After the fundraiser you all go to a club to drink and dance.

All the drivers and a few friends and girlfriends are joining.

Max: Before we go inside I have something to tell you guys.

He turns towards you, you smile at him.

Max: We are engaged.

Everyone is congratulating you and Max.

Daniel: Congrats guys, and Max you better ask me to be your best man.

Max laughs: Will you?

Daniel: Ofcourse I will.

Behind Daniel you see Lando and Lily walking towards you, great...

Lily: Congratulations, Max.

Yn: You know I'm standing right here.

She gives you a big fake smile.

Lily: Yeah, you too.

You roll your eyes at her.

Yn: Don't even bother. Max, baby, let's go inside.

Max hadn't picked up on the "baby" you mimicked, but Lily did.

Apparently so did Lando, because when you look over your shoulder you can see Lando secretly smiling at what you said.

Max takes your hand and leads you inside.

After a few shots you everyone is dancing and laughing.

Max is talking with Daniel, and you're on the dance floor with George, Charles, Charlotte, Lily and Lando.

You look at Charlotte.

Yn: I'm going to the bathroom.

Charlotte: I'm coming with you.

Charlotte takes your hand and you make your way through the crowd.

Yn: You should go first, I'll wait for you here.

Charlotte disappeared into the bathroom.

You're standing against the wall, noticing how it's moving.

It must be the shots.

You close your eyes for a second and feel someone grabbing your left hand.

Lando: It doesn't look good on you.

Yn: And why do you think I'd care about what you think?

Lando: I don't know, baby, why would you?

You look into his eyes, your heartbeat rising.

He takes a step closer to you, still holding your hand.

His eyes slide back to your hand, he takes off the ring.

Lando: Much better.

You're still not able to say anything.

Lando: If you ever get a ring that looks good on you, it will be because I gave it to you.

His words are heartwarming, but then you think about Lily.

Yn: Where's Lily?

His eyes drop to the floor.

Lando: If this is what you want, here's your ring.

He tosses the ring at you.

Yn: What I want? You're the one together with someone else without even bothering to break up with me.

Lando: And you're the one disappearing for a week.

Silence... If only he knew why she left...

Charlotte: Bathroom's free, I'll wait for you here.

Yn: Thanks.

You give Lando one last look, put your ring back on and close the bathroom door behind you.

You and Charlotte get back to the rest.

Charlotte: We should dubble date some time, maybe Max can convince Charles to think about marriage.

Yn: I'd love to, and I'm sure I can ask Max to make the suggestion with Charles.

You and Charlotte dance the night away, dancing together.

Max and Charles can't take their eyes off you, you and Charlotte both look hot and you know it.

Max takes your hand, and starts dancing with you.

Max: I love you.

You smile at him and give him a kiss.
