"That's good to hear."
"And anyway, this dinner is not the gift I bought for you," Remus said merrily. Leslie looked up in surprise.
"It's not? But this is lovely Remus and surely its enough," she countered, "there's no where else I'd rather be or anyone else I'd rather be with on Christmas than here with you."
Remus beamed.
"That's just it," he said softly, "we've wasted so much time not admitting it to ourselves. I think it's about time we faced the facts."
Leslie stayed silent. She did not know what to say. The only sound in the room was the rhymic crackling of the candles. The candlelight fell softly on their features and Leslie felt a tingle run up her spine. With a smile, Remus stood and then knelt on one knee by the side of her chair. Leslie took a deep breath. Her heart was beating furiously in her chest. Remus reached into his robes and took out a small velvet case. He smiled brightly as he opened it. Leslie stared at the ring inside it. The ring was simple and beautiful with one diamond stone in the center and a smaller diamond on either side of it. The gold band shone brightly in the candlelight.
"Leslie Brand," Remus said quietly, "there is no person I would rather spend the rest of my life with than you. I never thought I could be truly happy again. I never thought I could love someone again, with all my heart. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?"
Leslie stared at Remus. Was this really happening? His smile faltered for a moment as Leslie kept silent. Seeing this Leslie knew she had to speak. A smile slowly spread across her face.
"Yes," she breathed, "yes I'll marry you!"
Remus cried out in happiness and put the ring on Leslie's finger. As they both stood, laughing happily, Leslie threw her arms around Remus' neck and they kissed. It was the happiest moment of both their lives.
A/N: Aww, isn't that sweat? I know its a sort of cheesy ending of a long chapter but how do you want a proposal to go? The story should pick up and become more exciting and action packed from here on so keep on reading! Ok, now review!
