Chapter 6: Dinner and an early night

Later that evening.

----------

Hannah and Grace sat in Grace's living room on the couch with local take out boxes from Grace's favorite chinese food restaurant. 

"Who knew that fried rice could be so good?" Grace groaned.

"Honestly I didn't think it could be. But then again I don't eat out a whole lot. I'm so used to eating my food from a plastic bag that is probably expired." Hannah laughed. 

Hannah finished her food and then set her empty container back onto the coffee table. 

"Are you ready to be a married woman tomorrow?" Grace asked clearing away the empty boxes and taking them into the trash.

"Actually yes I am. I'm rather excited for this new adventure." Hannah smiled. "It crazy how I went from single to engaged to be married in less than twenty four hours."

"I think it's a rather great match actually. The outfits we chose are perfect and we got a lot of the conversations out of the way. I think we are off to a great start." Grace added.

Hannah looked at their outfits that were hung up by the door and the rings that were set next to them. Maybe finally this was Hannah's turn to be happy.

"How do you think our families will react to the news?" Hannah asked.

"Honestly they will be shocked for sure, but happy for us nonetheless." 

Hannah thought for a moment. "I hope my parents will be happy, I think that they're so used to my relationships not working out that this will blindside them entirely." "I think that they want me happy regardless."

"They will be hun, It will all pan out I promise." Grace placed a hand on Hannah's shoulder.

"Well it's getting late we should probably head to bed so we can get a good nights sleep." Said Grace

Hannah stood up and followed Grace into the master bedroom. "Which side of the bed is yours?" Hannah joked.

"I always sleep closest to the bathroom because I swear I have to pee a million times during the night."

Hannah laughed. "I don't have to pee that much. In fact I think I'm an expert at holding my pee which I don't think is a good thing."

Grace pulled back the blankets and climbed into bed and Hannah did the same. 

"The real question is, are you the little spoon or the big spoon Hannah?" Grace asked.

"Always the big spoon."

"Oh thank the heavens. I love to be held. We are officially a match made in heaven." Grace laughed as she turned out the light. 

Hannah wrapped her arm around Grace's waist and for once things felt right. Maybe everything was actually going to be okay. 

"Hannah?" Grace asked through the dark.

"Hmm?"

"Do you think this will actually work out? I'm so tired of being unhappy."

"It will, I will make damn sure that this works out. I promise to do just that and to choose you and us first every single day. No matter what." Hannah held Grace tighter. "It's all going to work out. I promise." 

The two then drifted off to sleep.
