That night…
Luke crossed the Professor's backyard. He opened Flora's window and crawled inside. For once, Flora wasn't expecting him.
"Flora." He shook her shoulder gently.
"Luke?" she looked confused. "Did I forget?"
"No. I just decided to come tonight."
"Oh. Well, I don't mind!" Luke pulled her out of bed and hugged her, his heart beating fast. He bent down under the pretence of fussing with his pyjamas and pulled out the box. He licked his lips nervously. Then, still on one knee, he opened the box and said, "Flora Reinhold, will you marry me?"
"What? For-for real?"
"Yes! I want you to be my wife! I love you."
"Oh Luke. Of course!" Luke slipped the ring onto her finger. She admired it for a moment, then threw her arms around his neck, knocking him to the floor.\
"Sorry." She giggled. Luke put his arm around her waist. They got up and sat on the bed together.
"Flora Triton. I like the sound of that." She said.
"Me too."
A/N: I'm a sucker for happy endings…
