"Ian, now that you have proposed to me, why are you suddenly treating me like a dainty little flower? I do not need a parasol in this cold weather unless you are planning to let me poke you with it. You don't need to do anything more," Scarlet said, taking it from his hands to close it. "I am enjoying the breeze."

Though the sun was still high in the sky it was not hot. 

"It is good that Florence packed a few coats for me. It was to be a surprise but I have placed an order for winter coats for you. Since it was a secret I did not know your size so hopefully they will fit. I can have them quickly altered," Scarlet added.

Ian was happy to know that she had considered him. Scarlet went from they should not be giving each other gifts to now looking for gifts. "I will wear them even if they are too small or big."

"Do not turn into someone who makes me cringe. How is it that you are the overly romantic one? When did this side of you start?" Scarlet wondered.
