HOW MY PARENTS MET

Alice was working at an upmarket jewellery store selling gems to people she would probably never have met in her every day life.

Grayson arrived looking for a present for his Mother's birthday. The cost of which was not a matter that needed to be discussed.

Alice smiled at him and showed him some beautiful pieces. Grayson had already decided on a particular item but pretended to hesitate so he could spend more time with this beautiful girl.

Eventually he picked out a yellow gold bracelet with dark blue sapphires inlaid around it and left.

When Alice locked up that night she was surprised to see Grayson standing at the front of the shop with a single rose in his hands and one word on his lips “Coffee?”

Coffee ended up with them going to dinner to a restaurant that Alice never knew existed and never expected to be in.

After that their relationship progressed to more dates, eventually becoming lovers.

They were two people falling in love.

When Grayson proposed with a huge diamond ring asking Alice to be his Wife she replied with a resounding yes.
