“When are you going to do it?” Zoe asked as we waited for Dion to polish it. He was taking forever. Macey drummed her fingers on the counter impatiently. How long does it take to polish a ring? I thought to myself.

“I don’t know. Kalen said he could take Valarian tonight. I could try to make us dinner and do it tonight?” I said try because the smell of food really made me gag; he may be eating Chinese from a container. How romantic, not. Although, I should probably buy Chinese after I drop Valarian off at Kalen’s because the more I thought about it, the less it seemed possible I was going to be cooking.

“Yeah, do it tonight before you chicken out, and I will tell Tatum,” Macey says, peering through the door out the back of the jewelers.

“Really? You’re going to tell him?” I ask. Macey sighs but nods her head.

“Yes. Well, if you have the guts to propose, I should woman up and tell him,” she says. “So much going on today, so exciting!” Zoe gushes.

“Exciting? I am about to possibly ruin my relationship while she gets married!” Macey says, nodding toward me. “Tatum won’t leave you over something you can’t control,” Zoe says, and I agree. He didn’t seem the sort to run just because he couldn’t have kids. He loved Macey.

“We’ll see, but I am about to jump this counter and polish the damn thing myself,” Macey growled.

“Kalen was alright with taking him at short notice. I can take him for the night if you want me to?” Zoe offers.

“No, he seemed excited,” I tell her.

“What did you tell him?” Macey asks.

“Told him I wanted to have dinner with Valen,” I shrug. Dion finally returns, and he looks extremely sweaty and nervous.

“Are you ok?” I asked him

“Yeah, just not feeling well, Luna,”

“Ah well, then that is our queue to leave before you give us whatever you got,” Macey growls-stepping back from him like he has the plague. Dion chuckles, handing me the small jewelry bag and my receipt.

“Thanks,” I tell him before we all leave. We had to race to the school because that took way longer than we thought.

Macey bought another cappuccino as we left, sneaking it to me when I hopped in the car. I sighed in relief before reaching into the tote bag in the back. Macey took the decaf coffee jar FNEGR3K1 emptied it into a bin near my car before Zoe filled it with real coffee that she snuck from home.

“I did not give that to you, and if he finds out, I will totally deny it and blame Macey,” Zoe states with a soft laugh.

“Wait, why blame me?” Macey asks.
