Tears brimmed in Anna’s eyes. She ran and flung her arms around Ryan “ I am so sorry! Things have gone so horribly wrong. This is not how it was supposed to go!” Anna exclaimed, hugging Ryan who gave her an awkward pat on the back in return.

“Hey, I’m standing right here. I’m in this situation too you know” Luna pouted and crossed his arms.

“Luna, you don’t know what we are going through. You just walked into this situation a second ago” Ryan replied as he peeled Anna off of him and patted her head endearingly.

Luna ran a hand through his hair and sighed “Right, sorry. I just, I just wish someone would hug me and want to make me feel better. My cousin dragged me here just to dump me into this mess, and he didn’t even stick around to explain anything to me, so I’m a little on edge”

“Which is totally understandable! Do you want a hug too?” Anna asked, reaching out an arm towards Luna.

“Urgh no, don’t be cringe” Ryan said and pushed Anna’s arm down.

“But he hurts! Clearly, look at his face. Rya- I mean Rachel you hug him, he’s your fiancé now” Anna beamed and tried to wriggle her way out of Ryan’s grasp as Ryan was still holding onto her arms “Maybe this is fate” she added and winked.

Ryan’s eyes as big as saucers released Anna and folded his arms. “Really? You wanna start talking about that at a time like this?” Ryan said in a low whisper.

“Talking about what?” Luna cut in, lost in the conversation.

“ Hahaha, I think I should just go. Who knows, my parents might be waiting in the wings, ready to spring a surprise engagement on me too! Won’t that be exciting. You two better figure this out before you miss my great secret fiancé reveal” Anna said and laughed, dancing away as Ryan made a jab at her.

“I can’t wait, remember to put me down as bridesmaid, you know how much I will love that” Ryan replied and rolled his eyes.

“ Sure~” Anna giggled “ See you later you two!” she said and left. Gathering her many skirts in her arms and walking back towards the hall.

Ryan turned to Luna, who had returned to fiddling with his tie. Ryan walked over and grabbed the tie and pulled it down and unravelled it, letting it slide out of Luna’s collar entirely.

Luna looked up at Ryan shocked “ Umm…”

“You’ve been fiddling with that stupid thing all night, it’s annoying me. I can’t have a conversation with you if you keep messing with it. Take it and put it in your jacket pocket” Ryan explained, handing the unravelled tie to Luna.

“Right sorry” Luna said and shoved the tie into his inner jacket pocket “I don’t usually dress this formally, it feels really restrictive”

“Much like this relationship” Said and started walking, then stopped and turned back “but like all things that involve the Lovewins’ you’re gonna have to get used to it” Ryan added and walked further into the garden. There was a lit gazebo a few feet away from where they were, so Ryan decided to go there to continue their conversation.
