"You might remember, Cade, I've seen the etchings."

"Yes, but well to put it delicately, we've tried the other three out, how about the fourth?"

"You asking me to have sex with you in the car?"

Cade, at least, had the demeanor to look slightly embarrassed. “Sounds good, but no, that's not actually the surprise. Come on.” He led her towards the car and the closer they got, the louder the noise became.

A dog noise. Barking. Loud and very high pitched.

"You've got a dog in that car."

Cade nodded, and Taylor looked to the car, peering in through the window at the yapping frenzy of fluffy white and brown fur, and back to Cade. “But this is your pride and joy."

"No, it's not, Taylor. You take that title. And just to prove it, I got Milly here for you. All married couples have dogs before they start on the human kind. Kids,” he said beaming.

"Dogs, kids. Married?” Taylor virtually shouted the last word.

"Yes. Married. I want to marry you, Taylor. I want you in my bed, beside me every day and night for the next millennium."

"Does Milly have to join us?"

"Nope—purely the end of the bed."

"Then, it's a deal. You, me and four classic cars and Milly. Sounds like a good start to a family."

"Sweetheart, it sounds just right, as long as that sexy underwear stays."

"Absolutely."
