Rory paced back and forth on the street as he waited for Harmony to come outside. With the surprise visa problem he was having, being forced to leave America in a mere three months, Rory knew the only way he could stay is if he married an American citizen. Once Harmony had found out, she insisted they were to get married. Though she was pretty persistent, Rory didn't want to force her to do anything she might regret. However, now seemed to start to look like a better time than ever. He had set up a dozen roses that spelled out "MARRY ME?" and had a boom box ready to sing to her. Of course they already discussed getting married-which Harmony had said yes too, but Rory wanted to ask her himself. He had spent so many hours at work so he could save up to buy her an actual ring and now just his word. So now, here was standing outside in the freezing cold with people already forming crowds to see what was going on. As if he wasn't nervous enough with just having to do this, now he had to sing. Blowing into his hands to keep warm, he shook nervously until he finally saw her coming out.

Harmony had spent some pretty lonely nights in her apartment, once the electricity was finally fixed. It seemed like the repetitive schedule had started up again; work and school consuming her angrily leaving her to only do those particular things. It did help, however, that she had been pointed out by a pretty important talent agent recently. Nevertheless, it all seemed to run together when Rory wasn't around, but she knew he was just as busy as she was these days. In a hoodie and a pair of her pajamas, she had just set out to go to sleep when Rory had called her up and asked her to come outside. Finding it odd, her eyes glanced at the kitchen clock to reveal how late it was. Hoping it wasn't an emergency, she grabbed her coat off of the coat hanger and swung it over her shoulders and started down the stairs once she closed the door behind her. Not seeing him in the small alleyway, she opened the doors to go out onto the street to reveal Rory, standing in almost a spotlight of streetlights with what seemed like a full crowd behind him. Tilting her head curiously, she didn't have the time to question him when he started singing. Rory Flanagan, not only singing but singing in the middle of a crowd. Her head leapt as she interpreted the lyrics and the roses on the street, her eyes watering up.

Before she could say anything, Rory bent down and started the music.

It's a beautiful night,

We're looking for something dumb to do.

Hey baby,

I think I wanna marry you.

Is it the look in your eyes,

Or is it this dancing juice?

Who cares baby,

I think I wanna marry you.

He sang nervously as he took Harmony's hand in his. As the music kept playing, Rory got down on one knee and took out the small black box.

"Charlotte Harmony Pearce, I love you. And uhm, I'm pretty sure that you love me. And there are a lot of people around us right now. And uhm, well I love everything about you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. So will you, uhm… will you marry me?" He some how managed to choke out as he waited for her to answer.

"Oh my goodness.."

As he knelt down on his knee, she could feel her body go to instant jelly and though she knew what was coming next, she was incredibly nervous. She began to cry, before he was even done asking her the question, putting a shaking hand over her mouth when he finally uttered the words.

"You know my answer..Of course Rory. YES."

For a moment, Rory thought that she was going to say no. It felt as if he was waiting an hour for her to answer him, finally hearing the word he was waiting for. Once she said yes, he felt this giant smile on his face as he slid the ring on her finger. Standing up and pulling her off her feet, he felt himself blushing as the crowd started to clap. Harmony watched his slid the most beautiful ring she had ever seen onto her finger, a perfect fit nontheless. How had he paid for such a gorgeous ring, knowing it had to have been all the money had worked for towards going home. Shaking it from her thoughts for the time being, she kissed into his neck as he picked her up. She could help but to giggle freely, such a feeling of excitement washing over her body. She was getting married…MARRIED to the person she loved more in the world. The thought alone gave her goosebumps all over her body.

"Uhm, I know you are use to an audience,but I'm not…" He whispered in her ear as he tried to hide his face from the people taking pictures. "Can we go inside?" He asked as he took his hand in her's and picked up the boom box that had now stopped playing the song. She hadn't noticed the audience too much, but he could hear the nervousness in his voice when he asked for them to go inside. Wiping the tears from her face with her freehand, she waved to the ongoers as they scattered off. Once they were up in her apartment, she put her arms around him as he looked at the ring. Once they made their way inside, Rory let out a sigh of relief as they made their way to her apartment.

"I'm glad you said yes." He laughed as he pulled her in for a small kiss. "Thank you for saying yes." He added as he took her hand and looked at the ring he had worked so hard for.

"You really thought I'd say no? I love you Rory, I told you I wouldn't have it any other way. You sounded absolutely breathtaking, by the way. You should sing more often."

Kissing his jawline, she looked down at the ring and sighed at the sight again. Everything was perfect. The two, however, had no idea their time together was soon going to be tossed upside down.
