"Well tonight is a special night" Marcus answered giving her a grin. "Our current album has gone to number one and all our concerts have sold out in record time. I think that deserves a little celebration and champagne." He signaled the waiter, looked back at Annie and gave her a wink. "Don't you think?" He gave the waiter the order for a bottle of their finest champagne and lent back in his chair.

He could feel the little box inside his jacket pocket and sat there thinking of the best way to ask her. Should he put the ring inside her champagne glass? Nah, far too cheesy. Maybe order some red roses and put it inside one of the petals? Nope it might get lost. Or maybe just go with the whole traditional down on bended knee. Problem was, Axe was certainly not traditional or conventional. Damn Lawson you certainly didn't think this one through very well. Probably best to just go with his normal strategy...and just wing it.
