Then he heard what she said and realized that she had misunderstood his gesture. 'That's what happens when you don't say what you're supposed to say, Sander. People have to try to read you mind.' Sander admonished himself.

Sander quickly shook his head.

"No...no....I'm giving you an engagement ring....I mean I may one day....sometime in the future...I mean...." Sander stammered out. Then he paused. He was doing all this all wrong. He had to slow down and do it right.

"I know that we're too young to get married. This isn't an engagement ring. This is a promise ring. This ring is my promise to you to remain faithful to you. To love you and to never cheat on you," Sander blurted out the reason for the ring.

"I know we're too young to get married. We both have things we want to accomplish first. I want to play pro-ice hockey and you first need to graduate and then play Pro-Quidditch. I just want to give you this as a promise that when the time is right, I would like to marry you. So this ring represents my promise to you,"

Sander took a deep breath and got down on his knees. Holding the ring up again, he looked deep into Tessa's eyes, cleared his throat and asked his question.

"Tessa Hedge, I love you very much and always will. Will you do me the honor of wearing my Promise Ring?"

Please say yes and make me the happiest man in the universe.


Tessa felt a war happening in her mind. She loved Sander- he was closer than a best friend ever could be, and she couldn't imagine her life without him... but marriage? She wasn't ready, there was so much left to do And they were too young! Their friends would be in support, of course, but how would it look to the recruiters? To outsiders and others? Their careers put them in the public eye, and the public eye could be very critical and harsh...

But it was Sander...

And now he was shaking his head. Her inner turmoil quieted and she listened to what he was saying. A promise ring. She felt everything relax within her and she smiled at her boyfriend. "You know you didn't need to get a ring for that," she murmured, her voice hoarse. "I know..." her throat caught. "I know you will be all of that and more," she whispered, smiling at him.

SHe wasn't able to speak at his question, she was so happy. It filled her to the brim, and while she knew Sander was waiting for an answer, but it took her a moment before she was finally able to get out "Yes!" She jumped forward, pushing aside all of her aching joints, as she jumped forward to wrap her arms around Sander. "A thousand times yes!" she exclaimed, hugging him tight.
