Eli's POV
"So, how was your day?" Clare asked as we were eating.
"Good, I told Adam about the engagement." I said smiling at the thought of Clare as my bride.
"Oh, I told Alli. My parents invited us to dinner tomorrow. We sohould tell them then." She said slightly nervous.
I gulped down the food I was chewing and said, "Should I be scared?"
"Not that much. They love you, but I don't think they even like the thought of me getting married.
"Oh, but it's better to just rip the band-aid off." I said smirking.
Dinner at the Edward's house
Clare's POV
I'm terified to tell them. They will probally be accepting. They know I love Eli deeply.
I snapped out of my thoughts by my dad clearing his throat.
"Do you guys want to tell us someting?" He asked.
Now was the time to tell them.
"We do have something to tell you." I said looking at Eli hopping he'd tell them.
He got the message and said, "Clare and I are engaged."
After he said that my parents dropped their forks and the room went silent.
A few minutes later after an awkward silence my mom said, "That's great." I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding in.
I looked in her eyes and saw she was telling the truth she really was happy.
Just then my dad said, "I'm happy also. You guys do love each other and I couldn't do anything to stop it if I wanted to.
"Thank you, Mom and Dad." I said getting up and hugging each of them.
I went and sat back down next to Eli and he was smiling.
After dinner back at home
"Well that was easier then I expected." Eli said as we were getting dressed for bed.
"I was shocked I thought they would be mad that we were getting married." I said.
"Me too," he said.
"When can we start planning?" I asked we got in bed.
"Maybe tomorrow, I don't have to work." He said.
"Okay, goodnight." I said.
"Love you," Eli said as he turned off the light.
"Love you too." I said just before falling asleep.
