Iden had taken the day off at the shop, but hadn't told Michael that. Instead, he had spent the better part of the day whipping up a four course northern Italian meal. When Michael arrived, he would find most of the living room magically cleared, Inky away at Moira's house, a fire in the fireplace, and a beautifully set table near said fire. Iden closely monitored the panna cotta as it cooked and poured it into its dishes to set. It looked suspiciously like everything was just about ready... not that he actually knew exactly when Michael was due in from work.

Michael laughed excitedly and looked around as if he was lost. He couldn't think straight. A pen and parchment were in the writing desk, but, of course, that didn't occur to him.

He took a deep breath and looked down at the table, seeing the ring. He picked it up, careful not to get sauce all over it and held it up between them.

"I suppose I shouldn't wear it on my left ring finger or everyone will think we've already run off to get married. How about the right hand?" The question was rhetorical. Michael put the ring on his right ring finger and held his hand up for Michael to see.

Michael kissed Iden again and said, "Right, so, owl." He walked over to the desk and jotted a very brief note to his mother. It read "I said yes." He walked it over to the kitchen window and woke up the owl.

"Take this to mum," he said, holding up the note. The owl took the letter from his hand and flew out the window.

Michael returned to Iden.
