10. Proposal

30 Minutes Later :

Della saw her dad's silhouette, and she knew it was time to say goodbye to her brother.
"Promise me you'll be okay."
He nodded, smiling softly.
"I promise. Promise me we'll keep in touch."

She hugged him tightly.
"I promise we'll keep in touch."
They let go as Della's dad got closer, that's when she noticed he got a tall, slender, beautiful lady with him.

Noah ran towards the lady and hugged her, much to Della's surprise.
"Hey, mum !"
She heard him say, and she walked up to them.
"Hey, dad.."

She said, shocked.
"Hey, Honey. I was going to introduce you two but I think someone already knows her."
The woman, Liza, turned to Henry, smiling.
"That's my son who I was talking about."

Noah turned to Henry, shocked as well.
"D-Della is my sister."
"Oh."
Liza said, also shocked. She has always thought Noah was just a kid, and he might've made that up.

She thought that the sister of him might've been imaginary.
But she was completely wrong.
"Nice to meet you, Della."
Liza shook the girl's hand, smiling.

"Nice to meet you too."
Della smiled back.
Henry spoke next.
"Kids, do you mind going for a walk ? I need to talk to Liza here."

The siblings didn't know how Henry and Liza knew each other, but they obeyed anyway.
They went for a walk.

Henry stood facing Liza as she eyed him, trying to keep a straight face.
"You know we can't keep them separated forever, right ?"
She nodded sadly.
"Yes, I know. But what do we do ? Noah lives with me, Della lives with you."

"Yes, but..They're siblings, they should be together. You know, I didn't believe Della when she mentioned her little brother, but here he is."
She shook her head in agreement.

"That's exactly what I thought. They were just kids, I thought Noah was making that up. But I should've known he was old enough."
"I know right ! The thing is, you know I still love you, right ?"

Her expression changed to confusion.
"What are you saying ?"
"What if we go back together, and make the kids live with us ? They're siblings after all, and I do miss spending every single day with you in the house. What do you say ?"

Liza felt as if her heart would jump out of her chest from happiness.
"Yes."
"OK, then, I want to do this properly."
He let out a ring from his pocket, kneeling on one knee.

"Liza Pearce. Will you marry me ?"
She nodded happily.
"Yes ! A million yes !"
They hugged each other, then kissed passionately.

15 Minutes Later :

The siblings came from their walk, and found Henry and Liza hugging each other.
Della chuckled.
"Did we miss something ?"

Henry smiled at them, and spoke excitedly.
"We're getting married !"

Della and Noah's face dropped with shock.
