AN: I don't own LWD
#25 Ring
Casey was busily working away in her office when suddenly there was a knock at her door. "Come in!" She called, and her assistant Dianne walked in. "There is a visitor here to see you." She said. "Bring them in." Casey replied, and Dianne waved the visitor in, and Edwin entered her office. "Edwin!" Casey squealed in delight, getting up, and running to hug him. "What are you doing here?" She asked as they broke away from each other. "I need your help. I want an expert's advice in finding the perfect ring for Lizzie." He said simply with a straight face. Immediately Casey's face lit up, and she started squealing and jumping up and down. "Edwin! This is so exciting! Of course I will help you! Let's go," She replied grabbing her coat and bag off its hook.
As they walked out of Casey's office, she called to Dianne, "I'm out for the rest of the day Di, have a good day!" The two quickly left the office building, and Casey was talking a mile a minute, asking Edwin questions in rapid fire mode. "Casey!" Edwin exclaimed. She stopped talking, and her face settled down, "Sorry I'm just excited. My baby sister is getting proposed to!" She exclaimed happily, while Edwin just blushed.
Edwin was completely lost as to where to even start looking, so Casey was pretty much the leader in their mission. She brought him all over to countless jewelers, and neither of them could find a ring worthy of Lizzie. The two decided to take a break for some lunch to recharge before going back out to look. As they sat down at Casey's favorite pub and restaurant, Casey decided that it would be easier to know what Edwin was looking for if she knew what his proposal plan was. Well I was thinking of proposing at Falls Beach, where I first told Lizzie that I loved her." Edwin said sheepishly. "Aww that's so romantic, who knew that you could be romantic like that." Casey gushed, "Only for her." Edwin mumbled. "Ed, you are too cute, you remind me of my own Venturi." She replied, twiddling her wedding ring around.
The two finished their lunch, and Casey dragged him to a jewelers that she believed would be perfect for Edwin and Lizzie.
After a few minutes of searching Casey found it. She called Edwin over to look at it, and when he saw it, he was in awe, and was speechless, a rare thing for Edwin. "Well what do you think?" Casey asked him. "Its perfect." Edwin whispered, not even taking his eyes off the ring.
Edwin paid for the ring and the two headed out of the jewelers. By that time it was 4, and it was both time for them to head to their homes. "Thank you Edwin for letting me help and be a part of this." Casey told him. Edwin looked at Casey sincerely, "No thank you, I couldn't have done it without you." The two hugged, and headed their separate directions. Before either got too far, Casey called out, "Call me and let me know how it goes!" and Edwin replied, "Will do!"
A Week Later….
Casey was cleaning up the kitchen after dinner with Derek while he and her chatted about their days. All of the sudden Casey's phone rang and it was Edwin. She answered quickly, "Well?.." She asked expectantly. "Casey, you are on speaker phone." Edwin said seriously. "Derek's here too, so I will put you on speaker phone here too." Casey replied. "Okay we are both listening." Casey said. "Well, Lizzie and I have news," Edwin said slowly, before Lizzie replied, "EDWIN PROPOSED! WE ARE GETTING MARRIED!" Derek and Casey looked at each other excitedly. "Congratulations! We are so happy for you!" The couples talked for a while about the news before saying goodnight and hanging up.
Later that evening, as she was getting ready for bed, Casey's phone buzzed, and she received a text from Edwin that read 'Thanks for everything, couldn't have done it without you! "
Casey smiled to herself, happy knowing that she could help make her sister the happiest she's ever been.
