Sometimes he gets so excited he’s like a puppy dog. She can almost sense his tail wagging at the wonders the modern world has presented him with, all the lights and the music and literature, but most all her, this wonderful, fiery, passionate woman that loves him just as much as he loves her. This is one of those times as he squeezes her hand and grins down at her with a twinkle in his eye that she knows means he has something wonderful planned. The last time he’d had this look it had ended with poetry, picnics and making love in the park at midnight.
He pulls her into a jewellery store and kisses her deeply, not caring that others are looking, she doesn’t care either, he has that effect on her, it’s like the world falls away and only the two of them are left. She doesn’t notice for a moment that they’ve moved until the sun hits something causing it to glimmer and she looks up at him confused, “Geoff?” she says not quite getting why they’re suddenly in front of a display full of diamond rings.
He grins again, trying hard to look innocent but flailing miserably “My love?” he replies gesturing for a sale assistant to join them. “I thought you might like to choose your own, you know what I’m like I’d get you something old fashioned.”
“I like old fashioned,” she assures him with a suggestive smile, “anyway choose my own what?”
“These are some our finest engagement rings,” the man says as he approaches.
That's when it hits her, it all makes sense and she swallows hard .”Oh!”
Geoff bites his lip worried by this reaction, but then he’s never done this before, maybe this is the normal reaction. “Have I done this wrong?” he whispers to her nervously. Her head’s still swimming as she looks up at him, and shakes her head, “no, no it’s...well it’s not how it’s normally done but you know me, I’m not one for convention.”
He kisses her again and turns his attention back to the rings, not really sure what he’s meant to be looking for.
“Square cut is very popular at the moment,” the salesman informs him, Geoff nods not understanding a word of it.
“I don’t need diamonds,” she says softly, she knows that despite who he is he doesn’t have all that much money.
“You deserve the best.”
“I have the best.” she tells him honestly.
“Pick a ring so I can ask you!” he says impatiently.
Paige closes her eyes and points to a vintage silver ring with a ruby in the centre, her birthstone, also the cheapest ring in the whole place. “That one.” she says without opening her eyes. He nods and pulls out some money, shaking as he hands it to the man on the other side of the counter, then waiting impatiently for the boxed ring to be returned to him.
“Well?” Paige says looking up expectantly, Geoff doesn’t speak he pulls her out of the store and into the adjacent park before falling to his knees and looking up at her, more nervous than she’s ever seen him before.
He’s lost for words as he fumbles to open the box, him! Geoffrey Chaucer has no idea what to say as he looks up at her, he had it all planned a whole speech about how beautiful she was, about how she’d changed his life and about how much he loved her and now he couldn’t remember a word of it. “Paige, my love, would you do me the honour of becoming my wife?” he asks.
She kneels beside him in response and wraps her arms around him “yes, yes, yes!” she replies tears running down her face as he takes her hand and slips the ring onto her finger. “Mrs Paige Chaucer, I like the sound of that.”
