Juliet had list of groceries spinning in her head as she tried to remember everything she had planned. She wanted to show up to New Years with a few dishes of her own in order to really win Kieran’s family over. Her nerves however were shot. “Stuffing, ham, what else was there?” She asked herself sighing deeply.

“You do know that you could just show up with a dog and Laura would love you, right?” Jill asked, barely capable of masking the amusement on her face as she pulled the cart to a halt. It wasn’t worth mentioning that they all did already, she knew it would fall on deaf ears no matter how many times Jill had heard it herself. “And my grandfather won’t be there, so it’ll already have them all at level one instead of ten.”

“Pretty dumb considering you’re the literal hottest woman in the world,” Juliet assured her as she stroked her friend’s beautiful red hair.

“That’s a downright lie.” Jill laughed, rolling her eyes, “but thanks. At least someone thinks so.”

“I want to make sure you have a ring that you love, besides it’s not like it’s a secret I want to propose to you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you and we might as well make sure we start it off properly with a happy woman,” He leaned in smiling pressing a kiss to her forehead.

“I’m perfectly happy already, you know. But if having a ring for your big moment is what you really want, then I’m not going to stop you.”

“That I will keep between the two of us since it went well. Otherwise I would rat him out and tell all of his secrets to convince you to leave him. But he actually seems like a decent guy that actually genuinely loves you. So I suppose he can live.”

“I guess I don’t have to know, since he didn’t run off afterwards. But I am still curious. Damn it.” Jill sighed, letting out a laugh. “I’m glad you approve of him, though. I don’t know what I would do if you didn’t.”

“Yeah I’m pretty sure that it’s just easiest to let them have their fun. But we could at the very least go buy you a ring. I want to make sure you have the ring of your dreams.”

“Jill I’ve seen him with you. I’ve also talked to him and he’s the first guy to actually talk back to me saying you could handle yourself if he broke your heart.”

“Half the time it’s because you’re the hottest woman ever, the other half is because he loves you.”

“I don’t think that he is either, but I just want to make it clear what does happen if he changes his mind.”

“If he wanted to leave, I’d let him leave. He shouldn’t be saddled with me if he doesn’t want to be, but I’m really hoping that never becomes a problem.”

“Especially Cass. I’m pretty sure she would purposefully tie me up and torture me if we didn’t let her do the planning.”

“She’d kill you, and then I’d have to kill her, or Juliet would find out we did it and kill me. We’ve probably just got to let them have their fun and my mom would probably be upset if she missed out. It’s nice to think about, though.”

“Oh I need to see that video if we’re being honest. Mostly because I need to see Callum being completely whipped because it’d be hilarious.”

“He puts up with so much of my crap. I don’t really know why half the time.”

“If it does go away I will happily murder him for leaving you two.”

“I don’t think that he would. If he didn’t when he found out about my moms and how Adrian was conceived, I think him running off isn’t a possibility. At least, that’s what I’m hoping.”

“She tells me I’m pretty and strokes my hear.”

“I think there’s video somewhere of me doing that to Callum, too.” Jill joked, shaking her head. “But I guess if she has to become really weird, that’s not the worst I could do.”

“I mean I’d say tomorrow if I thought it was a choice, but I know better.”

“If I thought for one second that Cassidy or your sister wouldn’t murder us for doing that without them, I would say yes.”

“Vodka drunk Jill isn’t too bad herself. If anything she’s sweet, which I do like.”

“Sweet, vodka Jill scares me. I don’t know her, she’s too nice.”

“I’ve been wanting to talk to you about the idea of getting married sooner rather than later and adopting Adrian afterwards.”

“How soon were you thinking?”

“Now you have a child and a boyfriend and actually seem happy.”

“It’s still weird if I think too much about it sometimes. I keep worrying that it’ll all go away.”

“I’m okay being a second place love after that little boy.”

“I know it’s the same with you. I think anyone with eyes could see it, and it’s honestly part of why I love you so much.”
