"Now we cross to Tammy Winters in our Boston studio who is joined by Marcello Morretti, owner and CEO of Sparrow Industries."
"Thank you Frank." Tammy says with the fakest smile. Tammy smiles at the camera before turning her attention to the people on the couch next to her. "Good morning America today I'm with Marcello Morretti. Good morning Marc."
"Good morning Tammy. Thank you for having me." Marc replies with his signature panty dropping smirk.
"Marc would you like to introduce the gorgeous girl you have with you today."
Anna tenses almost instantly when the attention is turned to her. This is the first TV interview Anna has done in her life but it is the first time she is being officially introduced with Marc.
Anna nervously runs a hand through her curly red mop of hair. It has been six months since Marcello brought her back from Italy.
Marcello takes Anna's hand in his.
"This," Marc squeeze her hand, "is Anastasia Carmichael-Ferraro. While Anna and I have been photographed a lot together I thought it was about the country meet my beautiful girlfriend officially."
"Well thank you for giving me the opportunity." Tammy says with a giggle. "So Anna you realise you have been making a lot of women angry over the last six months."
"Not my intention." Anna laughs.
"Anastasia and I have actually been together from a year and a half." Marc clarifies.
"Oh wow. You must be serious about her then."
"We are living together." Marc says simply and the crowd makes the 'awe' sound.
"What is it you do Anna?"
"I work with all things computers. I studied I.T at MIT and spent five months in Italy working as the Head of the IT department for Ferraro Inc."

"Ferraro Inc. is the company previously owned by your grandfather?"
"Yes now Marcello owns it, but my family remain as management."
"Did you always want to invest in Ferraro Inc. Marc?"
"I always had interest but when it presented itself as an opportunity to have Anna back in Boston I jumped at the chance." Marc smiles at Anna.
"You are a lucky girl." Tammy gushes.
"I believe I'm the lucky one." Marc corrects.
Again the crowd makes the 'awe' sound.
"Well you two are just adorable." Tammy giggles again and Anna shakes her head at how fake this woman is.
"Can I ask about your brother and his beautiful family?" Tammy asks.
"Of course." Marc says with a smile. "Luciano and Eddison of course welcomed little Arlo six months ago. He is very cute luckily he takes after his mother."
"I understand Eddison went into Labour at a party."
"Yes she did. Anna's welcome home party actually." Marc says.
"Oh eventful."
"It is a wonder Marcello remembers." Anna says with a laugh.
"Why do you say that?"
"I'm the one that had to get poor Eddie to the car. Marcello and Luciano both went catatonic at the sight of a labouring pregnant woman." Anna jokes and the crowd laughs.
"Marc I expected better from you." Tammy feigns disappointment.
"I'm sorry Tammy I expected better from myself as well. The truth is, in that moment seeing someone I love, someone who has been in my life for more than half my life, I froze. I have spent the last six months apologising to Eddie. Maybe I'll be better when it is my own child."
Marc makes the crowd 'awe' and Anna rolls her eyes.

"Thank you for joining me today you two. Now we have to cross back to the rest of the team. Frank?"
"Thanks Tammy and thank you Marc and Anna."
The audio cuts and Tammy's smile fades slightly. The three stand from the couches.
"Thanks guys that was great." She says with less enthusiasm then before. "Promise to give me all the scoops?" She asks jokingly.
"Well actually..." Marc says dropping down onto one knee.
"Ohmygodohmygod!" Tammy gasps.
"What are you doing?" Anna asks through gritted teeth.
"Anastasia we have been through a lot in our relationship. More than normal couple but I wouldn't change a thing. I love you more than anything and I'm pretty sure I loved you the day I saw you through the coffee bean window. You are smart, beautiful and kind and I wouldn't change you for the world. Today I'm asking you a question, I'm claiming you, taking you as mine. Will you make me the happiest man on the planet?"
Anna stares at Marc wide eyed as he pulls out a ring with a diamond the size of a plum.
She looks from Marc to the ring and back again completely lost for words.
"Anna?"
"Y-yes." Anna whispers. Marc grins as he pushes the ring onto her finger. It fits perfectly which makes Anna wonder just how long he has been planning this.
Marc pulls Anna into his chest and he can't help but laugh and the cameramen and producers trying to get the shot. Tammy throwing orders around knowing she got the best 'scoop'.
"I love you Anastasia."
"I love you more Marcello."
