A Few Glasses of Wine

"things are going to be different"

Y/n's POV

The next few days didn't feel like they usually did. I was dead silent and my mother was scared that I lost my 'shine'. My family treated me like a ticking time bomb. But I couldn't blame them, if I were in their position, I'd do the same.

Myron's POV

The house didn't feel the same ever since Spencer passed away, both Blanche and I were afraid of facing Y/n and Timothy didn't even run off to go bother her. I was sitting in the living room with Blanche when I had gotten a phone call. I walked over to the telephone and picked it up.

"Hello?" I said. "Good morning, is this Myron L/n?" I heard an oddly familiar voice. "It is, may I ask who I am speaking to?" I said respectfully. "William James Moriarty" he replied to me.

I had to think for a second, he wasn't the oldest one, he was one of the younger ones, I think he was the one who didn't wear glasses.

"Mr. L/n are you still there?" he asked me. "Yes, yes I am. What did you need to talk to me about?" I asked him. "This might be too soon to ask but I'm sure you want the best for your daughter" he explained. "What do you know about that?" I asked him. "I'm a professor at a university nearby and I rarely get female students but when I do, I hear the same thing from their fathers. I can't really blame them because those girls are their pride and joy. I'm pretty sure you feel the same way about your Y/n" he went on. "What are you trying to say?" I asked William. "I don't know if you've noticed this but my brother is very fond of Y/n" William continued. "I've heard" I replied to him. "I think he'll be perfect for her. I always hear him talking about her and he never stops talking about her dancing" William told me about his brother.

I let out a laugh.

"You have a point William, I'll see what I can do" I said to him. "Thank you for hearing me out" he said. "Thank you for enlightening me" I said before hanging up. "Who was that?" Blanche asked. "William Moriarty, I think I found the perfect man" I said to my wife. "That's what you said last time" she replied to me. "Things are going to be different, I can feel it" I reassured my wife.

I got out a piece of paper and prepared a letter for Albert.

Albert James Moriarty,

This morning, I was talking with your brother and he made me realize a lot of things. I learned a lot about both him and you and I managed to have a heartfelt conversation with him. I didn't realize how much you care about our Y/n and from what I heard, you more than fond of her. I'd go as far as to calling it love but we haven't gotten that far yet. I wanted to ask you if you would be willing to marry our Y/n. As you probably know, it won't be an easy task but you've proven to me that you are more than fit to marry my daughter. I wouldn't give any other person my blessing this quickly but you are different Mr. Moriarty. I hope you are willing to take this chance to marry my Y/n.

Best Regards, Myron L/n

Blanche looked over my shoulder as I sealed the letter.

"I really hope he accepts the letter and her hand in marriage" she said to me. "Why wouldn't he?" I asked my wife.

Later that day: Albert's POV

"Brother, a letter's come for you" Louis said to me. "Who's it from?" I asked him. "I don't know, I haven't opened it" he replied to me.

I picked up the envelope and and opened it. I read the letter and I smiled.

"What is it?" Louis asked. "Y/n's father gave me permission to marry her" I said to him.

He took the letter from my hand and read it over.

"No way" he said out loud. "I think you should be thanking me" William said. "When did you convince him?" I asked. "This morning I had a conversation with him over the telephone" he explained. "Well what are you doing here, go talk to her" Louis was pushing me out the door. "You're right" I agreed with him. "Wait, wait, wait, it's seven in the evening. You can talk to her tomorrow" Will pulled us back into the house.

The next morning

I woke up as early as ever and got ready to see Y/n again. Louis helped me get ready.

"What if she says no?" I asked him. "Why would she say no?" He asked me. "You have a good point" I replied to him. "Good luck out there" he said to me before I left.

Y/n's POV

"Y/n get up" I heard Timothy. "What do you want?" I asked him. "I can't explain just get up" he dragged me out of bed.

I brushed my teeth and when I got back to my room, Timothy had clothes ready for me.

"Why are you rushing me?" I asked him. "You'll see, now get dressed" he said to me. "I'll get dressed later" I said before leaving my room.

I was walking down the stairs and saw Albert standing with my parents. I quickly ran back to my room and got dressed as fast as I could.

"What are you doing here?" I asked Albert. "Well, your father has given me his blessing and will allow me to marry you, as long as you say yes" he explained to me. "Yes yes yes, a hundred times yes" I wrapped my arms around him. "Aren't William and I the best younger brothers?" Timothy asked me. "You two planned this?" Albert and I said in unison.

He nodded his head.

Third Person POV

Albert and Y/n spent the entire day outside of London. They were in a huge field with miles and miles of grass.

"You know, your father sent me a letter yesterday" Albert said. "What was it about?" she asked him. "William called him yesterday morning and convinced him" he explained. "Our brothers are really matchmakers aren't they?" Y/n said. "I'm not complaining" Albert said. "I'm happy we could be together" Y/n confessed. "I love you more than this world" Albert said before kissing her softly.
