Soran and I walked to my room together. He and I had hardly eaten at the party so we ordered a few plates of food and talked. "Favorite color?" he asked. "Don't laugh." I urged. He smiled and put a hand on his heart. "pink." I replied shyly. "Pink?" I could tell he was suppressing a laugh, but all I could do was watch him smile until he burst into a fit of laughter. "I know, it's a very girly color." I added, still staring at him. "Ok my turn." I said once he calmed down. "Favorite book?" I asked. "That's a tough one." He stared at me for a good five minutes before replying, "Unknown II" he smiled at my confused face. "It doesn't have a name; it's a blank faced book with a fairy tale inside it." he stood up and walked over to the couch. As he sat I asked, "What is the fairy tale about?" I stood as well and walked over to the couch in front of the fireplace. He motioned for me to sit next to him. I did. "It's about a human that falls in love with a faerie. It's quite beautiful. The woman turns into a faerie in the end and they live happily ever after." I leaned against him and rested my head on his shoulders. We sat there, watching the fire for what seemed like forever. I didn't want this to end, this moment. I wish it would go on forever.
He picked my head up and turned it to face him; I adjusted my body to do the same. "I love you Evalin." He said and cupped my face. "I love you too." I smiled. His eyes were filled with joy and he leaned closer and kissed me. When he pulled away he said, "Marry me." his forehead rested against mine and I looked into his eyes. "What?" I asked. I knew it would come eventually, but I didn't think he would ask so soon. He stood up off the couch and got on one knee. I covered my mouth with one hand and started to breathe fast. "Will you, Evalin Whitehorn Galathynuis, marry me?" he took a box out of his pocket and opened it. A gasp came from me as I stared at the ring. It was shaped in a circle with little diamonds surrounding one in the center. "Yes! Yes!" I said once I regained my breath. He picked me up and laid me on my bed. He was on top of me, staring in my eyes; I felt the ring slide onto my finger. "There, now it's official." He smiled and we kissed until our lips were swollen.
