[Miss Rhiannon]

---

“Have you thought of a prize for winning our race the other day?”
Fong frowned and shook his head, but then his face brightened – “You won a competition, too. Have you thought of a prize?”
Rhiannon nodded immediately, “I have!”
Fong waited patiently as Rhiannon smiled at him.
“Well…” he laughed.
“Take me to the falls? I want to go swimming again.”

………

Fong opened a bottle of wine and offered it to Rhi as they sat on the edge of the cliff at the falls. They sat for a few moments, enjoying the tranquility of the setting sun and flowing water. Fong broke the silence, “Rhi…I have thought of a prize. Well…not a prize really. But I want to ask you something.” Rhi turned towards him, sitting up on her knees and curling her feet under herself. “Oh?”

Fong nodded and took a sip of wine. “Rhi…I want you to…I want you to have my child.” Rhi blinked and froze for a second. A baby…Fong’s baby…the thought warmed her heart like nothing had ever done before. She began to smile and kissed him, passionately. Breaking the kiss Rhi asked, “How soon do you want to have one?”
“When we are ready, of course," he responded, gently.

A few moments passed and they gazed happily into each other’s eyes.
“Fong…there’s something I think we should talk about…”
“Hmm?”
“Well…since we are talking about having a baby, maybe we should talk about…um…” she stopped and waited for him to chime in. Fong smiled happily, oblivious to the direction she was going. Rhi continued, “If we are talking about a baby, then naturally we would discuss, um…” She sighed and looked to him again, waiting. He looked back to her, waiting as well – seeming to not quite understand. Rhi took a deep breath and uttered one word as quickly as she possibly could…

“Marriage.”

Fong blinked and fumbled with his wine bottle, trying to take a drink – he dropped it. After a few deep breaths he smiled warmly to her and asked, “Will you…want to…will you marry me?” Rhi squealed and kissed him, again. After a few more minutes of kissing, Fong broke away and frowned, “I don’t have a ring to give you...yet!”

She giggled and shrugged. Then, she pushed him playfully onto the grass and leaned down to kiss him…
