First of all thanks for the comments on the previous chapter, I'm glad to know you love it so much still. I hope you'll like the next chapter as well.
The next day Harry and Liv were indeed up bright and early for a day of meetings. The first official engagement as a couple was going to be the next week already as she and Harry were going to visit the Help for Heroes Recovery Centre in Wiltshire.
Harry was devoted to the veterans, and doing something for wounded soldiers had brought them together. So it was nice for them to go to a place Harry had ties to firstly. Secondly, it was nice to start their engagement visiting a place with veterans, seeing as their relationship had started with doing something for veterans.
It was another way of symbolising things with them. It was great for them to have that connection in a way. It was going to be the next Wednesday already, followed by a visit to the Burrell Street Sexual Health Clinic. It had been a place where Harry had kick-started the self-test HIV test, another important part of Harry's charities and organisations he supported.
So they loved the idea of visiting those two places first. So they already had two places planned for the next week.
If she were being honest she was so ready to get started all of this. No time like the present to get things started.
"You'd like to marry here don't you?" Harry asked her as they went to check the Abbey. "You know it's my absolute favourite abbey in the entire world. I have the chance of marrying here, so if you want to get married here, I'd like that. But it isn't my decision alone Harry." She told him as she tilted her head back to look at the amazing ceiling.
"Why this one, not St. Pauls?" he asked her as she walked up to her, their PO's standing to the side. "I don't know. This was one of the first places I saw when I came to the UK. I always loved the gothic architecture above the baroque. And this one has so much more amazing and inspiring history. I mean look at it." She told him as she waved her hand around and turned on her feet.
"Then we'll marry here." He whispered in her ear as he wrapped his arms around her middle and kissed the side of her neck. "you sure?" she asked him, tilting her head back to look at him. He grinned at her and nodded his head.
"It'll be nice to marry here. Gran married here, William married here. So many married here and it'll be the place of the coronation as well. It'll be the place of many new starts for us." He told her as she nodded her head with a grin.
"That's right." She told him as she turned around in his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I can't wait to walk down this amazing aisle and get up there to say our I will's," she said, nodding towards the step where they would basically stand on the day of their wedding.
"Me neither love." He grinned down at her.

as she made her way to her apartment, she'd managed to convince Harry to go to Kensington Palace. Things were crazy enough as they were right now. She just wanted an easy night in with her friends. She was sure her ring would be the big subject for now as no one had been told how much work Harry had put in or seen it.
She stopped at a traffic light, looking to her right where a newsstand stood. All front pages of papers and magazines were of them posing for the camera at their photo call the day before. It seemed she couldn't look anywhere without seeing her own bloody face. The news had spread around the world like a damn wildfire.
Social media had officially crashed as the responses came into their engagement. So far she was only aware of positive responses, much to her relief.
The TV was constantly replaying yesterday's interview and photo call. She'd officially gone on her phone, laptop and TV. Her radio had been turned down as well, she couldn't listen to it anymore. Realising they were talking about her was just the strangest thing ever.
