Raymond and Nancy

Final Talk (Clara's P.O.V)

The year after Nancy and Raymond kissed at the airport in Spokane, Washington, America, they moved to Billings, Montana, America. Nancy and I had a video call on that night when she moved to Billings. Additionally, I turned 16 during that year.

"Hi, Nancy", I greeted. "How is Billings?", I asked.

"I have an exciting news!", Nancy exclaimed.

She did not tell me what the news was. Instead, she showed it: a ring was around her finger. I gasped then asked,

"Are you and Raymond-"

"We're engaged!", Nancy confirmed.

Mom heard the conversation, so she joined. "Let me see the ring!", she shouted. When Mom saw the ring, she gasper. Then, she excitedly shouted. "Oh, my daughter is engaged!"

Dad entered the house as he came from work.

"Lincoln, our daughter is engaged!", Mom exclaimed.

"Yes, she is engaged", Dad replied, nodding his head.

"You knew Raymond would propose, didn't you?", she asked.

"He asked for my blessing", Dad replied.

"When did he ask for your blessing?", Mom asked.

"That was the moment when you made me exit the conversation", Nancy told Raymond.

"Yes, it wad that moment", Raymond confirmed. "Sir, I am thankful for trusting me your daughter's life."

"You do not need to be formal: your moms are friends since pre-school, so I know my daughter is on the safe hands", Dad replied.

"Nancy, you must be the only college freshman, who is engaged to a blue-collar worker", I commented.

"Actually, I am worried your marriage will be a distraction from your studies, Nancy", Mom admitted.

"I can assure you that will not be the case", Raymond promised.

"Alright, what is the plan for the wedding?", Dad asked.
