Gillette sighed dreamily as he stood at the front door.
"Daphne, I love you." No, that won't work. "Will you marry me?" No."
He sighed as he looked down at his feet.
"I'm in trouble."
He rang the doorbell.

Daphne, who had been sitting in her room reading one of her romance novels, jumped up with excitement when she heard the doorbell ring. She ran down the stairs a little too quickly, stubbing her toe as she ran into the door. Grimacing, she reached forward to open it and called, "Hello?"

"Daphne, darling", Gillette greeted.

"Oh, hello!" Daphne said with a smile.
She tucked straight brown hair behind her ears and flashed him a smile.
"Come on in, my parents are out for a bit."
She opened the door wider and stepped aside.
"How have you been?"

"Very well", Gillette said. "I've been assigned a task. I'm going out to sea next week. And I had to dow this before I go."
He took Daphne's hands.
"Darling Daphne, I love you. Will you do the honor of becoming my wife?"

"You're going out to sea? Oh dear..."
Daphne registered his second sentence and her jaw dropped. She stared at him with dark brown eyes the size of saucers.
"Do you mean it? Of course I will!"
Daphne smiled at him excitedly with her red lips, her dark eyes shining.

"I have made arrangements for us to wed before I go", Gillette said. "When will your parents get back? They will be so happy to hear the news."

"Wonderful!" Daphne smiled excitedly. "Oh, I don't know...another hour or so? You never know with them."
She stepped further inside the door and motioned to the couch.
"Don't be a stranger! Come on and sit down."

"Would you like to come for a walk with me?" Gillette asked. "To the beach?"

"Wonderful idea," Daphne said with a smile. "Why don't you let me change first? I don't want to wear this to the beach."
Daphne pointed to her long, heavy gown that looked rather fancy.
"Come upstairs with me."
