Matthew was going to be delighted when he found out that he'd managed to actually surprise Sookie with this. It had certainly been running through his mind almost constantly. He knew that she tried to keep from reading the thoughts of people around her, but considering how loud he'd been thinking about it sometimes, he thought it might have slipped through by accidentally.
He grinned widely, reaching for her hand and slipping the ring on. They'd wind up announcing it soon, he was sure, so that all of their friends could know. He personally didn't care if they had a big wedding or a small one, just as long as Sookie was happy with it. It certainly made him hope that his sister showed up soon, though, because she was the only blood family that he had left, along with his nephew. He'd love for them to be there. He didn't think that the gem took requests, though.
"You didn't know?? he asked with a laugh. "I figured that I'd been thinking it loudly enough that you might have heard by accident." He wrapped both his arms around her waist again, holding onto her as she looked at her ring. They could worry about things like champagne later.
"I'm glad you like it," he said, looking down at the ring on her finger. A large part of him thought he'd never see the day where he'd be asking someone to marry him, much less them saying yes.
