thread ; delphi & nightwing WHO: Danny & Mary WHEN: 09/14 WHERE: New York City, NY RATING: TBD SUMMARY: Mary confronts Danny about the thing ring.
Mary had lost track of how long it'd been since Danny had decided to pop the question. She had to deal with an interrogation about her relationship with him and her feelings about the whole thing by just about everyone. She figured that the news would get around quickly, but hadn't thought she'd had to answer to it.
A long talk with her mom and a shorter one with her father, lead her to Danny's apartment. She'd been carrying the box around since he gave it to her. People had asked to see the ring, but she'd always said she'd left it behind. It was a lie. It wasn't an easy one to tell, but she'd done it. The last thing she needed was for people to see the ridiculous size of the jewel. It was pretty, but so impractical she wanted to face palm when she'd finally taken a good look at it.
She knew she'd taken her sweet ass time getting there, but she had a lot to do and think about. Mary had been sleeping away most of her days and beating up bad guys at night. It took a while to return to the lifestyle. Her mom didn't say much, and her dad told her she should do what she felt she needed to do. Bludhaven criminals needed a reason to keep looking over their shoulder and she had become that.
There wasn't much else to it, or returning to real life until she saw Danny's post about the robot on Boostr. She hadn't answered his question or talked to him about it like she told him she would. She still didn't have an answer. Marriage was a huge step. It meant commitment, not that she'd given her heart to anyone else. They'd just warmed her bed at night and were kicked out in the morning.
A lot of things came with this ring.
Taking a deep breath, she exhaled sharply and knocked on the door.
