You look pretty pleased.

Is there a reason I shouldn't be?

No, but generally there's a reason you are.

Perhaps you'll find out.

[sips his rosé]

Could it be, an engagement.

I was wondering if you were going to figure it out before the announcement. Which seems moot, now that everyone in this room knows.

To be fair, Glory told me. Not really a hard attempt at playing detective.

We weren't going to keep it secret for long, anyway... not that there's any plans for the near future.

Like I told her, congrats. Big step.

... thank you. I'm sure you understand.

In some manner of speaking, I do.

My family isn't much for commitment, though.

You being the exception. There's nothing wrong with that.

Y'know, I'm the exception in a lotta ways. So, sure, why not make it positive for once.

I'll drink to that.

[raises his glass]

[well, he just has water for now, but you know what? he'll drink to it.]

So complimentary.

I'm... in a good mood, what can I say.

... Most people usually are, after something like that.

I suppose so. I... still don't understand it entirely, but it feels... right. It feels good.
