"That is true, and I am still trying to understand how I got so dang lucky," he sighed, as he couldn't imagine life without Alina, nor did he even want to. As for a ring he knew he had to get Alina one, a legitimate one even though she said yes to a plastic ring; he wanted it to be real and for everyone to know. "Yeah I think I just might, show her how much I love her each year," he replied and took a bite, turning to his sister. "I hope so too," he nodded, "and you're tough and everything and could probably kick my ass, but I've got your back always. I hope you know that. Except maybe against mom, even at thirty one she scares me." @genovevaxmarrero

"I know, but she said yes even though did propose with a plastic ring from a water bottle." Honestly, Genoveva loved the sentiment behind it. To her, it showed how much the two of them really loved one another and that a diamond ring wasn't the reason that they were getting married. "That would be a cute little anniversary treat," she smiled at her younger brother. "I hope he's a good guy for being an attorney, but I watch far too many criminal shows to know that they can also be the bad guy. I haven't had any bad vibes from him, but I'm still cautious." @enriquemarrero

kismet harbor's 100th annual winter festival - ornament and wreath making

Genoveva had worked in the morning, running the morning news as she did most days a week. She had taken a small nap after and was feeling energized to get out and explore Kismet Harbor's winter festival. Though it rarely snowed, she loved that Kismet Harbor still got very into the winter holiday with decorations and even providing fake snow for children and adults alike to get the experience of a full-blown winter. She always made an ornament and had decided to go to that first before getting something to eat. Genoveva was standing at the ornament selection and sigh passed over her lips. "I always have a such a hard time deciding what color to go with," she said to the person standing next to her. "What color are you thinking?"

"I know, I know," he shook his head, "of course not, I just wanted to do it right with a ring and the whole shebang. I still feel bad that I originally proposed with the plastic ring from a water bottle." He winced softly, though that plastic ring meant the world to him and he knew it meant the world to Alina. Then laughing he shrugged his shoulders, "who knows. Maybe I'll start proposing on every anniversary. You know, as a way to keep the magic alive, like asking her if she wants to renew our vows." This time his eyebrows shot up as did the corners of his lips, his expression one of excitement before it turned to curiosity, "of course. And oh? Hm an attorney huh? I'd say I'd vet the guy but he's gotta be a good dude... Right?" @genovevaxmarrero

"Ah, she already said once. Were you worried she was going to change her mind?" She teased her brother, knowing the two of them were living with each other, too. "Mhm, just this time so don't go trying to propose to her for a third time. I just can't let it fly." Genoveva flashed him a grin as he divided up the food between the two of them. "I'd expect nothing less but I wouldn't get your hopes up." She joked with him, "Though I did have the hot assistant DA spot me at the rock climbing gym the other day." @enriquemarrero

Ricky gave his sister a short chuckle, before shaking his head. "I was nervous, what do you expect!?" He asked, though technically they had already been engaged when he re-proposed at the winter fest, but at least this time he had an actual ring to give her. "Oh just this time you can forgive me? Glad to know that's how you really feel," he teased as he leaned forward to divvy up the food between the two of them. He nodded whilst listening to her, "yeah I had no clue. But I'm glad Nazli was able to help," he turned to reply to his sister. Though he was just glad Alina's brother didn't seem to say anything, knowing fully well how protective he was over her. "It couldn't hurt, though who knows when that'll happen?" He joked, fully teasing her before getting serious, "I'm sure your time will come and you'll find a great guy. Though I'm fully prepared to vet the dude beforehand." @genovevaxmarrero

The relationship between Ricky and his sister was one where they could walk into each other's apartment as they each had a key. So he hadn't hesitated to walk right in, not even knocking, though he did text first so he knew he wasn't about to walk into anything that would scar either of them for life. As he settled on the couch, he took a bite and nodded before explaining. "Yeah and hey!" He winced playfully, "I'm sorry! I was afraid if I said something to you, I wouldn't be able to stop and then I'd wind up spoiling the surprise for Alina!" He rubbed his chest where slapped him, though it didn't hurt. "And she absolutely loved the ring, I'm really glad I asked Nazli to help, because I had absolutely no idea what I was doing." @genovevaxmarrero
