Daphne laughed at that.
Don't ask me for any either, then, she retorted, before saying goodbye.
(temp adoption?)

Next she dialled Hira's number, still grinning idiotically and filled with joy.

Re: World 8 - Brave New World
However, she got no answer, so she just left a babbling and excited message on the answer phone. Then she hung up and tried phoning Rhia instead.

Re: World 8 - Brave New World
Hearing the phone ring, I crossed the hall to go answer it.
Hello?
Rhia, is that you? Daphne asked. I could tell immediately from her tone that she was excited over something.
Who else would it be? I asked, laughing. Anyway, what's happened? You sound really happy over something.
I am... Matt and I are engaged.

Re: World 8 - Brave New World
Congratulations, I replied at once, smiling and wondering briefly if there was some kind of engagement fever going around.
Thanks... yeah, he asked me tonight, on our anniversary. And on the moon.
On the moon?! I gasped, and she laughed.
Yeah, he flew us there. It's been this weird fantasy of mine, going to the moon.

Re: World 8 - Brave New World
Sounds brilliant, I grinned. Congratulations again.
Daphne thanked me again, and said goodbye before hanging up and trying Hira again. When she got voicemail once more she decided to hang up, and give the phone to Matt. She knew he'd want to call Janice and tell her the news.

Re: World 8 - Brave New World
He smiled his gratitude over to her, and then sat down and dialled the number nervously. His ex-wife answered on the fifth ring.
Hello? Who's there?
It's Matt, Janice.
Matt? Why are you phoning? Is something wrong?
No, everything's fine.... more than fine. I just wanted to tell you.... Daphne and I are engaged.

Re: World 8 - Brave New World
Janice was stunned into silence for a moment, and didn't say anything. Matt began to wonder if they'd been cut off.
Janice? You still there?
Yeah, I... she nodded numbly. I'm just shocked, I guess, I really didn't see this coming. Congratulations, though....

Re: World 8 - Brave New World
Are you.... are you ok with it? he asked hesitantly.
Why shouldn't I be? I'm just shocked, that's all, she repeated. I know you've mentioned her, but I didn't think.... so soon....

Re: World 8 - Brave New World
Matt eventually said goodbye and hung up, still not entirely sure if she'd been ok with it or not. Not that that mattered. Not any more.

Re: World 8 - Brave New World
Seeing Matt placing the phone back down in its cradle, Daphne raced over to kiss him briefly, before explaining that she was running to Kansas to tell her dad the good news. She grinned and hugged him before blurring away again.

Re: World 8 - Brave New World
(Daphne and Matt are engaged Think that's it )
It was awful, all the time I had wasted being away from here, hating the life I had escaped from, and somehow, I was back here, trapped again already. I kept telling myself I would go home on the next flight, but it was good, it was comforting. Watching the games again, ranting about how the shit the other teams, beer and the hot chicken wings. I felt like I had my family back - but I didn't. It didn't take a genius, let alone an ability to work out that Hanna was jealous of Jose's interest in me, and she seemed to be blaming me, like I was leading him on. And my mum only answered the calls when it suited her - saying that her daughter who was dating a politian was back home for a while sounded good, and it was all about appearance to her
So no, I didn't have my family back. But I had my brother.. And it was impossible - it hadn't even been two weeks since I had got here, but it was like we hadn't grown up hating each other. He talked me about his architecture things, I told him how boring it all was, I drank beer, and he drank soda, while we watched TV, we played stupid board games, we had lame inside jokes. It was almost like the childhood I had never spent with him.

Re: World 8 - Brave New World
Daphne continued to run, slowing only when she reached her family's cornfields. She could see the house from where she stood, but she still deviated away a little, going off to talk to Ray the scarecrow. She knew he didn't answer back or hear - she wasn't stupid - but it was still comforting. It reminded her of the time she'd made him and so saved her dad's crops that year.

Re: World 8 - Brave New World
She fussed around the scarecrow for a bit, smiling slightly at her nostalgia. Then she raced up to the front door. She knocked upon it once heavily, and hugged her dad closely when he answered.
I'm going to be getting married!! she announced proudly to him.
