So.

Someone has swapped the bodies of my boyfriend and my boss, who I used to sleep with.

Somebody kill me, please.

My baby has beautiful hands, doesn't he?

Happy birthday to my sweetheart, my love, my better half, my darling.

I love you, Evan. I'm so glad you're in the world.

Things are working up to be more complicated than we anticipated. I may be later than I thought.

If anything goes wrong, remember I love you. I love you with all of me.

Lorne and I looked at three houses today.

*collapses*

I mean, our estate agent has found some beautiful houses for us in some great neighborhoods, but none of them are our house, yeah? we haven't found one yet whre I can see us making supper in the kitchen or inviting you all over for a party or where the kids can play in the garden.

(Nieces and nephews. I'm getting two nephews with this marriage. Whoo boy.)

I don't want to settle. We're going to be living in this house for a long time *knocks wood* and I want it to feel like ours from the moment we step inside. I have no idea how we find it, is all.

1. Name something you don't have but really want.
A house. But we're working on that. Knowledge of how to make our wedding perfect. That, I have no idea how to get.

2. Name something you have but don't want.
A burn on my thumb. (Just from the steamer. There's a bandage on it.)

3. 2 favorite material possessions.
My ring. My umbrella.

4. What are some relationship breakers for you?
Dishonesty.

5. What is the best part of your relationship with your partner(s)?
*smiles* All of it.

6. Describe what sadness is to you.
Lack of purpose.

7. Have you ever been in therapy?
Yeah, when I was a kid.

8. What is your favorite thing to do as a pick me up?
Be with Lorne.

9. Who made you laugh last?
Tosh.

10. What is the best article of bathroom stall graffiti you've ever read?
I dunno, I like Owen's example. I can't think of anything particularly clever that I've seen lately.

This is one part note-to-self as it is one part note-to-you. We'll need to do our house-viewing just on Saturday this week: we have an annual thing to take care of on Sunday.

Oh, I'll just tell you: we've got a frozen WWI soldier in the vaults and Sunday is the annual day we thaw him out and make sure he's still doing okay. It's a pretty good day, actually: he's a great bloke.

I can give you most of Friday if you feel deprived of my company on Sunday.

Ianto leaves the Hub mid-morning with errands to run. Most of them are for Torchwood--the Rift positively eats paperclips and marker pens, or the pterodactyl does--but there's also a personal thing he needs to find.

Luckily he knows exactly what he wants and where to find it. There's a shop whose owner knew his father, and once Ianto explains what he's looking for there's a velvet tray in front of him, filled with gleaming silver rings.

He skips over the plain ones: he wants something a bit more ornate. Lorne doesn't want a stone, either, so anything set with diamonds (or even a beautiful piece of amber) is rejected as well. He wants something like the black ring he's wearing, something with a deeper significance.

He finds it in the second tray, among the An Ri and claddaugh rings: a silver ring engraved with manuscript decorations, something masculine enough to look at home on Lorne's hand and beautiful enough to symbolize everything Ianto wants the ring to say.

The ring safely in his pocket, Ianto goes about his other errands with a noticeable bounce in his step.

Good god. I think I just asked Lorne to marry me.


I mean, I've been planning to for a while now, but . . . good god. Where's a paper bag when you need one?
