A new day dawned and Elly woke after a sleepless night thinking about everything. She had come to the conclusion that the only reason she was questioning things was because someone she loved as a friend had kissed her. It had never happened to her before and that's why all the confusion was happening, well at least that's what she was putting it down to.
"Good morning future wife of mine" Mark said as he greeted Elly with a kiss.
Elly almost jumped when Mark kissed her, she was miles away.
"I didn't mean to scare you".
"Sorry babe I was miles away".
"Everything ok?" Mark asked.
"Yeah, everything is fine I just didn't sleep that well, I think it was my headache. I'm ok though..." Elly replied.
"You still want to go ring shopping?"
"Of course, give me a couple of minutes" Elly replied with a smile on her face.
The two of them headed into the city to visit Elly's favourite jewellers, the two of them couldn't wait to find the perfect ring.
Meanwhile back in Erinsborough, Chloe was waking up after an extra long lie in. She was feeling refreshed and looking forward to the day ahead before she realised that tonight was the big engagement party. Putting a smile on her face she headed into the kitchen to make herself a strong coffee, it wasn't long before she noticed a note on the side from Mark.
"Gone ring shopping, see you later" Chloe said reading the note out loud.
Chloe scrunched the note up and threw it against the wall in jealousy.
"Wow what's wrong with you?" David asked as he went to the fridge to grab a couple of beers.
"The bloody thing gave me a paper cut" Chloe replied thinking on her feet.
"They are the worst aren't they!"
"They sure are" Chloe said walking over to pick the note up.
"Come and join me and Aaron were just soaking up some extra rays before the party" David replied hoping Chloe would join them.
"I might but I need to have a shower and start getting ready... thanks though" Chloe explained.
"Anytime" David replied heading back outside.
"That was close" Chloe mumbled to herself throwing the note into the bin.
A while later a very happy looking Mark and Elly returned to the house, they were over the moon that they had picked out the perfect ring.
"I'm so glad we managed to find the one" Mark said looking down at the ring on Elly's finger.
"Me too, it really is perfect! I love it" Elly replied as the couple embraced.
Chloe walked out of her room just as the two of them were kissing, she immediately stopped to look at the two of them.
"Don't mind me, just pretend I was never here" Chloe quietly said as she turned around ready to head back to her bedroom.
A nervous smile arrived on Elly's face as soon as she heard Chloe's voice, she knew that this was going to be a bit awkward as there was still a weirdness surrounding the two of them.
"Hey come take a look at Elly's engagement ring" Mark said.
Elly began to fiddle with her ring because she was nervous about Chloe seeing the ring. The last thing Elly wanted was for Chloe to feel sad or uncomfortable.
