After Noah brought my hand down the, first to congratulate us was Tuppen "No, fair man I never, got my shot you threatened to beat me up if I showed up for our date. He started laughing you knew that was the only way you could win. Nah just kidding congratulations you two." He hugged us and moved on. It took forever for the heartfelt wishes to end. Of, course there were squeals, at my ring.
After the party ended Noah went upstairs and started talking about our future. Where we wanted to be and where we were going. He said that he didn't want to go back to school but would because the future he sees for us the only way to achieve it was to get the best education he could. He looks at me and says "It will still be three and a half years before I finish my courses. And even then it won't be diamond sunbursts or marble halls for a while are you sure you want to wait." I started giggling "yes and did you just seriously quote Lucy Maude Montgomery to me with little changes here and there. I didn't even know you knew I liked that book" "Shelly you have reread those books for so long and made Lee watch those movies I don't know how many times how could I not especially when I heard you say Gilbert was so romantic." I giggled. "you know how much I love you that you were able to work that line to fit us and that you even thought of it." "I am so glad when my roommate busted me watching that movie he didn't let me live it down. Especially since you had broken up with me at the time" "well at least you know that in my heart I was always yours." "yes, that is true."
