She looked at him with excitement. He smiled brightly and nodded. She ripped the gift open so excited that she had to grin. She took out a box a bit bigger than two hooves. She blinked, looking at him. It was locked but it didn’t come with a key.

He pointed at her chest where she found the key he gifted her half a year ago. Her eyes glowed with joy as she unlocked it and opened the box to find a book in it.

“A silent Good-Night” was its title. She smiled as she took it out. Under the book she found was a framed picture of the two at the gala and her eyes glowed even brighter and his heart made a big jump as she turned towards him, smiling with tears in her eyes. She jumped at him, pulling him in for a thight hug.

He smiled and tried to let go of her because he couldn’t breathe from the tight grasp. She let go, hey eyes still sparkling, He proudly smiled back and pointed at the book to show her that she should start reading right away. She nodded excited and made herself comfortable and opened the cover and started reading.

The story was about a stallion that fell in love with a mare but never dared asking her out because he couldn’t even speak. He was afraid that a beautiful mare like her would never love somepony that couldn’t speak at all. After a while he finally got the courage to ask her and the two lived together.

What stood in her mind was the last chapter even though it was the shortest:

I love her so much, I can’t describe it. Her beautiful mane, her soft coat are the only I ever want to look at. Her plot will always be the only one I would stare at. Her eyes are the only ones that catch my gaze. Her smile is the most beautiful smile that I have ever seen. Her voice is the only one I don’t bother to listen to, even her silence is special to me.

Her touch is the only that I am longing for, her kiss is the only one I desire, her company is the only one I need and her husband is what I want to be.

I want her to be all mine. From the bottom of her hooves to the tip of her ears I want her to mine and mine alone. I will never accept to see her with anyone else. I will do anything to make her life perfect. I wish I could tell her that but I am destined to just smile and nod. I can’t tell her that I love her. That is why I want her to feel it. I will show her my love as good as I can.

So, my dearest angel, you read this story before anypony else. And this is our story like you’ve already guessed. I hope that you understand… that I will never let anyone else have you, I want you to be all mine. So I ask you here in this story:

“Do you want to marry me?”

When she closed the book the day was nearly over. She looked at him, a smile crawling from her heart to her lips. She opened her mouth to say something but decided, not to say anything. She took a pen from the table and not minding his surprised look she wrote something on the last page:

I will marry you. I want nothing more. There is one thing I want to ask of you. When you marry me you have to share all your love and care with me and your foal.

She gave him the book and he read. Again. Again. And Again. He looked at her, tears now filling his eyes before he wrapped his hooves around her in a gently grasp. He nodded with the brightest of smiles across his face.

As the two fell asleep on the couch, wrapped in each other’s hooves the moon shone above the skyscraper, sending out a silent Good-Night.
