It was empty.
Murrue laughed at his face, his reaction so memorable as she swung her left hand in front of his widening, sparkling eyes. All the air fell out of him the very moment he saw the silver diamond ring already slipped on her finger.
Mu sprung up, off the floor and looked at Murrue's face already starting to shine with tears.
"Really?" He breathed; all she could get out was a nod.
She kissed him, a meaningful, invigorating kiss. She took the offensive. All she could get out between their embraces came out as a whisper in his ear.
"Just . . . don't die on me . . . okay?"
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere . . ." He whispered back, adding, "Like I'd want to," as a laughing afterthought.
Oh look, another sweet ending. Well i like it and many people were asking me to make her say yes, though i couldn't really see her say no let alone write it myself . . .
This is the end of Part One/Book One/Story One--whatever you want to call it. . . People also wanted a sequel or supplementary story to this one, so, I did write onebecauseI wanted to, it just took a while for the ideas to start flowing. The second half will consist of 4 chapters (5-8) and the first chapter's called "They Danced"
Hope you'll enjoy!
