The scarlet, velvet box had taken residence in her pocket for at least a week, maybe three at most, since she had trouble deciding what to say, and how to say. Maiko had loved Loki for a long time, ever since they met, and even a little before then, when she had heard of him in the news. She wondered how he would react, if he'd be happy and cry, or if he'd turn her away with a cold 'no' - maybe he'd decline the offer awkwardly, with a nervous and quiet apology trailing from his lips. She was terrified of what he would say, but she had to go for it, right? She didn't buy a ring (costing at least $2,000) for shits and giggles, no, she had done it because she loved him, and she wanted him to know how much she loved him - she wanted to love him forever, until the end of time she wanted to be by his side.
So, there she was, in her nicest, most elegant tuxedo, her tie being a deep green with a golden trim as an accent. She had invited him over for dinner, hinting and saying that she had something very, very important to discuss with him, and it would be best to do in private, and with a light, romantic atmosphere. She had cooked a fine amount of food, some meat for him to enjoy, vegetables and fruits for her to indulge in, some sweets on the side, and she had bought a fine bottle of champagne. She had even lit a candle at the dining room table, setting up a small speaker that quietly played classical music. She was terribly nervous, looking inside the velvet box every few minutes, just on the off chance that the ring had managed to grow legs and walk away. At the sound of a knock at the door, she nearly dropped the box, gloved fingers clumsily fumbling with it as she slid it into her coat pocket. She hurried over, straightening her tie, fidgeting with her clothing, and fixing her hair in a nearby mirror. She took in a deep, nervous breath, then opened the door with a smile. " L-Loki! Welcome, my darling, please, come in..! " She took a step back, standing to the side, holding the door so he could enter.
