Ainsley's back is to him until they're well into the room, when she puts the muffin wrapper on the table. It's only then that she turns around in time to see Sam down on his knees in front of her and holding out a ring. Her eyes widen in shock because it's true they've always talked about this being permanent and forever, but things get a lot more serious when there's jewelry on the table. "Sam," she gets out, more of a breath than a word. "It's so beautiful."

She can understand what he's intending to do, but she wants to be at his side no matter what. Rather than saying yes, though, she's already on step number two. "You can't tell the press about this tonight, not with your win," she says stubbornly. "We don't want to co-opt the news cycle, it's important to focus on you winning the tight race."
