Keladry of Mindelan waited anxiously as the woman in front of her was announced. As she whispered her name to the announcer, she saw his eyes widen in surprise at her name. Clearing his throat, he announced her name. As she descended the stairway to the ball, ignoring the whispers, she searched the faces until she found the one she wanted. Across the ballroom, she watched him talk to his cousin, obviously fighting over something. Dom looked up, and immediately his face lit up. Neal was oblivious to the fact that Dom wasn't paying attention to him anymore, and continued to rant.

Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power
Some people live just to play the game
Kel hid her blush behind her Yamani mask and walked towards them, noticing that Dom's cyan eyes followed her every move. When she had reached them, Dom enveloped her in a huge hug. She hugged him back fiercely, memorizing his scent and the feeling. "I'll leave you kids alone," Neal said, winking at Dom from behind Kel's back.Finally Kel pulled away. "Did you miss me?" she asked, grinning. "More than you'll ever know," he whispered, and pressed his lips against hers.
Some people think that the physical things define what's within
And I have been there before, and that life's a bore
So full of the superficial
Kel responded involuntary to the kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck. He moved his arms down from their resting point on her shoulders to her waist, pulling her even closer than Kel thought was even possible. They didn't notice that around them, couples had stopped dancing to stare. The only thing that was aware to them was each other, and right that moment that was all that mattered. When she pulled away, she saw the same emotion in his eyes that she felt. Love. She grinned as Dom bent down and nuzzled her nose with his.
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everthing means nothing
If I ain't got you
"I love you Kel," he whispered, pecking her on the lips. "I love you too, Dom," she replyed, and brought her hand up to wipe off the lip rouge that she had gotten on his lips. Dom's eyes lingered for a moment on her face, and then he got down on one knee, producing a diamond ring from his pocket. He took her left hand. "Then will you marry me?" he asked, hope relevant on his handsome face. "Yes!" Kel exclaimed, her green-hazel eyes filling with tears of joy. Dom grinned once more, then slipped the ring on her finger. She pulled him up and they kissed once more, and everyone applauded. This is what I want. Kel thought looking up at Dom through her tears. I don't need anything else.
If I ain't got you with me baby
Nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby
