“How long do you think we can stay out here before somebody comes looking for us?” Lindsay asked, staring across the rooftop at the darkening city.
Danny wrapped his arms around her from behind and tucked his head against her shoulder. “I figure we’ve got half an hour at least.”
She smiled. “I don’t suppose you have anything in mind for that time, do you?”
He grinned at her. “I might be able to think of something. The city’s beautiful, huh?”
She nodded. “It’s amazing. Look at the Chrysler Building,” she added, pointing across the skyline.
“You’re even more beautiful.”
“That’s the strangest compliment I think I’ve ever gotten, but thanks.”
“Listen, Montana,” he said, reaching into his pocket and fingering the ring box nervously. “There’s something I wanna ask you.”
Lindsay shifted in his arms until she was facing him, studying his face. “Is everything okay? You’re acting weird.”
He shook his head. “Everything’s fine, Lindsay. Everything’s better than fine when I’ve got you.”
She wrinkled her nose and smiled at him before kissing him slowly. “That was almost cheesy, Messer.”
“Yeah, you seem to bring that out in me.” He swallowed. “Listen, Montana, I know this probably isn’t the best place, or the best time, but” he shrugged, gesturing towards the city, “I don’t think you get a better backdrop than this. The city’s magical. You’re magical.” He dropped to one knee and held the ring up towards her. “You make me believe in fairy tales. You make me want to live in a fairy tale, so marry me, Lindsay. Spend forever with me.”
Lindsay covered her mouth with her hands, staring at him for a long minute.
“Say something,” he pleaded.
“Of course,” she whispered, wiping her eyes and giggling. “Of course I’ll marry you.” She tugged him to his feet and threw her arms around his neck. “I love you Danny.”
“I love you,” he said, slowly combing through her hair with his fingers. “You wanna put the ring on?”
She laughed again, slipping it on her finger and kissing him.
“I love you,” she said again, resting her head on his shoulder.
“I love you. You’re not pissed I sort of technically asked you to marry me at work are you?”
“No,” she assured him.
“Good. I’d hate to hate to have to celebrate our engagement by sleeping on the couch.”
“That would be tragic,” she murmured.
“You know, if we go inside and tell everybody that we just got engaged, I bet they’ll let us go home early.”
She shook her head. “That’s not the whole reason you proposed, right?”
“No,” he said quickly. “Remember the lights, and the magic, and the fairy tale.”
She smiled. “Maybe when we get home, you can remind me.”
Danny wrapped his arms around her from behind and tucked his head against her shoulder. “I figure we’ve got half an hour at least.”
She smiled. “I don’t suppose you have anything in mind for that time, do you?”

my feelings
my thoughts
my mind
is me
the fake smile
pasted on my face
is not what I feel
my fake joy
my fake assurance
I feel dead inside
cuts on my arm
ooze
but they don't
let out my
feelings
I have fake excuses
Today the fake
becomes real
Today I become me
Today i hide nothing
Today I die
Today I end my life

the fake smile
pasted on my face

my fake joy
my fake assurance
I feel dead inside
cuts on my arm
ooze

let out my
feelings
I have fake excuses
Today the fake
becomes real
Today I become me
Today i hide nothing
Today I die
Today I end my life
