Mattie stood before the curved white altar, so shocked that she repeated herself.
“Who’s getting married?”
“We are, of course,” said Eli.
They were at Georgia’s main square, inside a billowing tent that could have held two hundred people.
“Uh…come again?”
In her fantasies of this moment, Mattie had expected magic like fireworks and parades. Now she looked down, scuffing her thigh-high boots against the hard dirt floor.
“Well, how ‘bout it?” Eli flashed a confident grin.
“So, this…this is your proposal?” Mattie’s voice had gone flat.
“What I mean is…” Eli stared at the altar, frowning. Mattie knew this wasn’t easy for him. He was after all a knight, not a poesy-spouting courtier. “I thought, after what you heard me tell Artorius, that we’d be getting married. That’s usually how it works.”
“I see.” Mattie blushed. Thoughts ran through her head like a quick-cut movie trailer. I’m only eighteen and a half, and I want a real proposal. Maybe then I’ll consider it.
“To the ground,” she said, pointing.
“Wha—?”
“Get down on one knee. Pretend that I’m Artorius and do your Cyrano thing.”
Eli sighed and sunk to the floor. He brushed back his long blond hair and took her hand in both of his.
“Mattie,” he said, “you’ve had my heart since I first set eyes on you, though mine were the eyes of a dragon. I didn’t know it then, but I love you more each day. You are my Lumen, my own personal star.”
Tears began to form at the corners of Mattie’s eyes. From his kneeling position, Eli stared straight into them.
