Mitchel was finishing up a sale when Oliver and Yvette walked in hand in hand.
"Hi Mitch," Yvette said cheerfully. "We're just on our way to Mom and Dad's, but though we might stop here first to tell you the news."
"Oh?" Mitchel asked.
"As of, oh, half an hour ago, Oliver and I are engaged."
"Oh! Well, congratulations!"
"Thank you."
They chatted a little longer, before Oliver and Yvette made the rest of their way to her parents' home. Ivan was the one who answered the door.
"Hey," he said.
"Hey, Mom and Dad here?"
"Yeah," and Ivan turned his had to call: "Mom! Dad! 'Vette and Oli are here!"
Ivan then moved to go back to the TV. His parents soon entered. Within minutes, they too, had heard the good news, and there was much congratulating going on as Libby entered the apartment, all sweaty from her basketball game.
"What's happening?" she inquired.
"Yvette and Oliver are engaged," Mrs Ryan said happily.
"Oh. 'Bout time," Libby nodded, then went off to have a shower.
"Don't mind her."
"We won't," Yvette smiled.
