He picks up his keys and walks toward the door. Before he opens it, he feels his pockets to make sure he has the ring.

Ringing the doorbell, Casey waits for Shaylynn to answer. Instead of her, a man answers surprising Casey. "You must be Matt," the man says to him. "Yes," Casey says not knowing if he should question who the man is. "Come on in, she's almost ready," the man tells him. Casey walks in and walks to the living room to see three more men sitting around. The man who answered the door sits down, all four men stare at Casey. "Matt," he hears from behind him. Casey turns around to see Shaylynn and what she's wearing.

Casey gets a huge smile on his face, "Ready?" she asks him. Casey nods walking toward her, "See you guys later!" Shaylynn tells the four men. They walk out of the house and to Casey's truck. "You look stunning!" he tells her on the way. "Thank you," Shaylynn tells him, "And you look very handsome!" She kisses him, then he helps her in. He quickly makes his way around the front of the truck, gets in, and drives off.

Looking around, Shaylynn sees they're not heading in the direction of the restaurant but toward the DuSable Harbor. "Matt, where are we going?" Shaylynn asks him. "Change of plans," Casey tells her with a smile on his face. He pulls into a parking lot, parks, and hurries over to her side to help her out. "What did you do?" Shaylynn asks. "I rented a boat," Casey tells her. Not knowing what to say, Shaylynn smiles. Casey leads her over to a dock that they start walking down. He notices she's walking very slow, "Is everything alright?" he asks her. "Yes, I just have to be careful and make sure my heels don't get caught in between the planks," she tells him. Stopping, Casey scoops her up into his arms and starts walking toward the boat. Shaylynn starts kissing his neck, "You have to stop that," Casey tells her. She smiles and looks to see why Casey stopped walking. He sits her down, "Matt, this isn't a boat, it's a yacht!" she tells him in shock.
