Re: log: eddie/steph -- karma's bite
"How about both? There's plenty of space in the Statehouse, and Matilda and Flounder will be thrilled." She returned the kiss, fingers digging into the fabric of his suit. She tilted her chin up to watch him as he spoke, taking a moment to memorize the way his mouth moved and the lines around his eyes crinkling. She recognized that switch in his eyes, and her brows furrowed for a moment. A shot of panic zipped through her veins, especially as he stood back. She blinked a few times in shock as he continued to talk like things were good but kept backing away from her. She told Damian she'd been waiting for another shoe to drop, and maybe he was trying to let her off easily. Even as he said mulligan, a surge of anxiety rushed through her like a hurricane-force wind.
But then, he lowered down on one knee, and he pulled out a small box, and inside of it was a ring. She balked in shock. "Wait, what?" It slipped out of her mouth before she could realize it as a grin spread across her face. "Really?" she asked, her smile threatening to crack her face open and voice cracking in desperation. Tears began to well in her blues. She nodded a couple of times, blonde hair bouncing about, as streaks appeared down her face. "Yes, oh god yes, baby." She forgot to hold her hand out to let him slip it on. She forgot the whole decorum of it. Instead she threw her arms around his neck and just practically collapsed into his lap. He could feel her grin pressed up against his neck. He could feel the happy tears falling down her cheeks.
