Chapter Nine
Later On
"Are you sure you're alright?" Tommie had brought me back to Ardara, where I dried and had some food. Tommie even went to go and get Fathers' car! How sweet!
We were now sat in front of the warm fire in the sitting room. "I'm fine now." I assured him for the 1000th time. He took my hand, and intertwined my fingers with his.
"That's all right then. You know, you gave me a right shock, you did!" I brought his hand closer and kissed his fingertips.
"I thought I'd lost you Tommie. It was horrible. But now we're engaged!" I exclaimed. Tommie put one finger to my lip and gestured to the ceiling. I nodded obediently.
"Oh yes!" Tommie jumped up from the sofa and rummaged through his coats' pockets. He pulled out a small, velvety-looking box. He sat down next to me again. "For you." He handed me the box. Raising an eyebrow, I flipped open the lid. Inside, there was a beautiful sapphire and diamond ring, set in silver. The sapphire was square-cut and framed by lots of little diamonds. "Oh, Tommie…." I breathed. I was a terribly lucky girl. "It's beautiful. But… do I have to put it on myself?" I joked. I took the ring out the box and held it between my thumb and finger. I glanced up towards Tommie.
"Nope." He replied, taking the ring. He slipped it onto the fourth finger on my left hand. It fit perfectly. Tommie pressed his lips to the finger he had just placed the ring on. "You tired?" Tommie requested to know.
"A bit. Why?" I replied. Come to think of it, I was exhausted.
"Come here." He pulled me closer and wrapped his arms around me. I rested my head on his chest. "Goodnight, Nellie." Tommie kissed my hair.
"What? Won't your parents mind?" I gasped. Tommie shook his head.
"Nah. Just go to sleep."
I obeyed him, and drifted off into a deep sleep. Just like Heaven.
