Two divorcees have been dating for a couple of years. They've been through a lot, but it led to them finding each other.

He's still fighting with his ex about seeing the kids. He loves them, but she hates him.

With the benefit of hindsight, he understands why.

He was always angry.

Angry about his football team. Angry about his football team's rivals.

For years his wife shared a living room, car, bed and future with a man who was there in body but not in mind.

Divorce was the best thing that ever happened to him.

He gained some perspective and was able to accept the role his behaviour had played in the break-up.

Then he met his new partner and swore he wouldn't repeat those mistakes.

Three years they've been together now.

A holiday in Paris on their anniversary. City of love.

He couldn't be about to propose could he?

She hated herself for thinking about it, as she knew if he didn't she'd end up resenting him for it and that's hardly his fault.

On the other hand, what else is she meant to expect?

Paris on their anniversary? Of course he's going to propose!

She spent months following the couch to 5k plan and treated herself to a new dress so she could look her best when the magic moment came.

He booked one of those special Eiffel Tower tours that mean you can go up as the sun sets and it's not too crowded.

Any minute now. Any minute now.

He definitely looks like he's up to something.

Sure enough, he puts his hand into his pocket...

...pulls out his phone and films himself shouting "CAN YOU SEE THE RANGERS COMING? I CAN'T JANET, CAN YOU? CANNAE SEE A FUCKIN' THING HOHO!"
