Prologue.
"Are you not with Sarah anymore? Is that what you've come here to tell me?" Iris asked.
"Yes, it is. I love you, Iris Simpkins. More than you could ever imagine, When I said we were a square peg and a round hole, that was then. Now I know that we are a very round peg and a very round hole. I love you, I really do." Jasper said. He placed a gentle kiss on Iris's lips and smiled.
"I love you Jasper. I just hope that this time it will last." Iris kissed Jasper's cheek and giggled.
"Marry me?" Jasper asked. Iris sat up straight and smiled.
"Yes! Oh my God, Yes! Of course I'll marry you Jasper!" They launched themselves at each other and, well, I think you can see where this is going.
"Graham, It's me, Iris" Iris said into the phone. She was phoning Graham to tell him that she was getting married.
"Iris! How are you?"
"Fine. I was just ringing to say that Jasper and I are getting married. He came over to America to tell me he wasn't getting married to Sarah and that he wanted to marry me"
"Oh my god, Iris. That's great. Are you coming home for Christmas?"
"No, sorry. Jasper and I want to spend Christmas by ourselves. We'll be back for new year though"
"Alright, the girls can't wait to see you. Have a nice Christmas!"
"Bye" Iris hung up and jumped onto the bed where Jasper was laying. They had slept in and hadn't remembered that it was Christmas day.
"Happy Christmas Jasper" Iris whispered.
"Happy Christmas Iris, I love you."
"I love you too Jasper. I never thought we'd get engaged." Iris said, sitting up slightly.
"I did." Jasper said. "I always knew. From the first moment we met, I knew that you were the woman I was going to marry"
"Really?"
"Really."
