The afternoon sun streams through the windows of Dewey & Hoyt’s office. Beau is pacing by Jenny’s desk, his boots scuffing the floor. His usual calm confidence is nowhere to be seen, and Jenny and Cassie can’t help but notice.

“Beau”, Jenny says, raising an eyebrow, “you’re wearing a hole through the floor, what’s going on?”

“Yeah”, Cassie adds, leaning back in her chair. “You’ve been acting weird all day, spill.”

Beau freezes mid step, groaning as he rubs the back of his neck. “Alright, fine. I’m working on something…something big. I’m planning a proposal okay?”

Jenny’s eyebrows shoot up, and Cassie smirks. “Oh” Jenny says with a grin “so that’s why you’re pacing like that?”

Beau sighs, shaking his head. “This isn’t just a question okay? It’s the question. I want it to be perfect.”

“Beau” Cassie says while smiling. “It doesn’t have to be perfect. Just be you. That’s enough.”

Before Beau can respond, the office door creaks open. You step inside, glancing curiously between the trio. “Hey” you say, your smile soft. “What’s going on?”

Beau stiffens, his ears turning pink as Jenny tries to hide a laugh. “Nothing”, Jenny says her voice light with amusement. “Just your cowboy here overthinking something”.

“Jenny” beaus mutters, shooting her a glare before turning to you. His eyes soften as he steps closer, taking your hand in his.

“Hey darlin’” he says, his voice quieter now. Everything’s fine. Just…had a lot on my mind. Let’s head out. I’ll explain soon, I promise.”

You nod, though your curiosity lingers as he leads you out of the office.
