Dorothy's dept was almost repaid. In fact, it would be in a day. She started packing her clothing and various presents from Roger and Norman. Roger and Norman seemed to have forgotten she wasn't going to be with them forever so there was no going-away party.
The next day she woke up before everyone else. She walked out the door and headed off to nowhere in particular, just hoping to find some sort of shelter, or maybe she could stay at the police station.
It was raining hard and she had no umbrella. Since no stores were open at the hour, she just sat beneath a tree with leaves thick enough to block most of the water. It wasn't that she wanted to stay dry; just that her things were important to her and she didn't want them wet.
"DOROTHY!" a voice called out. 'It was Roger,' she thought. If I don't leave now, I probably never have the chance again. She got up, covered her things the best she could and started walking in the opposite direction. "Dorothy!" He was running in his PJs with an umbrella (which he wasn't using) and soon caught up to her.
"You're really leaving?" he asked.
She stopped but didn't turn around. "Yes. I am a burden to you. Am I not? I wake you up in the morning, complain about your style, I called you a louse.."
"You can stay." He insisted.
"You want me to?"
"Well, yes.." he said. She waited for him to say what was on his mind. He was hiding something and she could sense it. "Dorothy! Don't you even care? Maybe even a little for me and for Norman? You've been with us three years! You even laughed a few times! Don't you care. I know you are human enough if you can make friends with a cat."
"You.. you care for me? Like me?" she asked in a confused voice. She didn't think anyone could like an android like her..
"Yes. I do care. I like you a lot."
"What about money? I wouldn't be able to pay for food and such."
"That's okay. We could get legal papers and things.. you could be my-"
"Daughter? Or maybe your sister?" she suggested.
"Or my wife," he said. Dorothy turned to face him. "Dorothy, I meant to tell you a long time ago.. I love you." She walked up to him, leaned up and kissed his neck. Roger buried her in his arms.
"Roger, please, take me home."
"Yeah, sure." He opened up the umbrella and half carried, have dragged her back to the mansion. They stopped at the overhang of the roof in above the front door and knelt down. "Dorothy? Will you marry me?"
Her blank eyes stared into his for what seemed an eternity before she nodded. "Yes.. I will.."
He drew a ring from his pocket and slipped it onto her finger. It was a 4 karat diamond set in platinum. It fit her finger like it was custom made (it was). He stood up. The door opened. "Hello Master Roger! Hello Miss Dorothy!" He beckoned them in. "What are you two doing up so early?"
"Uh.. nothing Norman. Oh and Norman?"
"Yes?"
"Which room in this house do you think will be the best to hold a wedding in?"
"A wedding?" he asked, startled. He glanced at Dorothy's hand.
"Well, maybe the room with the plants?" he suggested.
"Great! Thanks Norman." He and Dorothy went to eat breakfast. "Dorothy, which bed do you want? Which is the best one?"
"Which ever one you're in."
He laughed.
