Tea and Flowers
Chapter 5: Diamond
Cid was wolfing down his diner once again, still not looking at Shera; he had avoided her eye for days.
'Er, Captain…' Shera interrupted.
'Yup?' Cid stopped eating and looked at his boots.
'What are these really for?' She pulled the note and two flowers from her pocket. Cid looked at Shera's face, just not her eyes.
'They're to say thanks for stuff' Cid mumbled.
'Hmm, yeah' Shera frowned, unconvinced.
'I-I've got one more to give you' Cid put his hand in his jacket pocket.
'Can I have it now, or is it going to be a surprise?' Shera smiled gently.
'You might as well have it now' Cid pulled a small box from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of Shera, his gaze returned to his boots.
'That-That's thanks for e-everythin'' Cid had started to blush. Shera took the small box in her hands and opened it slowly to reveal a sparkling diamond ring. Shera gasped.
'W-Will you m-marry me?' Cid's face was red Shera got up from her seat and rushed over to Cid, flinging her arms around his neck. Cid almost toppled off his chair.
'Cid, of course I will.' Cid wrapped his arms round Shera's waist, tears fell down her face, 'Of course I will.'
