She didn't want to wait anymore... Alexander surveyed the buffet table, trying to determine if there was anything else he'd like to eat. He was hungry and could use a meal, but he figured this was neither the time nor the place for a full-course dinner. The few items he'd scooped up already would be enough for now.
Feeling her soft hand gracing his cheek, he turned toward her. "So I take it you don't want anything to eat?" he absentmindedly asked, noting she hadn't directly replied to his question. Then his face dropped into an expression of absolute shock. With the look he gave her, she may as well have told him the building was about to explode, and they had three seconds to get out.
"..."
Right. There were no words for the shock she'd put him in. His mouth moved a little, but nothing came out. Finally, he spoke.
"Th--this Christmas? Hecate, you want to marry me this Christmas?" he asked. A second later, his whole plate of food went into the bin. There was no way he could focus on eating at the moment. "You're going to marry me this Christmas!" he said, this time not asking a question. His whole face actually brightened into a smile, and then he scooped her up and spun her around, putting her back down gently and then finishing all that with a kiss.
"They'll be ready," he said, nodding. "Sierra, too?" That part was a question.
...dang. Ian was there, which was fantastic. His wife, though...
