Couldn't Utter My Love When It Counted

Nairn rolled his eyes, though she was relaxing into him, and his arm settled properly around her. Mmm, don't bring Ruthie into this. We aren't talkin' about him. He grumbled, nudging her gently. Another eyeroll, as she commented that maybe his son would be on time for dinner.

I told you, you've gotta tell me to get my ass home four hours from dinnertime, and I'll show up on time, he snorted, settling back from her at her nudging.

She held the plant back to him, while offering her other hand, wiggling her fingers towards the ring-box. He flushed, glancing down to the ring-box in his hand. After a moment, he claimed his plant, settled the pot on the bench beside of him, and tapped his fingers on the ring-box.

A breath inhaled, he'd lean to kiss her, as she'd asked. It's this moment that he opened the box, and slipped the ring on her finger. Another moment to draw the kiss out; until he's breathless and pulled away. With a too-proud-of-himself grin on his face, even though he was flushed scarlet.

D-d... do you like it?
