Audrey could see that James hated to see that she was in a horrible place when the gem sent her back home. the fact was that most of her friends that she had here, were still mean back home and bullied her to no end and trying to be too much like Mal was. But there was more to her than what she was in the past. James saw the beauty she had on the inside. The way she was there for her friends that she cared about, his sense of humor and ability to tell corny jokes so he could hear her laugh. What people said about her was not true and she knew it. She felt it in how the kiss between them lingered and then pulled away.
Her expression turned curious as he fumbled in his pockets like he was searching for something, tilting her head as she watched him.It was then when he got on one knee that Audrey felt her heart start to beat fast, seeing people in the square slow down their walking to watch them. A pink gloved hand covered her mouth as her eyes grew wide as she stared down at him.
Then he started to speak. He spoke from his heart, one of the many things she loved about him, his ability to say the right words to make her feel like she was the most precious gem on the planet. Maybe she was to him. Tears filled her eyes as she listened to him, trying hold them back but found that she could not stop them from rolling down her cheeks and then gasped when he opened the box to reveal the most beautiful ring she had ever seen. when he asked the words she was longing to hear, she looked down briefly and then bent down to kiss him deeply and passionately. "When I left here, part of me was left with you. I felt lost and lonely. You James Rogers make me the happiest woman on the planet. One look from you and I go weak in the knees, shocked that you fell for a person like me. You broke down all the walls I held over my heart and somehow I fell in love with you. I know that if my parents were here, they would love you as much as I do. There is no one more perfect for me than you, and while I can not control the gem, I know that I can not live without you. I want you as my family, my husband and the love of my life. So yes, I will marry you." She then wrapped her arms around him, a smile on her face as tears of joy fell out of her eyes.
