Chapter 17
Saturday at eleven thirty, I went to meet Evan by the Millennium Centre. I told dad and Tad that I was meeting a friend...it wasn't really a lie if you think about it. I mean Evan's a friend, I was meeting him, I just neglected to say that it was a date. Evan was already waiting by the time I got there.
"Hey, you alright?" Evan asked, smiling.
"Hey. Yeah I'm alright, you?" I replied.
"Yeah, ready to go?"
"Yeah."
This was the first time I had been out with anyone, on a date. So I had no idea what I was doing. Looking at Evan I could tell he was the same, I was a little relieved. We went here there and everywhere in the town. It was a lot of fun. We didn't run out of anything to talk about. I liked this.
As the date was finishing, my phone went off. I had a text...from Owen? Now that never happened. It read:
Need you back at the hub
I replied with:
why?
I didn't get a reply. Thank god we were walking back home. We got to the Millennium Centre and I said goodbye to Evan. He stayed where he was, watching me leave. I turned round and smiled at him, before I was out of sight.
Walking into the hub, I walked over to Owen who was standing by the coffee machine.
"What was with the text?" I asked.
"You'll see." Owen replied, with a secretive smile. "Come on."
We walked into the main hub, where dad, Tad, Gwen and Tosh were, all talking. I went to stand by dad and Tad, and Owen cleared his throat. The room fell silent.
"So, I don't know how to start this. But, I couldn't think of a better time than now." Owen said, reaching into his pocket.
He hid it well, but not from me. I caught sight of the thing in his hands. With a huge grin on my face, I squeaked. I didn't mean to. I put both hands over my mouth. I couldn't believe this was happening.
"Tosh," Owen said, getting down on one knee. "Will you marry me?"
Gasps filled the room as Owen opened the black velvet box, and revealed the gold engagement ring that held a small diamond.
"Say yes; say yes; say yes; say yes!" I squealed, jumping up and down excitedly.
Tosh looked from Owen to the ring and back to Owen, eyes wide. She was speechless.
"Um...uh...yes." Tosh breathed.
Owen stood up, placed the ring on her finger, and then kissed her. While dad, Tad and Gwen said congratulations, I continued to jump up and down grinning like a mad person. I hugged both Owen and Tosh.
"Let's hope we don't have to retcon the guest's this time." Tosh laughed.
"What?" I asked.
"Gwen's wedding, long story, we'll tell you later." dad said, smiling.
A Torchwood wedding. Well this would be fun. I couldn't believe that Owen did what he did, from what I had been told he was reluctant to go out with Tosh in the first place. But, people can change, especially when they meet the right person. I guess now everyone would be more focused on the wedding...and getting rid of as many aliens as possible before the wedding. That seemed like something we could do, especially if it was for family.
