It was the first time Ashley Fauna and Vanessa Smith had celebrated Christmas in their own home. But that wasn't the only reason this year's holiday was special.

— V, can you open your present in the red box first? This is very important, — Ashley was very nervous when she asked her girlfriend.

— It smells like chocolate, — Vanessa caught a sweet scent coming from the box.— I understand why it's necessary to open it first.

— That's not the only reason, — Fauna said timidly.

— Ashley, is that..? Are you..? — when Smith opened the box, her surprise knew no bounds. There were chocolate candies in it with the phrase «Will you marry me?» on it.

— Yes, I… — Ashley wasn't sure if her girlfriend's surprise was pleasant, but she wasn't going to deny intentions, even though she was very scared.

— Please, say it out loud. In front of everyone, — a happy smile appeared on Vanessa's face. She might not have expected it, but she was definitely glad of it.

— Oh… Okay… Vanessa Katherine Smith, will you marry me? — her girlfriend's reaction and words gave Fauna courage.

— Yes! Of course, yes! — Smith replied without any hesitation.

Ashley Fauna and Vanessa Smith is my original characters. They're in love with each other and from that day on live together in their own small house in Vancouver.

In a few years, Ashley and Vanessa will get married, and then adopt two cats. When the women retire, they'll buy ranches and horses. But for now, Ashley and Vanessa are enjoying each other's company.
