Eve's pov
Thank god Claire said yes; the tension was unbearable. Michael held the top of my arm in an iron grip, he was ready; she must have made us wait, just a minute or two but those minutes felt like hours. Shane's face was adorable, he was like a child. Excitement, nerves and fear were shadowing his face but when she said yes, wow he just lit up the full room. Michael and I exploded into rounds of applause and hoots of happiness; whilst Shane took Claire in his arms and well he showed her his gratitude!
Tonight has been amazing; for the first time in weeks we are all happy. Claire and Shane more loved up than ever, me and Michael are back on track- we're all aiming towards the wedding. Oh, that's what I haven't said; Shane has put so much thought into this. We were sitting at the table tucking into well a feast, when he just came out with it; his idea is to have the wedding on what would have been the baby's due date, he put the table into silence.
Poor Claire just couldn't speak, she had tears prickling her eyes as she nodded and smiled; I was just beyond words… this shocked me because this was romantic and so not us yet it was perfect. He sat and talked about every detail; table settings, flowers, venue; he has it all planned- Shane wants this. His most beautiful idea is to have a fundraiser for the engagement party, raising money for research into the condition Claire had. Again Claire just nodded, she had tears running down her cheeks and a smile plastered on her lips- I sat and smiled because they were happy tears; we finally have something to smile about.
Any way me and Claire are sitting trying to organise the engagement party, and we may sound eager but we only have five months till the big day so… time to plan, plan, plan! Amelie has already agreed to let us have it at founders square, it's beautiful and romantic; perfect. Claire wants the colour scheme to be a baby blue and baby pink; in memory of her baby. I like that idea; we're trying to find outfits. Claire wants something elegant yet sexy but I want something completely and utterly sexy, but I've found a flaw… nothing I like is available in these girlish colours! I've promised Claire we'll go out tomorrow, try and sort this out because unsurprisingly this engagement party is… this Saturday. Yes, we only have five days to prepare but we have everything at our fingertips.
I'm so happy for my CB, she has actually started to recover; I, well I still hurt, I still feel some blame but I've learnt that it wasn't just me and I'm happy with that… I think.
