Chris kept his eyes on Bella, watching her intently. "I can. You said I have to prove it to you. I'll do that, if you let me.."

Bella looks up at him, tears still streaming down her face. "How? How would you ever do that?!"

Chris looked back at her, "I don't know, but can't you at least give me a chance?"

Bella shut her eyes tightly, though some tears still fell. She took a few deep breaths trying to control her breathing and nodded, still with her eyes closed. When she opened them, she was sure that makeup was smeared all down her face- but she just wanted him to understand. "I hope I don't regret this."

Chris shook his head slightly, "You won't." He stepped closer to her and hugged her, unable to help himself. He was just so relieved that he still had a chance. "Thank you. I know it doesn't seem like it right now.. but I love you, and I'll do anything to prove it to you." He slowly let go of Bella and leaned back to look at her. "Can I start with dinner tomorrow?"

Bella sighs deeply as she looks at him. "I guess so." She looked into his eyes, searching for something in them that would reassure her that she was making the right decision.

"I'll call you tomorrow with the reservation." Chris held her gaze, hoping she found what she was looking for.

Bella nods and looks down again, picking up the flowers. She tried to fake a smile towards him as she got up to throw the rose petals out. As she tossed the petals in the trashcan, she watched them fall and sighed, running her fingers through her hair.

Chris watched her for a minute before turning away to get ready for bed. He took off the rest of his suit and put on a t-shirt, walking over to their bed. He looked at Bella to see if she was going back to bed.

Bella stood in the bathroom for awhile, staring at her reflection and wiping off her messy makeup. She took a few deep breaths and put her curled hair back in a pony tail before walking into the bedroom. She got into bed but didn't say anything to Chris.. in fact she laid with her back towards him

Chris looked at her and then lowered his eyes. He didn't sleep well at all. Actually, he didn't know if he even slept. Before he knew it, his alarm clock was going off and he silenced it with the push of a button. He quietly got out of bed like he did five to six days a week, and walked into the bathroom to get a shower.

Bella didn't sleep much at all either. She watched Chris get ready, without a smile or any definitive expression on her face. Engagement was supposed to be fun, and her life was exponentially more boring with each day that came.

After Chris showered, shaved, brushed his teeth, and got dressed, he looked over at Bella to see that she was awake. He finished straightening his tie and walked over to the bed, leaning down to kiss her. "I'll call you about dinner."

Bella nods, silently. She watched him, pulling the covers up to her chest as she sighed.

Chris looked at her as he straightened up, wishing she would say something. He walked out, grabbing his brief case from his office before leaving their apartment. He went down to his car and drove to the firm.

As soon as the door closed, Bella started crying. Her life was too unbearable lately, and she couldn't hold it in anymore. She got up and took a shower, got dressed in a sports bra and spandex and went to the gym, trying to get some anger out through cardio

After a couple meetings, Chris returned to his office and faced the window while he called Bella.

Bella was just getting in her car after a long work out. She answered the phone while fixing her makeup and starting the car. "Hey.. what's up?" She pulled out of the parking lot, her phone leaning against her shoulder and the side of her head

"I made reservations for seven o' clock. Is that okay with you?" Chris replied, looking out the window. He looked down to watch the cars driving by below, and at the surroundings buildings.

Bella: "Yeah, seven should be fine." She glanced over her shoulder as she merged- she was driving near Chris' office building. "Where are the reservations?" She asked as she turned to look straight ahead of her. When she looked, the bright lights of a tractor trailor were in her windshield, and the impact was almost immediate. Bella screamed, then blacked out as her head hit the steering wheel.
