Face listen to Adra berate him verbally. He hadn't quite expected this. He made a mental not to get back at Nicola for the "practical proposal" thing. She'd known that Adra would do this. Thinking quickly, he slipped off the couch and on to one knee before her. Retaking one of her hands in his, his left hand groped in his flightsuit pocket for a small box.

"Adra, the love of my life, the brightest and most beautiful star in the galaxy, I meant never to offend you. I live only to stay with you everyday. Could you possibly find it in your heart to forgive me for the offense you took of my words before? They were meant only as compliments for you, m'love. I had thought that you would prefer a shorter proposal without the romantic, flowery language. I see now that I was mistaken."

Finding the box, he pulled it out and held it in one hand behind his back. Deciding to lay the flowery and romantic language on thick, he continued on. "I would compare thee to the stars and moons with thee were there heavenly bodies pretty enough to describe thee, my one true love. If thou wouldst not accept mine first proposal, wouldst thou accept mine second one and this small token of mine affection here?"

The hand hidden behind his back came around, the small box in hand. Opening it, her presented it to her. A flawless Gallinore gem with an off- white Krayt Dragon Pearl on either side, was mounted on a small golden band. In plain language, a very tastefully expensive engagement ring.

Keeping the hand with the box up, he brought the hand holding her to him, kissing her hand, his eyes never leaving her face.

*Author's Note: Yes, this will make absolutely no sense unless you've read AdraLoran's Why the Force Not?. Yes, you should probably read my Don't Mess With a Wraith too. Our stories take place in am AU. And yes, I forgot to do this before but I don't really own any of this. LucasFilms does. Oh yes, and I'm going to be nice and give Kel the credit that she deserves for this, even if I don't get it in her stories. Adra's "rant" in chapter 2 was written by her, since Adra is her character and could do much better at it than I have. And yes, these chapters are short, and yes this will be a mere 4-chapter story. It was written because Kel bribed me with 2 new chapters for WTFN. Anyways, happy reading!
