Proposal

"If you can ride a motorcycle uphill and downhill at 60mph, what's the big deal about riding a horse?"

"The difference is my motorcycle can't throw me off."

"There's a higher risk of you getting hurt in a motorcycle accident than in a horse accident."

"Not true."

"It is so true. Just think about all the idiots that are out there on the road."

Spencer parked the truck on the hill overlooking the town. She and Toby just went out to dinner, and after they decided to go to their favorite place. They spent the whole day together. Spencer had an early meeting at work today that let out at 11AM and Toby was off. After Spencer got home, they went to the stables to go riding. Toby still isn't as comfortable with being on a horse but he's slowly getting used to it. Spencer and Toby have been working together to take care of Bashful. Basically Bashful has become their child. During dinner, Spencer brought up the idea of adopting another horse which lead to their current conversation about what's more dangerous; motorcycles or horses.

The two of them hopped out of the truck and to their spot. Toby grabbed the blanket from the bed of the truck and a large red pillow. He grabbed something else to that Spencer couldn't see. He laid the blanket and pillow down, and they sat on it. They laid back on the blanket with Spencer's head resting on Toby's chest, and his arm wrapped around her. They looked up at the stars in the clear navy blue sky and enjoyed the sounds of nature around them. Spencer snuggled up real close to Toby and inhaled deeply.

"This right here is perfect."

"It's almost perfect but I think I know a way to make it perfect."

Spencer smirked, "wow sex outside that's a little daring for us, isn't it?"

Toby smiled, "no, that's not what I mean, but tempting." He sat up on the blanket and she did too.

"You and I have had one hell of a journey but I wouldn't change anything about us even if I could. Well, except when we broke up I would take the time we lost back. And that time I broke your heart by being a double agent… And."

"Toby," she stopped him. "I get it, our relationships been an emotional rollercoaster."

He smiled shyly and held her hand, "what I'm trying to say is this. Being with you has been the most amazing experience. You are without a doubt the best thing that has ever happened to me. For a long time, I didn't even know what love was. I thought it was something a lot of people made up and over exaggerated about. Then you came along. With everything that's happened these last few years, it made me realize how lost I'd be without you. I don't just want you forever. I need you in my life. Now, I know you always crap on the word hope and say all hope does is breed eternal misery but, I am hoping that you will want to spend the rest of your life with me."

He paused for a second to get something out of his coat pocket. He pulled a small velvet navy blue box and tapped on the lid a few times before meeting her eye again. Spencer's breath got hitched in her throat and her eyes watered.

"We were right here on this hill when I realized that you were going to be someone important to me. Whether that would be a friend or clearly more than friends. I just never thought it would be my soulmate. If you accept my proposal now, here, today, I promise to give all the love you deserve. I promise to be your forever. I promise to be your safe place to land. I promise to kick your ass at scrabble anytime. Spencer, I swear to you that I will spend the rest of my life keeping you happy and safe. I'll do anything to keep you happy. I love you. So much."

Toby opened the velvet box to reveal his mother's 1970s ring. It's a small diamond ring with a white gold band. Spencer felt her heart swell and she cupped her hands over her mouth.

"Spencer Jill Hastings, will you marry me?"

Spencer nodded and moved her hands from over her mouth to reveal her bright smile.

"Yes," she said.

Toby pulled the ring out of the box and slid it on Spencer's finger. They smiled at each other then Spencer threw her arms around Toby. He caught her in a hug and they held each other for a long moment before pulling back to indulge in a passionate fiery kiss. They leaned their heads together and mirrored each other's smile.

"I know I said having sex outside wasn't likely but after recent events, I'm totally considering that idea," Spencer said.

Toby smirked, "really?"

"Well," she looked around.

"How about the truck?" He suggested.

Her face lit back up, "I'm good with that!"

The jumped up from where they were sitting and raced back to the truck. They laughed and giggled as they climbed into the truck and started making out again, adding a perfect ending to their perfect day.

This part wasn't that great but I promise the other parts will be better.
