"I....I...I...Yes! Oh yes! I can't beleive this! It's so wonderful Ephram! I love you so much!"

By now both of them and tears pouring down thier faces. Ephram stood up and so did Amy, and he slid the ring onto Amy's finger. It was a perfect fit, and the two of them hugged and kissed eachother until they realized it was time for them to go to the prom. They hurried to the limo and got in. Amy wiped the tears from her eyes and fixed her makeup, laughing.

"Look at me I'm a mess!"

Ephram looked at her, but she looked gorgeous to him.

"You look beautiful, Amy, as usual."

He smiled, and she blushed. The two didn't stop staring at eachother until the limo pulled up in front of the country club where the prom was being held. They thanked the limo driver and asked him to be there at midnight. They walked arm in arm up to the building and waved to a couple people they knew. They soon found Brite inside, but when they approached they noticed Colin was there with a cheerleader. Everyone stopped smiling when Amy and Ephram approached.

"Hi Donna."

Amy glanced at Colin's date, Donna. She and Amy used to be good friends, until she started going out with Colin. She had sworn she hated him not too long before they had broken up.

"Hi Amy."

"Amy....what's that?"

Brite pointed to Amy's ring. She tucked it behind her dress skirt.

"A ring... So, the club is beautiful, huh?"

Brite tried to see the ring but gave up, shooting a look of suspicion at Ephram. They all soon got to talking, but not too far into the coversation, Brite asked Amy to step into the lobby with him for a second. She looked annoyed and nervous, and followed Brite into the lobby with a backwards glance at Ephram.

"What....is THAT?"

Brite grabbed Amy's hand and jabbed his finger at the ring.

"Gee, Brite, all these years of being alive and you STILL don't know the word for RING?"

"Don't play stupid with me, Amy, what the hell is going on?"

"Well, if you are so smart, Brite, why don't you take a guess?"

Brite knew what it was. He knew that his little sister was now engaged. He wanted to scream, but instead he hugged her. And walked back into the ballroom. Suprised at his calmness, Amy followed her brother. When they got back to the dancefloor, Brite grabbed Ephram's arm and stepped to the side of the room with him.

"I'm gonna say this once, I'm glad it was you, and not Colin. You are serious about her, and I know you'll take care of her. Welcome to the family."

Ephram looked at him, and before he knew it, Brite hugged him.

"Oh, and, you ever hurt her, I'll kill you."

That was more like it.
