Her knee kept bouncing up and down, showing the only sign that she had something on her mind. It made her coworkers glance at her from the corner of their eyes. Lily had been this way for the past few days. It was the middle of the week and the redhead was always a picture of calm and together; except today. The offices of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement were usually quiet and still; employees only moving when necessary. However, to see the Lily Evans so restless seemed to unnerve the rest of the employees.
It was nearing time to leave and it was only when Lily saw those around her packing up their things that she shifted. She gathered her own things as she walked to the floo network. Noticing the lines and the amount of wizards and witches around her, Lily took a right and decided to take the long way home. James was on a mission and probably wouldn't be home until far after supper time.
As she laid on their couch, the travel tiring her enough to want to nap, her thoughts took over once more. It had been five days. Five whole days since she saw it. It still glimmered in her memory and every time her eyes looked at it, her heart jumped. Merlin, what was he waiting for. He had made no hint or mention of the ring that was tucked away in his sock drawer; merlin, didn't the boy know she would find it? She had discovered said jewelry when she was putting away their laundry and she had jumped back in surprise.
She had spoken small hints here and there, hoping he'd get that she was ready for him to ask. Lily wouldn't be sticking around if she didn't see a future in the long run with him. It made her fidget on the couch once more. The redhead was frustrated and impatient. All she wanted was for him to ask her already so she could just say yes!
