"We used to be close before you traveled, " he said, leaning back with his hands on the floor behind him. 

 "We still are."

He shook his head, pushed out his mouth and narrowed his eyes staring at the floor. 
"Is Ike not the family friend you said was engaged? " he asked.

I just stared wide eyed at the ring in his right hand, it was all too real. "What?, You didn't expect me to kneel, now did you", he chuckled at his own words and took my hand, sliding the ring on it. •••• Trapped in a marriage of convenience by her father, Sifon must fight tooth and nail to come out unscathed but she'd damned before she lets him have the last laugh.
