💬 + remi's going to ask jessica to marry him.
Send 💬 + a rumor and my muse will react to it.
it was one of those clear summer mornings, where a gentle heat was warming the pavements already and the sky was a pure virgin blue overhead - beams of golden light spilling through the leaves in the park she’d passed by on her way to work. a crisp sort of air; felt good and clean in your lungs each time you inhaled. she was coming in early -- wanted to finish early too, had dinner plans with remi later that evening, so she wanted to make good on the promise that she wouldn’t be late. again.
parking up by her little boutique, she climbs free of a cream-coloured, soft top volkswagon beetle; keys jingling away softly in her clutch, purse drawn to her shoulder and the blinkers flash as she activates the central locking system. heels click along the pavement as she heads for the front door - purposefully having left her day free enough to leave in time.
she’s not the first one in, her employees are there, getting the computers up and running; laying out patterns to be cut and dusting off the mirrors around the fitting podium. she bids them a hello, accepting an offer of a coffee before heading towards her office a little ways down behind the receptionist; wanting to start answering her messages first thing. there was a soft little buzz of conversation between her peers, and whilst it was mostly about every day things and sometimes work; jessica’s ear caught something particularly interesting as she stood in her office with the door ajar, her hands paused in sitting her purse on the desk.
“they’re going out for dinner tonight, right?...”
“yeah, to some restaurant up the river.”
“i’ve heard that’s a famous place for couples----”
“well..... he’s always in here with her....”
“and she’s never been so.... touchy with anyone else....”
“wasn’t he asking hye the other week about her engagement ring?”
“shit........ asking about rings too? and they’re going for an expensive dinner.”
“he’s totally gonna propose----”
propose? jessica freezes in her spot. clutching her bag as eyes open wide. remi had been asking her strange questions lately too--- what kind of flowers she liked, did she ever design her own wedding dress for the future, is she getting married in america or korea---- her heart begins to beat and there’s a fearful..... excitement? the seamstress just wasn’t sure.... marriage? that was huge. a big, big thing.
shouldn’t she be more afraid?....
