Since actually getting married would involve telling my parents, we decided that it would wait until we were 20 at the least, it didn't bother us though, it just meant that our forever would come later. So I continued to travel to the boy's at every chance I got, staying for as long as I could before my parents started worrying, I had told them I was dating Fred, but that was the extent of their knowledge, and I was going to keep it that way.
Sophie was desperate to meet Fred, she knew more than our parents did, mainly because I had forgotten to take the ring off before meeting her, but she didn't need to know that, however I was blatantly ignoring her attempts to meet him out of fear that they may not like each other, which was not a positive thing to do, but I was scared so I avoided it. It was getting close to the beginning of the school term and it felt weird knowing that I wouldn't be joining the students. That also meant that the shop wouldn't be as busy, not that that was a problem, we had enough money and a break would be good for the boys.
We were content in the moment.
