Engagements! (Noah, Daria)

They had come to Bali for Daria's birthday and it was their last night in the gorgeous country. Noah had something special planned for the both of them. He took Daria out for a nice dinner that was their kind of fancy. When they were both full and had partaken in a few fruity drinks, Noah whisked her off to a Balinese night club. After dancing for hours, Noah suggested that they take a walk on the beach. He had ulterior motives, but he covered it all in just wanting to get away with her.



They walked in the sand in front of the resort they were staying in. The waves lapped at the shore and the moon glittered on the water. Noah wrapped his hand around Daria's and he grinned. "I really love being here with you," he said softly.

Daria turned to smile at Noah, the endless warm, black wash of the Indian ocean behind him. He was so, incredibly beautiful. "I love it too," she said. "I think... I though that I was in love with this place, a bit. When I came here when I was pregnant and loosing my mind, it made me feel real, and good, and whole again. And I was noticing that feeling again this time, except that I've been feeling that way for a while - before we came back here. I've been feeling this way for a while and it's all because of you." She slid her arms around his neck, touched her forehead to his.

Noah grinned widely as Daria said such sweet things. He wrapped his arms around her waist and he kissed her forehead. "I feel that way too. Actually that's pretty much what I wanted to tell you." And he wanted to propose, but he let what he had said sink in first.

"Well that's a relief!" Daria said, although she didn't have any fear that he would mind. She knew how he loved her (they'd been telling each other how much they loved each other all night) and that her habit of letting her mouth lead the way was part of it. She should probably calm down a wee bit, and stop vibrating and pointing. "Do you want to still ask? I mean I guess I just gave away the answer! But if you want to! You seem like you've maybe thought about this. Not that I haven't! I have. I really have. But you've got the props!"
