Jackie gently places his hand on her leg as she warmly kisses him. He smiles to her, eyes flickering with excitement as he pulls out his phone. He pretends to check the time but in actuality his fingers were gliding across the key pad, sending a message to Darren consisting of one word in all caps, “NOW.” He redirects his attention towards his wonderful Elizabeth. “I wanted to say that-“ He is cut off when the power to the apartment complex shuts down. The room the two are sitting in is completely black, but this only lasts a minute. The lights flicker back on revealing Jackie, whom is now off the couch, knelt upon one knee and holding a diamond ring. He had sold his piano, the one thing he had other than Elizabeth that he truly loved, in order to buy it. He continues exactly where he left off as soon as the lights came on. “The time I have spent with you has been the greatest adventure I’ve ever embarked upon. I simply can’t imagine a world without my sweet sweet Elizabeth always backing me up.. always there for me. My best memories are with you as we have had a wonderful breath taking past and I want us to have an even better future.” Jackie Soldera had always been an emotional man, a small tear collects at the bottom of his eye birthed of immense love, happiness and fear all at the same time electrically pumping through his system. “I am asking you.. to marry me.” He says softly.
