Work Text:
The card has a simple design on it, a smiling earth, but the words around it matter more ‘You mean the world to me’. Alex has always been careful with her words, but this time she’s even more careful, honest and true.
‘Marry me.’
Two little words that make Paula’s heart skip a beat and she’s quick, so quick to reach for her phone, to pull up Alex’s number and call her. Alex barely finishes her greeting before she answers.
“Yes… yes I’ll marry you.”
Alex’s laugh is barely audible but she smiles all the same.
“Pick you up tonight?”
“Absolutely.”
Later, work finished for both of them, Paula greets Alex with a smile and a kiss, finally believing that what they have is real.
