AGE: 16

MR. O'CONNELL OR PATRICK, AS HE NOW REQUESTS us to call him when we aren't in school had taken both Mia and me to a secluded diner. I leaned back on my chair and munched on a french fry, savoring the saltiness. Mia was beside me, sipping on an orange juice as she gently pushed her pancake with her fork. 

"How are you, girls?" Mr. O--Patrick asked us curiously as if we hadn't just seen him the day before 

"We're good, how are you?" Mia asked him politely, placing her orange juice on the table, lifting her face to stare at him

"I'm good also, and I bet you two are wondering why I invited you for breakfast." Mr. O--Patrick started to say making Mia and I share a look 

"I thought you were just being nice," I told him with a smirk on my lips as I leaned back on the seat that I shared with my sister

"I am being nice, but I also have a question for you two. I am in love with your mother very much, and I love both of you girls as well. I want to marry your mother, but I don't want to make you two uncomfortable. If you two say no, then it's okay, I won't ask." Patrick assured the both of us nervously, messing around with his hands

"Finally, we found the ring about two weeks ago," Mia said laughing lightly and she leaned against me

"I can't believe you left it out in the open at the dinner table," I commented and giggled as I noticed his face flush at my words

"I thought you two were with Jeremiah, Michael, and Lilly. Helen was downstairs painting and I accidentally left it there when I went to the bathroom." Patrick defended himself immediately and the three of us shared a laugh

"We say yes." Mia and I answered his question after we gave each other a wide a smile and turned to face him
