocolate?" he put his hand over his mouth and nodded. "...Remember the time I gave you this rose?" he nodded his eyes glistening with tears. "Do you remember the time you made me ask you out on the floor of our apartment…?" he nodded again as he looked at the ring. "Well...I hope you remember this time...as the time I decided to propose to you with the flower you gave me five years ago in the cafe I bought where we first met...so what do you say Artie? Will you be my husband?" tears slid down his cheeks.

"...Yes you bloody idiot!" he hugged me and slipped the ring onto his finger. Francis and Mattie cheered. The two cats cheerfully meowed and licked each other. I knew one thing for sure at that very moment. I would never stop loving him for the rest of my life.
