After he proposes, I tell him I have to go home to tell my parents and he says okay.

When I get there, my parents say, "How'd it go?" "Amazing!" I exclaim.

"What went on?"

"Well..."

"What?"

"Ron asked me to marry him!"

"He what?!"

"He proposed, mum."

"You said no, right?"

"Why would I?"

"You said yes?!"

"Yeah."

"My god."

"You know what?! I thought you'd be happy! But oh hell, no. You have to get all upset!"

"Sorry-"

I run out of the house before she can finish.

"What'd they say?" says Ron, with a hopeful look. "They're mad," I answer.

"Oh...my family is happy for us, at least."

"Yeah. That's what I love about them."

Ron smiles brightly and wraps his arm around my shoulder.

"Can I stay here tonight?"

"Yep."
