‘Caroline Elizabeth Forbes, will you do me the honor of wearing this engagement ring? I want you to marry me. Will you?’
Stefan’s words rang in her ears and then she was kissing him, saying yes.
“What the fuck?” Caroline said shooting up in the bed. Another proposal? Seriously? At least she actually got to see this one unlike Alaric’s. But still. The thought of marrying Stefan made her sick to her stomach. Even if she was ‘in love’ with him in the dreams. Here he was practically her brother.
Peeta had been contently asleep when Caroline called out and shot up in bed. It earned a groan of annoyance as he tried not to fully wake up and ignore his soon-to-be-wife. Yeah, it was a little rude, but he just wanted to keep sleeping.The other part of his brain reminded him that he should probably find out what in the world happened and make sure she was okay. He rolled over and gave a yawn, but without opening his eyes he spoke, “What’s wrong?”
She didn’t even hear how sleepy Peeta was. Thanks to her dream Caroline was wide awake. “Stefan proposed.” She was pretty sure Peeta knew she meant in the dreams given it was the middle of the night and there was no way he would propose here. “And stupid me said yes,” Caroline sighed turning on her bedside lamp. That was when she saw it. Not only did the ring show up but so did her wedding planning book from when she was like ten years old. “Oh my god,” she groaned. Could the dreams just stop giving her ‘gifts’.
Stefan - proposal - what? That made no sense at all. Peeta’s mind was not working just yet and thankfully he managed to keep his mouth shut instead of asking if Stefan knew that she was already engaged. But then when she said that she said yes his brain finally clicked that it must be a dream situation. He yawned again before turning his head to look at her, “Well, you probably wanted that to happen in the Dreams. You can’t help it that every man loves you.”
“Ugh,” Caroline said placing her head in her hands. “One engagement per dream life is way more than enough. I’d rather go back to Alaric.” As strange as that engagement had been, at least she didn’t know him here. Didn’t think of him as family. Because her and Stefan was just gross. Even if dream!her was apparently in love with him.
She sighed picking up the ring to show Peeta. It wasn’t like she was going to hide these things from him. “What am I supposed to do with this?” she still had Alaric’s ring too. And now that she was actually engaged, keeping all these dream rings just seemed wrong. Well it seemed wrong before she was engaged too, but she always believed dream items were sent to her for a reason. Not something she should get rid of. Now though her mind changed. “Maybe we should sell this one and Alaric’s. Help pay for our wedding.”
“I have no idea. I assumed you really couldn’t get rid of these things from the Dreams. But if we can sell the rings then let’s go for it. Or else you can give Stefan his ring and sell Alaric’s since he doesn’t exist here,” Peeta pointed out as he took the ring from Caroline so he could take a look at it. The rings could sell for a decent amount if they were able to go that route. There was no reason for her to have them here unless they had sentimental value.
“Give it to Stefan?” She supposed it was only fair considering it was from dream!him. But he wasn’t even that far in the dreams. Hell she was pretty sure he was still dating Elena, or they had just broken up or something. “What’s he going to do with it? Propose to Bubbles?” That’d be weird. She doubted Bubbles would like a ring from the dreams that was meant for someone else either.
“I have no idea. It was just an idea,” Peeta replied with a bit of an amused smile, “Maybe it meant something to him in the dreams, could have been his mother’s. Otherwise, who cares. Do whatever you want with it.” To him that would be the only reason to keep something like that otherwise it would probably be the best for her to just get rid of it or hide it away somewhere that no one would find it ever again.
“I’ll ask him,” Caroline said with a shrug. This whole thing was a bit too much for her. She didn’t even want to look at the wedding book that had also shown up. Unicorns? What the hell was dream!her thinking. Even at age eleven. “I’m really tired of dream!me dating and getting engaged to everyone.”
“Well, you shouldn’t be so damn lovable,” Peeta quipped with a laugh as he rolled over to her and wrapped his arms around her, “As long as my ring is the only one you’re wearing I’m really not that worried about it, but hopefully this is the last one.” His voice as sleepy as he spoke and he leaned down to nuzzle against her neck with a smile. It was far too early to get worked up about dream things.
Caroline smiled slightly settling into Peeta’s arms. She was lucky to have a fiance who was so understanding. Not like she could control dream!Caroline’s actions. But damn the girl got around. “Your ring is the only one I want,” she assured him shutting her eyes once again. Now that the shock was wearing off they could go back to sleep. “Gifts’ would be dealt with in the morning.
