Chapter Ten

The Question

"They probably haven't even thought of marriage yet. But if you do get married, I better be invited." Everybody laughed. "So do you think they could have it?" Lex said.
"I'll tell you what, the price was originally $95,000, but I can bring it down. If you can bring me at least $1,000 deposit I'll let you have it for...$34,000. It seems as though no one else wants this house, and you two kids seem like a happy couple, and if you do get married, it will be a happy one, and I wish you the best of luck." The realtor gave them her card. "Here's my card, call me with your decision." She got into her car and drove off.
"Wow! She dropped the price by $30,000!" Chloe said.
"So do you guys want it?"
"Yeah, but can you afford it? Stupid question, nevermind."
"Then it's yours, let me call her up and tell her. I'll give her the deposit tomorrow, and she will get all of it with the deposit. So you two can begin to move your stuff in today. But I better get back so I can get the money, call her up, and get the paper work ready for your job." Lex got into his car and left.
"So, what do you think? Should we start bringing our stuff over?"
"Yeah."

~Two Months Later~

"I'm so glad we're allowed to leave school early for work, and we're seniors so we don't have that much longer left, and if we are allowed to graduate mid-term we would only have to worry about college at a later time."
"Yeah, that's a good thing."
"What's wrong with you Ainu?"
"Nothing's wrong."
"You liar. Come on, no more lies, please."
"Okay, there is something on my mind."
"What?"
"It's easier just not to talk about it."
"What is?"
"I know you are trying to get it out of me, but it isn't going to work."
"Why not?"
"My mind is a bit preoccupied at the moment Venyatuima."
"Okay, I'm going to go put these snowglobes away."
"Ven, wait." Chloe turned towards Clark and saw him down on one knee with a ring in his hand. "Will you marry me?"
