After two days of dealing with viewing and funeral and having will read granny was left the house and Norman I got 5,000 from his intehertance. Rita was a big help around the house picking up the meals neighbors gave and organizing viewing and funeral she was taking the wife role seriously. Norman was indeed impress with her and I was ready to fully admit to himself he was I love with Rita. And Norman was going to keep his promise to his granddad by telling how he fell in love with Rita when they got home to The dead letter office.
Once things were settle granddad's estate of affairs. Norman and Rita were ready to return home, Rita backed up the car as Norman was with his granny as she one gift to give him before he left.
"Norman"
"Yes, granny"
"I have something for you and Rita but it for you give to her when the time is right."
Granny handed a ring it wasn't a diamond but a caleigh ring an Irish that symbolizes the three important aspects of a marriage
Crown is for loyalty, heart stands love and hands stand for companionship and commitment.
"Your granddad gave it to me as a promise ring before we got married."
"Granny, I can't take this."
"You will take it I don't need it anymore and anyways rather you put it to good use. So when the time is right you give to her and promise her your heart to her for the rest of your life."
Norman looked at Rita as she was heading toward him he put the ring in his pocket kiss his granny and said
"I promise."
"Promise what" Rita asked as she came toward granny and Norman granny said.
"Promise you come visit again" as she hugged Rita.
Rita patted on her the back and said " of course we will right, honey"
Norman hated that Rita has got the memo that granny knew they were married, so he confessed,
"Honey, granny knows the truth,"
"Knows what truth."
"That you are not married." Granny added
"Oh, granny forgive us for lying I mean we.."
Rita lost for words but granny assure her by holding hands and told her,
"I don't worry about sweet besides I know why you did what you did." She wink at Rita, smiled and gave her a hug.
Moments later, Norman and Rita wave their goodbyes as they pull out the drive of Norman's grandparent's house. Norman stop the car to ask Rita that couldn't wait when they got home.
"Rita, there is something I want to ask you, before we go."
"Alright, Norman, what is it you want to ask me?"
"To dinner?"
Rita heart leapt thinking could this all be a dream so pinch herself as she screamed "ouch"
"What happen?"
"Oh a bug bite me, I am fine, so you want to take me to dinner."
"Yes to thank you for help me and my family."
"Oh Norman, no thanks require but if you insist."
"I do" Norman said quickly
"Then yes, Norman , I would to go to dinner with you."
"Good, will Friday after work."
"Sounds prefect, Shane will help me with make up."
"Oliver will help me my tied."
Rita giggle as Norman chuckled with her remembering the time she try to tied his tie unsuccessfully.
Then Norman and Rita stop laughing but still smile has Norman start the car turned on the radio to hear once again "Just the way you are" by Bruno Mars but this time one slight change both them smiled and felt at ease when they hear song no longer nervous is what feelings might shown between the both of them as they eagerly wait for Friday to come.
