Reuniting Tornedalians

He kissed her back lightly before walking over and pulling a chair out for her.

She sat in the chair that he pulled out for her

Noah kissed her cheek before walking around to his own seat, pouring them both s glass of wine as he sat down.

She looked around at everything, smiling softly.

"Strange isn't it.. How everything always seems so hectic all the time but so calm whenever its just us."

She nodded. "I agree with that."

"Mm," Noah hummed.

She smiled softly.

"Well, dig in."

She started eating.

Noah ate in an uncomfortable silence, shaking his head every time he went to talk as he changed his mind

"What do you want to talk about?" She asked.

"Ah, nothing." Noah hummed. "Lets just enjoy the sounds of the night."

She raised an eyebrow. "Come. On be truthful, what's on your mind?"

"No, its nothing... Whn is the next full moon? I've gotten my days confused this week."

"Next week, starts on Friday."

"Ah, ok."

She raised an eyebrow. "Okay seriously, what's going on in that head of yours?" She asked. "You never forget when the full moon is."

"I'm just worried about Harrison, and about you getting bitten by thst vampire tonight. That's all, really,"

She looked at him.

Noah drank his wine quietly.

She drank her wine.

"We used to have this family heirloom," Noah hummed as he topped up thier glasses. "A proper old one. One of my ancestors was involved in discovering diamonds, and he foubd one that was.. Different.. It reflected light differently, it brought it in and shot it back out at you; it made it glow. He found a metal worker and they spoke of ways to wear it, so the first diamond ring was made. About half way between then and now, there was an altercation, burgular hijacked a house, set it on fire. The ring was destoryed and most of the diamond to but what could be salvaged was, all the little chards of it were kept in a box for another couple of decades until my great great grandad found a way to meld them all together, infusing the pieces into a regular diamond and then putting it onto a ring again. Its been used in proposals in my family for a long long time."

She raised an eyebrow as she listened.

"What?" Noah asked, frowning at her raised eyebrow as he got to his feet and pulled a small ring box out of his pocket. Getting down onto one knee in front of her as he opened it up; "Family sentiment and history put to the side, the ring has just been locked away for far too long now and- and personally I don't see whats so stunning about it, I mean its just a bit of rock really and when compared to you...." he shrugged. "I uh.. Harrison and Faun have done wonders for the packs, they've made us stronger, they've gotten rid of everyones prejudice but, for me, the best thing they have done is brought you into my life and I- I never want you out of it so, what do you say, you want to marry me?"
