"Eden Alexandria Queen Fell, will you marry me? No that is too dull....Edie, you are absolutely ineffable and I....ugh!" Gabriel had been struggling to find the right words to propose to Eden, not to mention, he had no idea how he was going to ask Crowley for his blessing.....
The Archangel jumped when there was a knock on his door. He quickly shoved the ring in his pants pocket and darted to the door. To his delight he was greeted by the sight of Eden and her godson Terry Adam. "Hi Gabriel!" Eden smiled up at him as little Terry sucked on his thumb.
The Archangel felt his heart ache. He had been spending weeks preparing for this proposal. But these past two weeks have been the hardest. He wanted to use as much time as he needed to practice the words he was going to say when he popped the question. But it came with a price. He hadn't been able to spend time with Eden. These past two weeks felt like an eternity.
"Eden." Gabriel said breathlessly, he rushed forward and pulled her into a hug. "I've really missed you."
"I missed you too, my love." Eden murmured, breathing in his familiar scent of lavender mixed with vanilla. "But you're crushing me and the baby."
Eden giggled as Gabriel apologized to Terry as he quickly pulled away. "I was wondering if you would like to take a break from renovating your cottage and come have lunch with us at South Downs." Eden said as she passed Terry to Gabriel. The baby really liked him and to Eden's delight, the Archangel, it turned out, was quite fond of children.
"That sounds lovely." Gabriel said as he shut the door behind him.
"So how's the renovation coming along?" Eden asked as they made their way down the dirt trail that would lead them to South Downs. Gabriel was pushing Terry in his stroller and nearly halted in surprise at the unexpected question.
"Oh uh it's coming along great....should be done in about a week!"
Gabriel fought the urge to not sigh in relief when Eden changed the subject as they saw the cottage in the distance.
