Author's Note: Thanks to all who reviewed! I'm glad you liked it. I hadn't really intended to continue the story. It was really just supposed to be a one-shot, but I was inspired. Hope you enjoy!

Shoequeeny: Yes, it was kind of harsh to tell Amy about Olivia after her mother's funeral, but I couldn't think of another reason for Ephram to go back to Everwood. I didn't think that he would just go back for a visit.

oooooooooooooooooo

Part 2

May…

Ephram unlocked the apartment door and set his bag down wearily. Between work and studying for finals he was exhausted; so was Olivia. They had barely even seen each other in a week; and when they did see each other they were too tired to do anything but sleep.

"Liv?" Ephram called as he looked around the apartment, not really expecting her to be there. Walking across the room he noticed the note on the refrigerator. There had been a lot of notes the past few days. One more week and things would go back to normal…he hoped.

"At the studio. Be back late. Dinner's in the fridge. L."

Ephram smiled as he read the note. Liv had spent the majority of the past week at the school's recording studio. As part of one of her finals she had to record a CD, and he knew that she was really worried about it. Out of curiosity he opened the refrigerator door and pulled out the container with a post-it note on it.

"Microwave – 2 minutes."

Ephram laughed, surprised that she had taken the time to make him dinner. Of course, Liv knew he was hopeless in the kitchen and was probably afraid he would burn the apartment down. Still he loved that she wanted to take care of him, and he loved taking care of her.

Who was he kidding? He loved her. He couldn't imagine his life without her. Suddenly, he realized that he hadn't actually seen his girlfriend awake in three days; and decided that it was time to change that. Smiling, he put his dinner back in the fridge and walked towards the door. He picked up his bag and left the apartment, heading back to school.

oooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ephram arrived at the school and entered the control booth of the recording studio. Nick was sitting at the soundboard, watching Olivia in the studio.

"Hey, Nick," Ephram greeted him as he sat in one of the chairs. "How's she doing?"

"Amazing...as always." Nick adjusted a few knobs as she finished a song, then turned on the intercom to talk to her. "That was great, Liv. Come and listen. By the way…you've got a fan," he teased.

Ephram leaned over and talked into the microphone. "Hey, babe."

Liv lit up when she heard his voice. "Hey! What are you doing here?"

"Moral support," he answered. "You sounded great; come listen."

Liv nodded, took off her headphones, and entered the control room. She walked over to Ephram and kissed him 'hello'. Noticing that there were only two chairs in the room and Nick was already sitting in one, Ephram sat down in the other chair and pulled Liv down into his lap. He wrapped his arms around her waist, as she rested her hands on his.

Nick pressed the 'play' button, and they sat back and listened.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Two nights later it was Ephram's turn to have a late night. Liv had finished her CD the other night, so she had actually gotten home fairly early. However, Ephram had met with his study group for his music history class, and they had studied until two o'clock in the morning.

Ephram quietly entered the apartment and made his way to the bedroom. Looking over at the bed, he wasn't surprised that Liv was already asleep. He walked over to his dresser and began changing into pajama pants and a t-shirt, trying not to wake her up.

Managing to change without waking Liv up, he turned and opened his sock drawer, digging up a pair of socks from the bottom. Looking over his shoulder to make sure Liv was still asleep he unrolled the socks and pulled out a small jewelry box. He opened the box and looked at the simple diamond and platinum ring he had bought two weeks earlier.

Ephram had been waiting for the perfect moment to ask her, but so far it hadn't presented itself. He had already decided to wait until finals were over. However, they were supposed to go to Colorado in a few weeks so Liv could meet his dad and Delia, and he wanted to ask her before then.

When he had bought the ring, he had made the mistake of telling Bright; who had expressed his concerns that they were moving too fast. They hadn't even known each other for a year, and they were already living together. Ephram knew that they had moved kind of fast, but for them it had worked, and he had no doubt that she would say yes.

Ephram glanced at her over his shoulder again before wrapping the box in his socks again. Then he buried the socks in the bottom of the drawer, and walked over to the bed. Turning off the lamp, he climbed into bed and wrapped an arm around Liv's waist. Liv sighed and snuggled closer to him, and he placed a light kiss on the back of her neck.

The last thing he had expected to find when he came to London was Olivia. He still couldn't believe how lucky he was, especially considering everything that had happened the year before. A year ago he had only just broken up with Amy, and now he was in another country, living with someone he had known for less than a year, and he was trying to figure out how to ask Liv to marry him. And in two weeks Liv was going to meet his father. Ephram just hoped that his father didn't scare her off…

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

A few days later…

Ephram set down his bag and leaned against a tree as he waited for Olivia. She was supposed to find out her grade on the CD she had recorded. This was the last final for either of them, and they were both looking forward to finally being able to relax. He still hadn't found the right time to ask Liv to marry him, however he had taken to carrying the ring in his pocket…just in case.

Liv exited the building and scanned the courtyard for Ephram, seeing him standing next to a tree. She ran towards him, and threw herself at him. Surprised, he caught her, and spun her around before setting her back on the ground.

"I'm guessing that greeting means you did well?" he asked, laughing.

Liv stepped back and reached into her bag, pulled out the CD, then held it up for Ephram to see. His smile grew as he read the comments and took in the 'A' in red ink at the bottom. Leaning down, he wrapped his arms around her waist, picked her up, and spun her around again, before turning his head so he could kiss her.

"We should celebrate!" he said enthusiastically. "What do you want to do?"

She thought about it for moment, scrunching up her nose like she always did when she was thinking. "You know what I really want to do?" she finally asked. Ephram shook his head and waited for her to finish. "I just want to go home…rent some movies…maybe order Chinese…and just spend some time together for a change."

Ephram smiled and picked up his bag before wrapping his arm around her shoulders. "That sounds perfect."

oooooooooooooooooooooo

Later that evening…

The Chinese food had been eaten, and one movie had already been watched. Once the second movie had started they found themselves in the same situation as they had been that movie night the previous summer. The movie night that had changed their relationship forever.

They were lying on their bed watching the movie. Liv was on her back with Ephram on his side, his arm across her waist. Like that previous movie night, Ephram had spent more time watching Liv than watching the movie. Suddenly, it hit him…this was the perfect time.

"I love you, Liv," he whispered in her ear.

Liv turned her head and gazed into his eyes for a moment. "I love you, too," she whispered back.

Ephram took a deep breath and moved his hand to his pocket. He pulled out the ring, and looked into her eyes again. "Will you marry me?" he asked as he held up the ring for her to see.

Liv bit her lip and smiled as she turned in his arms to face him. She reached up to brush his hair out of his eyes, and whispered yes. Ephram slipped the ring on her finger, and kissed her, pulling her closer. Reaching behind her, Liv grabbed the remote control and turned off the TV. Then, she slowly rolled onto her back, pulling Ephram on top of her.

oooooooooooooooooooooooo

Liv listened to Ephram breathing, smiling and feeling happier than she had felt in her entire life. She held her hand in front of her and examined her engagement ring. She couldn't believe it; they were engaged, they were getting married.

Closing her eyes she rested her hand on top of Ephram's, which was resting on her stomach, and laced their fingers together. Ephram sighed and tightened his grip on her hand, as they both fell asleep.
