Telling his mother about his plans to propose to Nora was the worst mistake he’d ever mind. She had promptly burst into tears and started fluttering about. Nattering his ear off about how he needed rose petals and candles and a moonlight walk to set the mood. “A girl only gets a moment like this once in her life, Gabriel,” she had scolded him when he started complaining she was going overboard. So thanks to his mother, he was stuffed into an uncomfortable suit next to an elegantly decorated candlelit table for two on the farthest point of Nora’s ranch. There was twinkling yellow lights strung up in the trees and rose petals surrounding their chairs. His father had been no help at all, he had just shrugged and told him to “get used to it.” To make matters worse, Theo had caught him up on the ladder hanging the damn lights and just about had a heart attack from laughing so hard. He was lucky he had got away with all his teeth intact. Gabe shifted his feet and checked his watch.
