Summary
“Hey,” he offers David a smile. “Same as yesterday?”
He gets a pressed smile in return, like he wasn’t expecting Patrick to remember him. “Yeah, it’s—”
“Caramel macchiato, skim, two sweeteners and a sprinkle of cocoa powder,” Patrick recites as he makes his way behind the counter. He picks up a paper cup. “It’s not that complicated.”
David gives him an unamused look. “My accommodations don’t have a coffee maker,” he offers. “Or an espresso machine. Just a plug-in kettle.”
Patrick gives a low whistle as he preps an espresso shot. “Must be rough.”

Summary
“Uh, nope. They’re coming here actually.” David’s stomach churns. It wasn’t his idea, nor was it Patrick’s, but now that David’s family is actually making an effort to see each other more often, Alexis insisted on the jaunt. “They fly in on the twenty-third and leave the day after Christmas. I’m going to need a lot of Xanax to get through it all, which I will be stealing from my mother.”
--
A few years after David settles in Mistmill, the Roses come to celebrate the holidays. He’s just trying to get through it all in one piece, even if Patrick and Stevie are adamant on trolling him.

Summary
“No restaurant proposals,” Patrick adds aloud, ticking it off on his fingers as he goes. “No scavenger hunts, champagne is a yes, but the ring has to not be in it...Nowhere there could be a hidden photographer standing by, although it might be nice...”
Rachel hums down the line. “God forbid David isn’t put together for once,” she jokes. “So nothing cheesy. Or public.”
“No.”
“Kinda hard when you’re proposing."
___There are five times in which Patrick nearly proposes to David, several conversations about it, and one time where he actually does.
