Liam calmed down just slightly, taking a deep breath to calm his nerves. They pulled into the parking lot of the gardens, the place of their first date.

Kasey practically lit up at the sight of the gardens. They held good memories for her, a couple of her favorites. She turned to Liam with a grin once she saw where they were.

“You brought me to the gardens,” she said quietly.

Liam smiled softly down at his lap before looking to Kasey, "Yeah, come on, I wanna show you something."

“I’m guessing you’re not going to tell me until we get there?” Kasey joked with a soft chuckle as she unbuckled herself and opened the door. “I’m excited to see what you’ve planned.”

Liam rubbed a the back of his neck and smiled sheepishly, "I hope you like it." He got out the car, and offered his hand for Kasey.

“I’m sure I will,” Kasey assured him softly as she took his hand. “Lead the way.”

Liam gave her hand a squeeze, leading them inside the gardens. There were a few other couples and people out, but none of them paid any attention to the two of them. Liam led them towards the bridge that crossed over to the island he took Kasey to all those weeks ago.

Kasey’s eyes stayed on Liam. He was so nervous and so excited. She had a guess about what was happening, but… no. That couldn’t be it… Right?

Liam found the spot in the bushes that the two had to crawl through and gestured to it, "Ladies first."

Kasey laughed softly before crouching down to crawl through. She tried not to get her clothes caught on anything, not wanting to ruin her outfit before Liam did whatever it was he had planned.

Since the last time they'd visited, well, since Kasey had visited, there had been an outdoor stage area set up in the middle. Tonight, though, there had been fairly lights put up around the pillars, roses slung in between the lights. There was a table set up in the middle, a few different desserts and wine set up. It almost seemed like something out of a movie.

“Holy— Liam, did you… did you do all of this?” Kasey whispered as she looked around the park, slowly turning around to face her boyfriend.

Liam shrugged and grinned, "A magician never reveals his secrets."

“This is beautiful,” Kasey said softly, making her way over to stand by his side. “…and you’re a journalist, but that’s not the point.”

Liam pulled Kasey into his chest, smiling down at her, "I take it you like it, then?"

“I love it. It’s beautiful,” Kasey said softly, smiling up at him as she wrapped her arms around him. “Thank you.”

"Anything for you beautiful." Liam leaned down, lightly pressing his lips against hers.

Kasey smiled a little against his lips when he kissed her. She lifted a hand to gently cup his cheek, shifting on her feet to get a better stance before kissing him back just as softly.

Liam pulled back after a few moments, smiling softly down at her, "How about we go get that dessert, yeah?"

“Yeah. Let’s do that,” Kasey said softly, smiling up at him.

Liam kissed her cheek before leading her over, pulling out the chair for Kasey.

“Thank you,” Kasey murmured as she sat down. “Did you make all of this?”

Liam blushed, sitting down across from here, "There is a slight possibility I did…"

Kasey smiled across at him, reaching over for his hand to give it a squeeze. “It looks great. I’m sure it’ll be good.”

Liam connected his hand in hers, smiling, "I'm praying." He took his hand away to offer Kasey a slice of the cheesecake.

“And it’s my favorite food,” Kasey mused as she accepted the slice from him. “I’m excited to try it.”

"I hope it's good. I'm not the best chef in the world." Liam replied, handing her the plate.

“I’m sure it’ll be great,” Kasey said with a grin. “Ready?”

Liam nodded, placing a small part of his own cake on his fork, "Ready."

Kasey smiled at Liam again as she took a piece onto her fork. She ate the bite, humming when she tasted it.

“It’s really good,” she mumbled around it, covering her full mouth with her hand.
