Think

"I've been thinking." Eliot said as he lazily played with a curl of Holly's auburn hair. Her head had been resting on his chest, arms around him as he sat half propped up in her bed, but at his words she pulled away from him slightly, lifting her face so that she could look up at him.

"How many times have I told you to leave the thinking to me?" she asked with mock sincerity. With one blunt finger he lightly batted her nose.

"Sexist much?" She laughed and settled back against him.

"Not at all, it's just the last time you got to thinking I ended up handcuffed to a bed." It was his turn to laugh, mirth bubbling through him, causing his broad, bare chest to rumble as the memory tickled his fancy.

"That was a brilliant idea." He replied, "But I was actually thinking about something else."

"Hum?" Holly sighed; Eliot had picked up the curl he'd been toying with earlier.

"Well, my Grandmother gave me this ring…" He said, from out of nowhere producing a ring. A white gold and solitaire diamond ring. Her eyes, like silver dollars, stared at the ring. She didn't need to be Sophie to know that he was holding an engagement ring. A Tiffany's Engagement ring. "And I was thinking maybe we should get married, because I love you, and well, I think that's what people in love do. They get married. What do you think?"

"I… I…" For the first time in her life Holly Blake was rendered speechless. What she couldn't say with her mouth she said with her kiss.

"Yes." She finally whispered.
