Author's Notes: We are slowly coming to a close! I'm quite happy that we're almost there. This fanfic sure brought on some heartache and love. ;w;

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters you see in here. Just the plot. Based on HarvestMoonAddict/Regardless1604's Rival Couples Theme Challenge.

Gwen covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes quickly brimming with tears. She had expected for this day to come. Although she knew it would happen when they were kids, she slowly grew out of it as she became older and hoped that Bob would never bring up the question.

She pulled her hands away and smiled. Taking the blue feather from his hands, she held it close to her heart. It was his mothers blue feather. It had been a tradition within the Starling family to pass the feather down to one of their children. Now it was hers and she would do her very best to take care of it.

"Yes," she whispered. "Yes I will."
