"Since he's living with someone he was going to get married to."

"Ohhh, yeahhh, that would be awkward." "...where is the ring, by the way?"

"My room. Jewelry box."

"So you did not get rid of it? ...good."

"No. I'm not /that/ mean."

"You seemed like you did not want it after finding out how expensive it was..."

2016-05-28 05:49:34

●

"Well yeah I'd just give it back to him at worst."

2016-05-28 05:51:04

"But that would be almost as bad as just getting rid of it, he has nothing else to do with it and it is probably too late to return it."

"Would you rather I lecture him for lying to me?"

2016-05-28 05:53:02

"No, not really...."

2016-05-28 05:53:19

●

"Exactly. Besides, it's not like we're getting married now."

2016-05-28 05:54:13

"...would you consider marrying someone else?"

2016-05-28 05:55:38

●

"Mhmm."

2016-05-28 05:55:56

"Really?" Ren suddenly gave her their full attention.

2016-05-28 05:56:24

●

"Of course."

2016-05-28 05:56:44

"...oh." They looked at each other. Ren grinned. Not if they got their first. They got up and ran upstairs to their computer.

Ivory looked confused. "What?"

2016-05-28 05:59:16

🌀

"....I need to go now Ivory goodbye." He gave her another kiss, got up, and left very quickly.

"...uh...bye?" What the hell just happened.

The two of them left her alone, there was the sound of a door opening and closing. Lance came downstairs. "Hey La-" "Come with me." he grabbed his car keys. "Just come with me. I want to hang out with you alone." She stood up. "Oh...um...okay." She then followed him to the car.

I was out grocery shopping, and the Christmas publicity was out in full force already. Lights, advertisements, and ornaments were everywhere, and it was a little stifling. I don't know what to think about holidays. I never had anyone to celebrate them with. ...either way, it's only November, so it's not like Christmas matters yet. ....not like Christmas matters. I sound like an old stooge. I looked through the windows to toy shops and department stores as I headed for the closest Wal-Mart. I passed by a small stationery shop and noticed a display of embossed pens and journals. I paused for a second. I have a pen and nothing to write in. A journal might be....

Mikael wandered through aisles of dresses, looking incredibly out of place as he looked for something Hanna might like for Christmas. Yes, it was a bit early, but he didn't know if he'd have time to shop later, and his recent pay raise meant he could afford to buy something nice ahead of time. If it went well, maybe he could even propose to her on Christmas Day. He exited the women's section without finding anything noteworthy and went to buy some new architect pencils for now. He heard a familiar voice humming a tune before he reached the section and stopped short, peering around the corner of the aisle to see Hanna browsing a display of personalized pens. She glanced up, and he ducked behind the corner again. What was she doing here? He heard her pause, then footsteps as she left. Strange.

Long before Christmas, she asked to meet him at her place for a surprise. She handed him a long ribbon-wrapped box the second he opened the door, smiling, and he unwrapped it curiously. It was the dark blue fountain pen he'd seen her looking at in the store, now engraved with a large cursive 'M'. "Happy birthday, sweetie. Congratulations on your promotion." She put her hand in his and kissed him gently.

People stared at the strange man standing in front of a window for ten minutes before he shook himself a little, causing some onlookers to jump back in surprise. Was that his birthday? ....what day was it? From the memory, it seemed like...today? Tomorrow? Well, it was just past midnight. Looks like today.

He arrived back home with a fresh supply of necessities, a little dazed, and Seculus looked up from his book. "...are you alright?...." "...I think I just found out my birthday." "Oh...oh! Really? Well, that's fantastic. When is it?" "...today?" "...come on. Let's go find Ivory." Seculus stood up, dropped everything he was doing, and pulled Madison back out the front door. He came back inside a moment later to put the groceries away, but then right back out.

Recently Lance had been doing everything possible to hang out with Ivory for some reason. He just really wouldn't let her be alone. She didn't mind, she wanted to spend more time with him. Currently they were playing LIFE together, and Lance was winning.

Seculus let go of Madison's hand to knock on the door, smiling a bit more than he had been recently. Madison just looked confused. What were they doing here?

Ivory moved to the door and answered it. Oh. They were here. "Hey." She greeted. Well Seculus looked happy. That's good.

"Hello. ....guess whose birthday it is?"
