This whole conversation felt a little surreal, as Daff hadn't ever actually managed to envision what her own wedding would look like. With Noble everything had always been up in the air, now with Elias it seemed more and more likely and perhaps she should put more thought into it.

"Well no, he hasn't asked outright exactly," their conversation on her birthday had been the last time they'd talked about it directly, but they were very much on the same page. Never mind that it had been completely unsupervised in her greenhouse. This is why Dahlia got to enjoy the spotlight and do things properly, Daff clearly couldn't handle it. "He's been so patient with me, letting me get the shop up and running, finding my independence," Getting out of her own head and reaching the point where she could let herself fall in love with him. Reaching the point where she could tell him she was in love with him. "But we've talked about it. He understood my hesitations surrounding you and Mr. Honeyduke, and now I should like to think we won't have to wait any longer." His patience with her meant the world and now it was all worth it.
