He watched her.
Sitting on Lassiter's desk, unbeknownst to her, Shawn watched Juliet from across the room and held a grin—a grin that could only be held by a man deeply in love—to himself.
She tapped away on her computer, sorted through files, and chewed her pineapple-flavored gum without giving her boyfriend any mind.
He found her positively irresistible when she paid him no attention.
They had been officially dating for a year now, with several joys and bumps along the road.
He'd been slapped.
She had cried.
He had laughed.
She had smiled.
She told him about her ex-boyfriend and coworker from Miami, Trevor, who had broken her heart by cheating on her with a friend.
Since that tearful conversation, Shawn had no problems holding his kisses, his eyes, and his heart for one girl—that one girl who made his palms grow sweaty.
Blinking back to the present, Shawn's smile faded as his heart raced. He had made his decision months ago.
His dad, of all people, had even backed him up.
His dad!
Gus, of course, was not surprised. He could read Shawn as if he were the fake psychic. Even Lassiter knew, as Shawn had brought him and Gus along for advice on how to find the one that was perfect.
Hopping off of Lassiter's desk, knocking a few papers down in the process, Shawn reached into his front pocket and twirled the small, round, solid object—the reason he was forced to eat nothing but Raman noodles for nearly a month.
Tonight was the night.
It was time.
Taking another deep breath, which did nothing to steady his speeding pulse, Shawn took several nervous, but dedicated steps towards Juliet as he twirled the diamond ring in his pocket.
The End
