"Hi, how was last night? Huh? Did you two...?" Melanie teased as we met her and the others in the kitchen.

"Fantastic," I answered for me, grinning but I just blushed and kept my hand hidden. "We have some good news that we want to share with you." He announced smiling down at me still in his arms. "See if you can round up the others and call a meeting to order." He carried me off towards the game room and sat on the floor with me on his lap.

"You don't mind if this goes public do you?" Ian asked me.

"No, not at all." I replied. "But can you answer one question for me?" I carried on when he nodded. "Where did you get the ring?"

"It was my grandmothers, she gave it to me just before she died knowing that I would use it someday soon."

"Thank you Ian," I said and closed my eyes trying to picture it. When I finally opened my eyes the room was almost full. Ian picked me up and brought me to the front of the room where every pair of eyes was on us.

"Well, we have some good news to tell you all, Ian?" I asked and he gave me a reproaching smile.

"Yes, as Wanda said we have some good- no fantastic- news to share with you." He took a deep breath and grinned so widely that his eyes crinkled in the corners. "We're engaged." It was all so sudden, a million emotions at once: Joy, surprise, happiness, shock, disgust (that was from Sharon and Maggie who still seem to despise me).

Melanie ran up to me and tugged me from Ian's arms, pulling me into a bone crushing hug with a huge grin spread across her face. "I knew it would happen soon." She announced. I was soon greeted by what seemed like hundreds of congratulations, hugs, kisses and smiles.

Jeb came up to the front and announced that we all play a game to celebrate after congratulating us and giving us the day off of work. Kyle and I were picked as captains.

"Ian," I started.

"Jared"

"Melaine"

"Jeb"

"Jamie"

"Doc"

"Lacey"

"Sharon"

"Lily"

"Aaron"

"Brandt"

"Candy"

"Trudy"

"Paige"

"Sunny"

"Heidi"

"Andy"

"Travis"

"Carol"

"Ruth Ann"

It was great to feel alive again, the wind blowing through my hair and stretching my legs, even if not for long until I got breathless. Even though I have not admitted it to anyone, not even Ian, I do miss being in Mel's body, but only for the speed and strength. Our team won however, I have a feeling that they let us win.

After the game, Jeb dismissed us.
