Dreaming big -- Fall 1998

I was relieved that he did not mean Lucius.  "Well, I did not have to go the traditional route due to Chloe's family disowning her.  But just be honest about your feelings and up front about your intentions," I answered, hoping that it was helpful.

Well, that made sense I supposed.  "Alright... and how do you suggest I hsould ask June?" I asked, wanting as much advice and guidance as possible.

Chuckling, I grabbed my mug.  I took a drink before answering him.  "Well, you have to be true to yourself and to Juniper," I explained.  "When I asked Chloe, it was spur of the moment just like how our entire relationship seemed to be."

I raised my eyebrows at Remus.  "Wait... you were spontaneous?  You seem to be one of the most thought out, planning person out there," I said, a smirk playing at my lips.

"Surprisingly, when it came to my relationship with Chloe... it was anything but planned.  Trust me," I said, laughing adn shaking my head.  "I do hope that this all helps."

I nodded and finished my tea.  "Very much, thank you," I said.  I stood up and stretched slightly.  "I guess I should let you get back to work, eh?"

I stood up with him and walked around the desk.  "One last thing before you go, Linc," I said.  Passing him, I went to a cabinet and opened it up.  Rummaging around, I asked, "Do you have a ring perchance?"

I was watching Remus and realized what he was doing.  "Er... not yet.  But I will," I said quickly.  He really did not need to do anything for me... I was only adopted.

I puled out a box, wiping off some dust.  "Nonsense," I said, handing him a ring in a box.  "This was one of Cathie's rings," I explained.  "She is more of a mother to me than my biological one.  I'd be so happy if you'd use it to give to Juniper when you decide to pop the question."

I graciously accepted the box.  "Thank you so much," I said.  I gave hiim a hug -- he was one of the three people who I was comfortable with doing that.
