fiery_ringThe term has gone by quickly. They always seem to these days. It was sad seeing off Hilary today, a term earlier than the others, to join her parents in India.
She's just waiting for her parents to turn up, and watching Hilary go with a touch of sadness, when there's the sound of hooves. She looks up, and Will smiles down at her.
"Didn't think you could go off for Easter without saying goodbye properly, did you?" he says, jumping off. "Come around here."
He leads her around the back of the school to a quiet area.
"Close your eyes, I have a surprise for you."
Carlotta closes her eyes. When she opens them again, Will is kneeling in front of her, holding out a ring.
"Carlotta Maria Brown, I may not be able to have you yet, but will you one day marry me?"
She grins softly.
"Soon as you've shown you're okay for the circus life, yes William Frances, I will marry you."
He puts the ring on her finger. She kisses him softly.
"I know you might have to hide it at school, or from your family, for the time being." he says. "So don't worry if you have to. I just wanted it to be, you know, official. So that you don't feel worried about kissing and stuff."
She hugs him closely.
"It's going to be a long Easter without you." she says softly.
"I know. But one more term, and then we'll be together forever."
Carlotta looks at the sparkling ring, sitting with a perfect fit on her finger, and spends a happy few minutes in his arms before having to go and meet Harris at the car.
