Enjoy! I found myself really like Vic as I wrote this.
Vic grabbed the present out of Teddy's hand. The look on his face was priceless and she couldn't resist laughing.
"What was that for?" he asked, a smile blooming on his face.
"You did this to me Christmas. It's only fair I do this now," Vic said as she began to open it.
"You were taking forever to give it to me!"
"I was making a very touching speech!" Vic said indignantly as she took off all the wrapping paper. The gift was in a small, plain cardboard box.
"You were tipsy and talking about how good I was in bed. Everyone there was torn between killing me and laughing at me."
Vic grinned at the memory. It died when she opened the box.
A ring was in it. It was simple, a lone diamoned flanked two rubies with a gold band. Some woman might hate it.
She thought it was perfect.
She looked up at him with wide blue eyes. Teddy's hair was the same color as them, his eyes amber as they always were. Vic didn't know if he just couldn't change them or if he just refused to. Whatever the answer was, she didn't care.
She just always took comfort in those eyes. She wanted to wake up meeting them every morning.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Teddy Lupin," Vic said, her throat starting to close up with tears of happiness and joy. "You're getting married."
