"I didn't know they let people do that...."

"I guess it's because he knows everyone there."

"....that would help." He moved his fingers on her hand and noticed the smooth metal. "Did he give you a present...?"

2016-06-18 05:59:59

●

"...." She bit her lip. Oh boy. How is he going to react? "...He proposed to me."

2016-06-18 06:01:32

🌀

"...what did he propose?" Zane was not a morning person.

2016-06-18 06:02:24

●

"...I'm engaged."

2016-06-18 06:02:54

🌀

"......." He sat up and reached for his dresser, picking up a target-patterned stress ball and squeezing it almost to the breaking point.

●

She sat up as well. Not too well obviously. "You're not happy."

2016-06-18 06:06:49

🌀

"....I am.....frustrated. Happy for you, yes. .....I was going to propose first, but I could....not /afford/ to...."

2016-06-18 06:30:08

●

"Wait...you were?" She grew and sounded confused.

2016-06-18 06:30:50

🌀

".....yes.....I guess.....I can't now, though......" ...he thought he'd be able to first. He had some kind of head start, after all, having started saving /months/ ago, and having dated her longer.

2016-06-18 06:32:29

●

"Wait...why...?" It wasn't like she was special or anything. "I'd be a horrible wife."

2016-06-18 06:33:37

🌀

".....no? I would have loved to marry you.....I am....too late, though......" He lowered his head and the mangled piece of material.

2016-06-18 06:38:41

●

"Why would it be too late?"

2016-06-18 06:39:25

🌀

".......you are already marrying him. I think that means.....you have to.........break up with........"

2016-06-18 06:40:24

●

"No?"

2016-06-18 06:40:34

🌀

"....but that is a lifelong commitment. This is just dating."

2016-06-18 06:41:58

●

"Lance can minister pagan weddings. Pagans married multiple people for dowry as well as love. Hell, he was going to even do mine and his."

2016-06-18 06:43:36

🌀

".........like in India?" He rubbed a couple of tears out of his eyes.

2016-06-18 06:44:29

●

"Yes. Like in India." She reach over and brushed the tears out for him.

2016-06-18 06:44:47

🌀

".....so I can still...?......"

2016-06-18 06:47:11

●

"Yes."

2016-06-18 06:47:30

🌀

He reached over and hugged her. He didn't want to lose her just because he was too poor to propose. That would be pathetic....

2016-06-18 06:48:52

●

She returned the hug and kissed him. "Now cheer up."

2016-06-18 06:49:41

🌀

He kissed her back. "....sorry. I was just worried that was my punishment for losing...."
