     "Surprise!" Newt, Tina, and Queenie all exclaimed. 

     "How did you get here!?" Jacob asked. "I thought you said he was in England!" 

     "Well, I did, but after I got home, Newt showed up out of nowhere!" Queenie said. 

     "He's published his book! I've heard it's awesome!" Tina said. 

     "Well, I wanted to see you guys again." Newt said. 

     Queenie smiled to herself. She had missed Jacob and Newt a lot, and she couldn't wait for the adventure that would surely come next. 

     Newt walked over to Jacob, and they shook hands. 

     "Do you still have your case?" Jacob asked. 

     "Obviously. How's your bakery?" Newt replied. 

     "Oh, it's great." Jacob said. 

     "So, Newt, you haven't given us any details. Why did you come here so quickly?" Tina said. 

     "Well, I wanted to give all of you signed copies of my new book... And I was missing all of you guys, so I decided to come back immediately." Newt said. "Tina, I believe I promised you a copy of my book in person." 

     Newt handed Tina, Jacob, and Queenie each one of his new books. 

     Queenie sensed that Newt had something on his mind. Newt was thinking about Tina, and he wanted to ask her something. Queenie smiled, and grabbed Jacob's arm. 

     "Sweetie, come on. Let's go look at the beasts together, over in my room." Queenie said. 

     Thank you, Queenie. Newt thought, as Queenie and Jacob left the room. Queenie nodded at Newt.

     Tina flipped though the pages of the book, until she got to the section of the book about the Niffler. Tina felt magic in the air, and she looked up at Newt. He had a huge grin on his face, and when Tina looked down, there was a note on the page. Well, a note and a ring. 

     Tina gasped. The note read: 

     Tina, would you marry me? I know it's sudden, but I feel right at home with you. Remember when we first met? The Niffler was the first creature you saw that came out of my case. I hope you say yes. 

     Love, Newt S. 

      "Oh, Newt... Of course!" Tina exclaimed. Tina walked over to Newt and hugged him. 

     Queenie and Jacob walked in the room, and as soon as Tina and Newt stopped hugging, Queenie hugged her sister. 

     "I'm guessing you said yes!" Queenie said. 

     "So, Queenie was telling me about your question. Congratulations!" Jacob said. 

     Jacob started talking about how wonderful it was, but Queenie wasn't listening anymore. She pulled away from her sister, and she cocked her head as if listening to something. 

     A thought came from behind the door. Isn't this the Goldstein sister's apartment? Maybe they know where Newt is...

     Everyone was looking at Queenie now, and even though she had never heard the voice before, she knew who it was. 

     "Leta LeStrange." Queenie whispered.
