"Laurie!" I giggled as he held my hands in his.

"What? Can't you imagine it? Can't you see us bashing around London?" Laurie laughed. I smiled and shook my head.

"Of course I can Laurie but what of my family? What of us?" I asked.

"Meg's married to a wealthy man. Amy is going to Paris. Beth has your parents. Everything will be alright my love. What do you say?" Laurie assured me.

"Oh Laurie. How I do wish to go to London with you. When do we leave?" I asked as I gripped his hands.

"We can start bashing around London in two weeks. Grandfather has us on the boat in three days and the journey should be about a week and a half." Laurie said. "I'm so glad you are coming with me (y/n). I love you. I'd rather be hanged than ever see you with another man. Marry me."

"Marry you?! Laurie, is that a good idea?" I asked.

"Of course. It seems to be the only way we will ever be truly happy together forever." Laurie said as he leaned in and kissed me.

"Then I don't know where to say." I said shocked. Laurie kissed me again.

"Say yes." He whispered.

"Then yes, I'll marry you. I love you Laurie." I said.

"I love you too (y/n)." Laurie said and kissed me one last time.
