Chapter 3
Heather and Smalls had arrived at the inn where the dance was. He took her coat, and hung it up on the hangar. When they went in, they saw their friends. Picket, Emma, Weezie, Kylen, Cole, and Henya talking in a big group. They walked over. Everyone in the group bowed.
“Guys, what did I tell you?” They all burst out laughing. Then Smalls started to laugh. Suddenly, the announcer announced, “It’s time for some slow dancing. Choose your partner, and come out onto the dance floor.” Smalls held out his hand to Heather, and led her onto the dance floor. Everyone else started to follow. While they were dancing, Smalls kept complimenting Heather.
“Heather, you look so beautiful tonight. I am sure there are many bucks here who can’t take their eyes off of you.”
“Oh, Smalls. I am pretty sure they are all looking at you because you are the king.” They both laughed, but Heather could tell he looked a little nervous. She shrugged off the feeling. Once the song had ended, he led her off the dance floor, and over to Emma and Picket.
“You guys did wonderful. We couldn’t stop looking at you two.” Picket told Heather and
Smalls.
“You guys were great too!” Smalls told them. After the dance, Smalls took Heather
home. They went to the back yard. They found a bench they could both sit down on. Suddenly, they spot Picket and Emma. Picket was down on one knee.

“Oh Emma, I have always dreamed we

Suddenly, Smalls got the courage. He turned to Heather and went down on one knee. “Heather, you mean the world to me. When we were stuck in the cave, my love for you grew even more. You will make an amazing ruler. I would love to have you by my side. Will you be my wife?”
“Of course, Smalls.” He pulled her up, and into an embrace. After a long time, they broke apart. They went to go find Picket and Emma. They found them sitting by the fire talking with each other.
“Congratulations to you both!”
“And you.” Smalls said, his arms were around Heather. “I have been thinking. What if we had a double wedding?”
“Oh, Smalls. That’s a great idea.” Heather said, hugging him. “What do you both think?”
“We would love that too.” They talked for a while, and then Picket took Emma home. Smalls and Heather were alone. Smalls still had his arms around Heather, and their heads leaning against each other. “I have waited for this moment for a long time.
“How long have you loved me?”
