It was a typical day for Maddie, who works as a candy counter girl at the Hotel that morning. There was no school that day so she was assigned by Mr. Moseby to cover the morning shift. The customers aren't awake yet that early so she just sat there, and read some magazines.

Suddenly, the elevator opened and Zack came out running towards Maddie.

"Maddie!", he called her in between his breaths.

She looked surprised upon seeing him.

"Zack! What are you doing here this early?", she put the magazine down and stood up.

"Maddie," he said, "We need to talk. This is urgent." he slowly catches his breath.

Maddie gave him a confused look, and asked, "Urgent? Why, what happened?". She got nervous and worried because Zack isn't usually this serious. In fact, this is the only time she saw him like that.

"Come!", he pulled her arm and dragged her down the hallway where no one can see them.

"Zack, what are you doing? What's wrong? I can't leave the counter too long.," she's still puzzled with Zack's behavior

"Maddie," he looked directly into her eyes, "We are moving out of this hotel next week."

She looked surprised. "Really? Why?"

"My mom's contract here is finished and she's offered a job in another hotel, and we may never see each other again" , he said, still serious.

"Oh... Well, good luck to your mom! I will miss you Zack, and also Cody. Are we gonna have a farewell party before you leave?", she asked, not aware of what's goin' on in Zack's mind.

"That's not what I want to do, Maddie. I'm thinking of something else."

She shrugged and asked, "What is it?"

He looked at her and held her hand.

"Marry me."
