Emmerdale's Rhona Goskirk has been waiting for the right moment to surprise Marlon Dingle with a grand gesture.
Last week, Marlon was not happy to discover Rhona had been in contact with Pierce’s son, Marcus, and that she knew Pierce died before he told her.
But Rhona is planning a proposal will solidify the relationship.

Monday's episode saw Rhona tell Vanessa of her plans to pop the question.
She said: "I'm going to get seven boxes, and I'm gonna get the kids to write letters on each of them and spread them out as a huge 'Marry me' wall"
Before she could finish, Vanessa interjected: "I think you just need to ask him."
Rhona replied: "What about the big gesture?" and Vanessa explained she had taken to long and needed to act.
Later scenes showed Rhona stumble over her words as she and Marlon drank hot chocolates in the café, and with Brenda eavesdropping she asked if they could go outside.
But as Marlon closed his eyes and Rhona dropped to one knee, they were interrupted by a car backfiring.
Inside, was Rhona's mum Mary - played by Louise Jameson.
What Mary is doing in the village, and whether Rhona will get to propose, both remain to be seen.
But some viewers may recognise Mary from elsewhere, or perhaps even a previous stint in Emmerdale many moons ago.
Louise Jameson played Sharon Crossthwaite in the Yorkshire-based soap in 1973.
She also played Rosa Di Marco in EastEnders from 1998-2000.
Louise has had roles in other TV dramas, such as Casualty, Doctors and Doc Martin.
Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
