The proposal: Part 2

“What? Babe what are you...,” a shocked or rather surprised Lee-Ann stutters while looking at Simo who is down on one knee with a ring on his stretched hand. It is not the response he was expecting, considering that he’d already proposed to Lee-Ann before and she’d said yes but just only that they hadn’t told Lee-Ann’s parents just yet. The lawn has suddenly gone silent. Everyone is breathlessly awaiting a response. Some are shocked, especially from the Stain family and friends.

But this silence is broken by a shout, “Over my dead body” Morgan protests as he stands up from his chair approaching the couple. Lee-Ann, even though she may have expected her mother to be the one protesting she is not overly surprised by this from her dad.
