Let me put it this way. CHAPTER 01

Okay! Okay. This is easy, this is super easy. Unless Grady ends up murdering you. The other part of him answered. He hated that part of himself.There were two ways this could go, Grady would either kill him on the spot or he would make him suffer a slow death,such as not seeing Sophie anymore.Oh God... I don't want to do this. No! You have to. You do."If you keep pacing, I swear Keefe I will slice your feet apart!" He glanced at Ro who was cleaning her nails with a dagger. Keefe got that she was used to this, this "emotional" turmoils he had been having for the past week.That's how long he put off asking Grady and Edaline if he could... If he could marry Sophie.Yes, Sophie Foster. The love of his life. It didn't matter if Grady murdered him, he would die knowing that he had gotten the chance. Of being with the amazing-"Not to interrupt whatever your doing over there, let me put it this way if you don't go over to Havenfield and man up and tell Grady that you want to marry his daughter, I will-""YOUR GOING TO PROPOSE?!"Keefe whipped around and saw Biana and Fitz standing with expressions that can only be described as...fangirling."Ohhhhh mmmyyy Goodddd!!" surprisingly this came from both the siblings.Biana ran over and grabbed Keefe's hand, the excitement that came from her made Keefe wanted to jump with her too, Keefe glanced over to Fitz and that told him he was trying very hard not to do the same.It took Biana a few breaths to calm down and actually talk, "Your going to propose?" Keefe let out a nervous laugh and said, "Yeah...""Keefe I'm so happy for you. How are you going to do it? Did you ask Grady and Edaline yet? Oh my God what will Grady's reaction be to this? Oh he will probably kill you. No, he most definitely will. He never liked-""Biana!" Fitz shouted at her, and Biana instantly turned red."Sorry... I'm just so excited!" "What my fangirling sister is trying to say is that... Oh my God dude how could you not tell us?! I mean I thought we were best friends and sudden you decide to propose to one of most closest friends and NOT tell us?"When it was clear that everyone gotten there emotions out they sat down and talked, Keefe explained everything.It had started a few weeks earlier when Keefe and Sophie were just talking about past memories and in that moment when they living through the past Keefe realised how much he loves her. He had always known that of course but that day it become a part of him, as if loving Sophie Foster was what he was meant to do. To be by her side and he wanted to be by her side forever. And he knew, that he was going to propose. He glanced at Biana and Fitz, who Keefe was pretty sure was tearing up."So I was going to ask Grady and Edaline for permission." Suddenly Fitz's face set with determination and Keefe felt pure terror run through him."If you don't I will make sure everyone, I mean everyone, know what happened at that Level 3 midterm party."Keefes face darkened, "You wouldn't."Fitz edged closer to him until they were eye to eye, "Oh trust me I would. And then you would wish Grady murdered." A silence dragged through them."Okaaayy that got intense real fast. Keefe, we know Grady can give you a hard time but he knows how much you love Sophie and he does to, so your just going to have to man up and do it. Cause if you don't I will strangle you!"Keefe let out a sigh. Yes, she was right, and also now he had three death threat's on him. The Neverseen were so much simpler.He said his goodbyes to Fitz and Biana and took out his crystal to Havenfield.He loved Sophie Foster and that's all that matters.***Havenfield seemed to glare at him. Enter at your own risk, it seemed to say. This is easy. Just blurt it all out, preferably somewhere near Edaline.He took one step towards the door, then another. He knew Sophie wasn't home today, she was having a meeting with the councillors, she'd been complaining about it the whole week. Yes, that's who your doing this for. Sophie.He nervously entered the house, fumbling with his tunic. No one was around. Huh? Have they gone with Sophie?RAWRRRRRRNope! Just feeding Gerdi it seems.He maked his way to the enclosure and what he saw made his blood run cold.***Sophie was there. Why was she here? She should not be- It was sunset. He lost track of time.Before he could take out his leaping crystal, Sophie saw him and so did everyone else.He silently groaned."Hey!" Keefe couldn't help but smile, there were pankaes blossoms scattered around her hair and Gerdi seemed to have splashed around, Sophie apparently been the victim.He gave a hug nevertheless. "I thought you weren't coming today." He tried to keep from his emotions showing but it was too hard, especially with Sophie. She always did."Oh, yeah. Um... I just wanted to ask something of Grady and Edaline. How did the meeting go?"Sophie's face darkened, and Keefe could feel her getting nervous. She mumbled something between her breath."What?" He leaned closer towards her."They... Offered me to be this spot on this whatever thing." Since it was pretty clear that she didn't want to talk about it. Keefe let her be. She would tell him but when she was ready.***SOPHIE'S POVHow could I tell him? How could I tell him the councillors offered me a job that requires not being married. Forever.It was stupid. Who knew if he even had the idea of proposing?"Are you sure Mr Sencen is willing to do the same." Bronte had said. Of course. Keefe would ask her, be just needed more time. But Sophie had to tell him, they have to have this talk.Would it bother him that she was unmatchable? It never did but now...She didn't want to lose him. That she knew with all her being.***Just blurt all out Keefe. Just blurt it all out. But when he met Grady's glare, Keefe felt the need to cower. Okay... Let's do this."Sophie, can I talk Grady and Edaline... alone?" a wave of worry hit him."About what?""Recipes!" What? Recipes! What sort of excuse was that? Who wanted to talk about recipes?!"Okay..." Clearly confused Sophie walked away glancing back a few times. When he was sure she was a good distance away, like two miles away.When he looked towards Edaline, somehow Keefe got the idea SHE knew. "You wanted to talk about recipes?" Grady said in a clearly judging way. He walked away and Keefe voice stopped working. Damn it."Grady maybe you should stay." Keefe shot her the most grateful look he could muster."You want me to stay for... recipes?" Grady raised an eyebrow."It's a very important recipe." Edaline nodded at me to go on.C'mon Keefe man up. Or else Fitz will...That gave him motivation to go on."So...um... I've been thinking, for a while now and I don't know how to put it into words but I want-"RAWRRRR
