ATTENTION EVERYONE
Teddy's eyes grew wide, when people started to leave. This is not what he needed. Everyone was supposed to be there, that was supposed to be the plan. After dinner he would ask but things weren't turning out the way it was supposed to.
He stood up abruptly, he was feeling courageous and he would do this while he still had the heart to. He ran to the bottom of the stairs yelling up. "Louis! Molly! Come down please? Just for a few minutes?"
And then he ran to the back door. "Rosie! Please come in I have something important to say!" He walked back to the table and everyone had been looking at him strangely now. He stood a bit shaky, his hands in his pockets. Teddy's right hand was fiddling with the ring box. He hoped that everyone would come down at least for what he was about to do. They had all known about it anyhow, so he hoped they would support him in the least bit.
