Chester strolled lazily down the street to Jen's shop planning to take her out on a surprise lunch.  He figured it was about time for him to propose.  He had really thrown her for loop on her birthday.  He had a feeling that she was certain that he was going to propose then, but that wouldn't have been any fun if she was expecting it now would it. If he were a better man he wouldn't have enjoyed the look of disappointment on her face when she opened the box to find cheap earrings on her birthday, but he wasn't, so he did.  It was almost hard for him not to laugh.

He walked into her shop and scowled at the people waiting.  He hadn't actually planned on her being busy.  He peeked around the corner to find Jen occupied with another customer, so he took the opportunity to 'clear' her schedule for lunch.  He pulled the ring box out of his pocket and after tossing and catching it a few times he gained the attention of most of the waiting room.  "I hope you don't mind too terribly but you'll have to reschedule your appointments.  Jen has unexpected plans, so if you don't mind."  He gestured to the door before making his way to the back room, sliding the ring box back in his pocket.

"Ready to be whisked away for lunch?"
