Charity drew away from him, sitting up, though she remained on his lap. For a moment she gawped feeling her whole body go cold and still. Her eyes came up to look at him, watching his face- the unsure smile, the soft gentle eyes- Chatty looked down at the ring again and back up at him.
"Caleb-I-" She bent in and kissed him.
When she broke away from his mouth she smiled. "Ask me then-" she teased him- rising off his lap and gesturing the floor. "Your not too old to kneel."

Caleb got down off the bed and took a knee. Taking her hands into his, he kissed the back of the left. "Charity Hearns, you've made me happier beyond all belief. All that you could do to make me happier is to say yes, that you'll be my wife." He gave her a cheeky smile, "will you be my wife?"

Charity dropped down to her knees in front of him. She thought it would be easier, hearing the question directly. It wasn't.
"I love you, you know I do..." She closed her eyes for a minute, thinking, trying to sort the nervous panic into a box in her mind, it was clouding her judgement. She opened her eyes, staring into his blue ones and chewing her lips she nodded; slowly.
"I'd like that, Caleb. Alot."

He stroked back her flaming red hair, kissing her forehead. Taking the delicate emerald framed by diamonds and slid it on her finger. His mouth brushed over hers and tugged her closer, "That wasn't too scary, was it?"

She kissed him quietly, sitting on the floor with him, "Terrifying." She told him, with a small smile.

"It won't change who we are, babe-" he murmured and took a deep breath in- feeling relieved. "Wanna see if Is will watch the kids for a bit? Take off?"

"okay." she nodded, looking down at the ring on her hand. She turned it between her fingers, and smiled to herself.

He got up, "I'll go tell them- you put on something nice and we'll go out for a grown up meal." And he was grinning, chuffed beyond all repair. Downstairs he gave Ali and Gracie a kiss, telling Is what was going on.
The teen snuck upstairs, leaning in her stepmum's doorway. "Did you like your surprise?" A soft grin was on Issy's lips, "I helped him pick it out."
