Hey guys! This chapter was a lot of fun to write, and I hope it's fun to read! If you did like it, please feel free to leave a review. I didn't think of the lunar chronicles. Much to my dismay. All characters belong to Marissa Meyer.

My hands fluttered up to my mouth as I took in the scene. There he was, Thorne, down on one knee, while holding a tiny red velvet box with a ring inside. "Cress, you've given me everything I've ever wanted, even if I don't deserve it. He paused here so that he could flash me the crooked smile that I love so much. "You are the kindest, most beautiful, and perfect human being I've ever seen, and I can't wait another day to make you my wife. Cress, will you marry me?" I stood there like an idiot, unable to speak. How could he be so sure that he wanted me as his wife? Then I shook my head. "No?" He asked in disbelief. His face fell and he looked like he was about to burst into tears. "I'd say yes, I whispered. "But I think I might be dreaming." His face lit up with the brightest smile I had ever seen. He got up and wrapped his arms around me. Thorne whispered into my ear. "You're not dreaming, Cress. I love you with all my heart, and I want to spend every single moment with you." His arms were still wrapped around me, and when I finally took this all in, tears sprang to my eyes. "You mean I'm not dreaming?" I mumbled into his chest. He laughed softly and said: "No, Cress. So? Will you marry me?"

I couldn't believe it. But, "Yes. A thousand times. Yes." Even if it was a dream, I might as well make it a damn good dream. At this point, the waterworks were coming down hard. He pulled away and wiped them with his thumb. He took out the red box again and pulled out the ring. Thorne reached for my hand gently, as if he was afraid to break me. Thorne slid the ring onto my ring finger and held my hands. He looked into my eyes with those beautiful eyes of his, and I knew that this was a reality now. I was getting married to Carswell Thorne. Holy shit. "We're getting MARRIED!" I screamed in delight. He laughed at my enthusiasm, picked me up, and twirled me around. It was only when he set me down when I noticed our audience. There were a lot of people watching us, applauding, and hooting. Thorne slipped an arm around my waist and turned to them. "Thanks for sticking around everybody, and to celebrate the engagement to my beautiful fiancee"- the word made me blush- "I'd like to treat you to a free pass to this carnival for the next few days." At this, the applauding got significantly louder. I smiled at Thorne, and he leaned down to touch his lips to mine.

While we were driving home, I inspected the ring closely, for the first time. It was a simple gold band, with a small diamond in the center. It was perfect. I felt like it represented our love. Simple, but strong. I could feel Thorne's eyes on me, and I looked up into them. He looked sad for some reason. "Thorne? What's wrong?" I asked in concern.

"I wish I could get you a more expensive one. It was all I could afford. I'm sorry Cress. You deserve better." I looked at him incredulously. How could he think that? "Are you kidding me? This is the greatest thing I could ever imagine Thorne! The ring is perfect. I know that even if you gave me the option for a fancier ring, I would have chosen this one."

He looked confused. "But… I thought you wanted a fancy one to...adhere to your romantic fantasies."

I laughed. "Thorne, the ring isn't what matters the most, it's you. You gave me the ring, you chose it out, and you proposed. I couldn't have asked for anything else. I love you, Thorne.

While I had been talking, Thorne had looked back at the road, but when I said that last bit, he glanced at me. "Really? Are you sure it's okay?"

I grinned. "Perfectly perfect."
