The apartment getting decorated, cake appears on the table, guest and, Ryan and Jaime were in the middle and a cake between them, slowly appearing in a transition style. The morning turned evening.

Ryan and Jaime seem to talk happily. Jaime cracks a funny joke and Ryan seems to laugh which distract both of them. While Ryan is still distracted laughing, Jaime swallow a piece of cake that the ring could be seen. She drinks a can of beer to smooth the full throat. Ryan was too late to stop her. His laugh died on his lips. He was stunned and shock on what is happening. He quickly recovers. She hiccups.

Ryan (smiling on the face but frantically thinking)

What should I do? I don’t want to ruin the surprise…but….

Jaime

….And I told her-or him if you want to be politically correct-that it’s totally not an obsession! It’s just a concentrated form of adoration!

(Looks at Ryan with a worried face)

Oh errr I’m fine! I was just wondering would you like a dance?
