imareporterWho?: Eddie and Anne
What?: Their first Christmas as a couple comes with a surprise.
When: Prior to the events of the movie.
Basically: How Anne and Eddie got engaged? How Eddie and Anne got engaged.

It is so weird being in Anne's apartment.
Everything is so...mature. It always smells great, she's hung paintings instead of powers (though in his defense his posters were framed.) but he has an office and she has an office and it's so...professional.
The thing though was that she was wild for Christmas. Absolutely insane about it. Trumpets, a big beautiful warm tree with soft ornaments hanging on the lower branches for Mr. Belvedere to knock off (damn cat.) but there are candles and the place smells good and he just...
They're off for two weeks on the Brock report for Christmas and Eddie has everything planned. Church on Christmas Eve, opening gifts for each other the next morning and then, in a private and intimate moment (she wasn't a public proposal kind of girl) he'd get down on one knee and propose.
It's way too soon dude. that was Hector for you. She's gonna say no and Christmas is gonna be fucking ruined for you forever.
I say go for it. She's all you can talk about and holy shit - you are clean. Are you showering regularly Brock?
What can I say she's a good influence.
Laughs all around, but truth was she was a good influence. The best influence. The kind of influence that could compel him to cut his hair, trim his beard, watch his diet, because he wanted to spend time with her. To listen to her talk. To make her feel better.
He'd been carrying the ring on his person pretty obsessively. Flipping open the box to make sure it was still there - silver (she liked silver didn't she?) and a decent sized stone. Tracing it with his finger he smiled broadly. Anne I want to spend the rest of my life taking care of you and have a thousand Christmases together...
He's focused on the ring so intently he might not notice the door opening.
