After giving it a lot of thought, Everett decided he was finally going to do it. He was finally going to ask Una to marry him. Of course, he needed a ring to present to her when he proposed. One day, he went to the jewelry store to pick out a ring. As he looked around, the owner of the store asked, "Do 你 need help finding anything?" Everett said, "Yes, I do. I'm looking for the perfect ring. I'm planning on asking my girlfriend to marry me." The store owner smiled. "Yes, of course. Right this way." The store owner showed Everett a very beautiful diamond ring. Everett said, "That will look beautiful on her." The store owner said, "You picked a good time too. Everything is on sale." Everett said, "That's nice. Of course, 你 can't put a price on love." The store owner replied, "I agree. Your girlfriend is very lucky. I wish 你 all the best." Everett paid for the ring and said, "Thank you." As he left, he 说 to himself, "I can't wait to tell my family and Mrs. Stratton. They'll be so thrilled."
Una, Everett, and Kaitlyn had 晚餐 at a nice restaurant. As they ate, Una asked, "So, Kaitlyn, what are 你 majoring in?" Kaitlyn replied, "Well, I'm a biology major. I'm hoping to be a veterinarian." Una said, "You're an animal lover. That's great!" Kaitlyn said, "Yes, I've always been an animal lover. How about you?" Una replied, "Well, I always wanted a dog, but my mother is highly allergic. With that being said, I'm so busy with acting, I'm not sure I'd have time for one now." Kaitlyn said, "That's true. 狗 do require a lot of attention. I'm hoping to get one after I finish with veterinary school and get 更多 settled." Everett smiled as he listened to Una and Kaitlyn's conversation. He was happy to see that they were getting along so well. He thought, This is wonderful. I think it'll work if Una and I decide to get married.
THE END
THE END
"What do 你 mean?" Una once again prepared to listen. Everett replied, "While my immediate family was supportive of my dream to go into film editing, not everyone was kind. Lots of people told me that I couldn't do it: most of my schoolmates, some teachers, even my extended family." She said, "How awful!" He said, "I know, but I didn't let that keep me down. My father even told me that I should go for it, no matter what anyone says. I looked at different film schools, and I got accepted into one that is fairly close to where I grew up. Upon graduating, I started preparing to go to film school. I started that fall, and I got a job at the local 餐车, 晚餐, 小餐馆 to help my parents cover the apartment rent." Una added, "And that's where we met." Everett smiled. "Yes, Una. My life only got brighter from there." She said, "Aw! I say the same to you, Everett." With that, they kissed.
Some time later, Una and Everett were settled in a cozy small cafe eating sandwiches and sipping 南瓜 spice lattes while foil cutouts of cute ghosts and pumpkins hung from the walls around them.
"Thanks again, Una," Everett 说 after a time. "I just... I don't like small spaces very much."
Una smiled at him and reached across the 表 to touch his hand. "Hey, 你 saved my life once. It's time I saved yours."
They sat in a comfortable silence for a bit, enjoying this much calmer stage of their 万圣节前夕 celebrations. Una was first to break it.
"I can't believe we solved a real mystery! I can't wait to go 首页 and tell Mother what the secret of the haunted house is."
"Yes," Everett smiled at her. "The secret is my talented actress and her ghost impression."
Una beamed.
