Your gala was going in full swing. People dancing, having fun and making small talks, wine and champagne flowing freely and music swallow by everything.

Just like you expected.

As a Wall Street investor, you were more to used to this. So much that it was almost boring.

But what wasn't... Was her.

Yuriko Takagi. A japanese Stockbrocker. Single mother. Freshly divorced of her neglectful husband.

She made the first step towards you. She watched you like a hawk, scrutizing each of your movements, waiting for the good time who came when you went to grab a glass of wine.

"Good evening. I couldn't help but remark you were bored. Could you let me change that?" Yuriko asked with a smirk.

The morning, when you woke up after a heated night , she was still in your bed, with only sheets covering her.

She was mysterious yet couldn't help but attract everything and everyone to her. Full of life, but tired. As gracious as provocative.

She was everything you didn't have but have yearned for your entire life.

Maybe it's why, in what an act which would be seen as insane, you proposed to her.

Yuriko wasn't surprised. She just smiled, took the ring and slided it on her finger. "Well... Now i have the answer to the famous 'what are we?'..."

You smiled.

Because you knew at this instance that you made the right choice.
