Effy asks, with a little bit of surprise, 'What do you want?'
Freddie answers, with a smile, 'I want you, Effy Stonem. I fucking love you, and I'm sure as fuck that you love me too. Plus, I've got permission from the Cookie Monster now.'
Effy remains silent, until she notices the bag of Hula-Hoops. 'What are the Hula-Hoops for?' she asks, with questions rumbling around in her head.
'Well, they're for us.' Freddie takes one, and puts it on his finger. The Hula-Hoop breaks, crumbs fall on the floor, and they burst out in laughter. They calm down, and Freddie kneels on the damp, concrete floor.
He then says, 'Elizabeth Stonem, would you please, for fuck's sake, stop being so stubborn and finally do the honors of officially being mine?' Effy puts her hand out. Freddie puts the Hula-Hoop onto her finger.
Effy smiles, bites the ring that was still on her finger and says 'Yum'.
Freddie tickles her, playfully scolding her, 'Why did you eat my ring?' he says.
Effy, still laughing from the constant tickling, says 'Because we don't need a ring to be together.
Freddie smiles, and says 'I'll take that as a yes, then' He kisses her passionately and they walk off, hand-in-hand, to continue the rest of their lives together.
