Rebecca smiling as she nodded agreeably.
‘Well, I’m not letting this pic go; I brought my pocket camera so smile you two.’ The two friends smiled and the picture was shot.
‘Come sit down, Sarah. I’ll take a picture of Cassie and you now’ said Rebecca.
‘Not a chance, dear sister! I’m not dressed appropriately for it, I’ll ruin the photo!’ Sarah sat down next to Rebecca.
Sorry, love, but you’re not sitting next to me tonight. They have arranged for you to sit across from me over there next to your buddy’ said Rebecca.
‘Okay, seating arrangements too! I’m impressed! Maybe I should go change into something better.’
‘Too late!’ said a voice behind her. It was Sam holding a bottle of English scotch that he had brought with him from home.
‘Sam, what are you doing?’ Sarah asked.
‘I figured that after all we’ve been through today and survived, we should celebrate the fact that we are still alive with a glass good old English scotch! Who can tell me I was wrong to think of this?’ Sam asked smugly. Rebecca hurried to answer.
‘I totally agree, we should be thankful for today’s outcome! Pour me a glass, love!’ she said raising her glass.
Make that two!’ added Cassandra. ‘I was almost slaughtered twice today! What are the odds of being safe within the presence of ghouls twice in one day?’
‘Well dear, would you like to join us with England’s finest?’ Sam asked.
‘I’m in! Let’s celebrate!’
Sam poured the scotch and as they raised their glasses to toast, Gregor walked into the room formally dressed in a sheik suit that bared his family crest. Handsome, was to little a word to describe how he looked, thought Rebecca.
‘Before you toast, would you care to pour me one?’ he asked.
Sam put down his own glass to pour one more for Gregor.
‘My pleasure!’ He gave the glass to him.
‘Good evening to you all.’ said Gregor and was immediately responded to. Sam lifted his glass once more.
‘A toast, to old friends, new friends and surviving everything that the forest revealed today!’
‘Here, here!’ The rest spoke out loudly.
‘May I also make a toast?’ Gregor asked.
‘Of course, we’re all listening!’ answered Sarah.
‘I’d like to toast to courage and loyalty that all of you demonstrated quite well in the worst of circumstances today and to new friendships!’ They all cheered and bumped their glasses.
They seated themselves and went on talking about the day’s experiences. Soon enough dinner was served. A traditional Greek dinner which consisted of roasted rack of lamb with roasted baby lemon potatoes and Greek salad with garlic sauce and goat’s cheese. A red wine was also served with the meal and to top it all off Mrs. Marina brought in her famous pastry baklava to sweeten up her tenants. Everyone of them was filled with guilt after the large dinner went down.
Cassandra had waited patiently but now she was ready to get an answer.
‘Could we at last talk about what happened out here today? Are we really going to meet with them again?’
‘Before I answer that, there is something I would like to let you all in on. Fanis, come bring it!’ Gregor said.
Fanis brought a bottle of chilled champagne, popped it open and served them all including Mrs. Marina who had joined them at that moment. Gregor pulled Rebecca close to him and put his arm around her as he lifted his glass in the air. Everyone’s eyes bulged out of their heads.
‘Your most beautiful friend Rebecca and I have decided that we would like to share the rest of our lives together. We believe we are a match and that is why I have asked her to marry me. She has accepted and we want you all to be a part of our new life together and our celebration. To new relationships, new friends and family and most of all, to my very beautiful
