Part 11 – Marian.

I still couldn't speak. I looked down at the man on one knee in front of me, and the exquisite ring he was holding out to me.

"I…" I tried, "I…How dare you!" I shouted.

"What?" Robin asked confused.

"You can't expect me to take that as an apology, I mean, it's all a bit sudden, and…"

"I was going to propose the next time you came, that's why I was so nervous this morning." Robin explained, "And Marian, I am sorry, you know I love you more than anyone in the world."

"Go on then." I prompted.

"What?" Robin frowned.

"Propose again," I rolled my eyes.

"Of course," Robin went back down onto one knee. "Marian, will you marry me?"

Just as I was about to answer, Much, Allan and John walked into the small clearing, there mouths dropping open in astonishment.

Will:

We stayed silent as we walked out of earshot of the others. And as soon as we had found a suitable place for our discussion Djaq began to shout.

"Will, you and Marian? What was that about? What about Robin? What about me?"

"And what about me?" I screamed in reply. "I thought you loved me, or was I just imagining things?"

"I never told you I loved you," Djaq frowned.

"But I love you," Will whispered.

"Really?" Djaq asked excitedly, running into Will and giving him a big hug.

"I love you too!" She exclaimed, a moment before they shared their very first kiss.
