After sliding back to the ground the couple went back to making breakfast. When it was done. Ruthie shooed Martin to his chair and she proceeded to server him breakfast. After all the work that he'd done last night it was the least she could do. Martin and Ruthie sat in relative silence with the exception of the occasional goofy grin followed by a chuckle. Ruthie sat much closer to Martin this morning. When Martin wasn't catching her eye it was because she was looking at her engagement ring. This also brought a smile to both of their faces.
"So when do we break the news to our folks?" Martin asked.
It was with that question that reality came crashing down upon Ruthie. Ruthie let out a sigh and then quickly formulated a plan.
"Martin can we not tell our parents about the engagement just yet?" Ruthie inquired.
Martin had a boggled look on his face as he wondered why. Finally curiosity got to the better of him and Martin asked, "Why don't you want to tell your parents about us?" Martin questioned.
Ruthie got up walked over to her future husband and said, "Martin, you know I love you with all of my heart. It's just I want to tell them at our own time when we feel it's special."
"Sure. If that's what you want." Martin said understanding her logic completely.
"Are you positive? I mean I know you must want to scream out loud, SHE SAID YES!" Ruthie stated, "Based on the look on your face just before you picked me up and twirled me around that is."
"I won't lie and say that I want the whole world to know that you're going to be my wife but at the same time I have no problem with us waiting till we want to tell everyone." Martin said.
"Precisely. Because you know the moment we tell my mom and Lucy that they are going to want to know when we are getting married and then we won't have a moment's peace until that day arrives." Ruthie stated.
"We can always elope like Matt and Sarah." Martin replied with a smile on his face.
"The only difference is that I won't have anyone to confide my secret with." Ruthie smartly retorted.
"Sure you do. Just, tell Matt and Sarah. They owe you." Martin acknowledged.
"It would serve them right, but I don't know if Matt and Sarah can keep a secret… well, maybe Matt." Ruthie replied.
"In all seriousness do you have an idea of when you would like to get married?" Martin asked.
"Not yet. I think I want to enjoy just being engaged first, after we're done with the school year, then we can start making plans for the rest of our lives." Ruthie responded.
"So… Ruthie Brewer," Martin voiced just to hear it for the first time aloud, "What would you like to do today?
"Mmmmm Ruthie Brewer," The young brunette replied, "I love the sound of that."
"You'd better get use to it; people are going to be calling you that for the rest of your life." Martin exclaimed.
"I can live with that." Ruthie adamantly stated as Martin leaned over and placed a passionate kiss on Ruthie's tender, warm lips.
