"So did he actually propose? Or is this some sort of ... I dunno, deposit sort of wossname." Draco tapped one finger on the small diamond ring on Aurelia's left hand and raised a brow at her.
"Deposit? I'm not a house." Aurelia shook her head and shrugged unconcernedly. "Though, when you get down to it, that's essentially what it is. A promise for later. Anthony said he wasn't ready to be engaged just yet, with everything going on at work, but he did want to be clear that he was intending to propose as soon as things settled. I decided to accept."
"Well, congratulations, then," Draco said. "I don't like him but you do and that's good enough for me." She smacked his shoulder, deliberately poking him with the ring which was much sharper than he'd anticipated. Draco made a face and rubbed his arm. "You're a cruel woman, Monty. Only my wife is allowed to hit me."
