    Summary

    "Have a nice life, Rumi," Zoey says ultimately. "Your five minutes are over."

    Rumi feared it might come to this. She didn't really deserve anything better. Still, she pulls the final trick up her sleeve out from the pocket of her jeans. The box is velvet beneath her finger tips. She takes one knee in the center of Zoey's kitchen and flips the top to reveal the diamond ring sitting in a silk bed.

    "Oh you've gotta be fucking kidding me," Zoey breathes in absolute shock. "Rumi, stand up. Right now."

    "Zoey—" Rumi swallows against the lump in her throat. "I know—I know you really, really don't like me. And I—And I get that but if you won't forgive me at least let me do this for you—"

    "Rumi, I'm so serious. Stand up! What are you doing? Is that a ring real?" Zoey's voice pitches high enough to ring just on the edge of unpleasant but still Rumi remains steadfast.

    "Will you marry me before I deploy?" Rumi rushes out in a tremulous breath.
