Raymond gave Tiffany a loving smile as she returned the kiss, he had been thinking about this for awhile as well and he was truly happy to hear it from her. Ray gave a lot of thought about it even asking Jack earlier in the day what his friend's thoughts were, Raymond set down his fork and pushed his plate to the side for now. "I've been thinking about it for the last few months as well." Ray said as he ran a hand through his hair, he always thought of a small wedding as well nothing big like Tatiana and Jack's were and a small ceremony. [color=lightblue]"I think we have some time to talk alone for a little bit, before the first dance and the cake."[/color]

Ray reached for his one crutch and slowly pulled himself up to his good leg, he looked over at Beatrice for a moment. [color=lightblue]"We will be back, just watch our food so no one takes it."[/color] Ray said jokingly as he looked over at Tiffany giving her a smile. [color=lightblue]"Where do you want to go?"[/color] He asked her, probably wouldn't be to far from the reception.

Tiffany thought about it some. She didn't want to make him walk a whole lot, but she wanted to enjoy some alone time before they went back to the reception for dancing and cake. [color=D9E0F9]"Maybe we can walk a little bit. Not sure what would be a good place. The cafeteria maybe?"[/color] She held her arm around him helping him walk. Despite his use of the crutches, she was still worried, especially given the fact he has fallen already. Guilt held her still.

[color=D9E0F9]"I just wanted to step away from the commotion and everyone. Talking about marriage kind of got to me a bit. It made me think of my fiance, Zachary, from way back when all this first started. Hell, we were in the midst of planning for the wedding when the crap hit the fan. We stayed together for a while, but he ended up getting bit. I tried to save him, but he was growing weaker and weaker. I had to put him down. It was hard, but eventually, I moved on. When we first met, it hit me hard then too, because it was similar. You got bit and I tried my best to save you and you ended up losing a leg. And you were growing weaker and weaker and I thought 'this is Zachary all over again' because I didn't think I would fall for someone again and I did."[/color] Tiffany tried to hold back what tears wanted to come out. She hadn't opened up much about all of this and the floodgates were on the breaking point.

[color=D9E0F9]"Sorry, I don't want to burden you with all of this on a happy night. I just needed to air it out. I wanted to tell you how much I care about you."[/color]

Raymond wrapped his arm around Tiffany's grateful for the support, normally he didn't really like others to help him walk but with Tiffany he didn't mind at all, and actually preferred it sometimes it made him feel more comfortable with her when they just walked along together. Ray pushed open the door. [color=lightblue]"The Mess Hall works for me."[/color] Raymond said softly, catching a small bit of what Kristina was asking Niesha as they started walking down Jefferson Street.

Ray listened to Tiffany a she spoke, it was also part of his job in Newnan to listen to others and how they are doing and their problems. He remembered their first conversation while they were in Franklin their first day, and her bringing up Zachary. [color=lightblue]"Don't be sorry, i'm still here because of you. We wouldn't be here now having this conversation if you didn't do what you did to save my life."[/color] Ray said brushing some hair out of Tiffany's face and gave her a loving smile. [color=lightblue]"I care and love you deeply Tiffany, I would do just about anything for you just to make sure that you are safe."[/color] Raymond said as they got closer towards the Mess Hall. [color=lightblue]"I don't see spending the rest of my life with anyone other then you."[/color]

Tiffany let out a small chuckle, mainly because it still didn't fully hit her how amazing Ray was. She was lucky to have him and he continued to make it known. [color=D9E0F9]"I love you too Ray. I want to spend the rest of my life here with you. Today just kind of hit me harder than most because it made me even more aware of how precious time really is. Life is so different now than it was years ago. I was telling Bea while you went to go get food how important days like today are where we can forget about trouble for a couple of days. We can't just keep surviving. We have to live too."[/color]

She calmed down a bit, wiped the remaining tears from her eyes before she took a deep breath and continued, [color=D9E0F9]"So yes, I do want to get married one day. Obviously, it's going to take a bit of planning all things considered, and I do think Tatiana and Jack should have their glory moment for a bit, but eventually yes. When the time is right."[/color]

Raymond simply just smiled at Tiffany as they talked, she was truly amazing. [color=lightblue]"I agree with you, the wedding was a great change from the usual days of just simply trying to survive."[/color] Ray said as he gave her a loving hug, he was more then willing to wait for whenever Tiffany was ready to get married. [color=lightblue]"I am more then willing to wait, and we could maybe talk to Meg about it as well since she planned the whole thing for Jack and Tati's big day today."[/color] Ray suggested as he leaned in and gave her another loving kiss.

Tiffany nodded. It was nice to hear that Ray shared her similar beliefs on marriage. It was also important for her to get it all out in the open. She mourned Zachary and it was time to move on. It had been time. Zachary would always be a part of her, but Ray filled what void she had and more. She couldn't imagine a life without him. [color=D9E0F9]"Yes, I agree. If it's anything like this wedding, ours will be amazing. Shall we head back?"[/color]

She stood up and waited for Ray so they could make their way back. There was still time to enjoy the rest of the night. Still time to live. She would walk step in step with him through it all. 

Ray smiled and gave Tiffany a nod, Meg did do really well with planning on the wedding, he stood up taking Tiffany's hand. [color=lightblue]"Lets head ack then love."[/color] He said as Ray gave her another loving kiss, he started walking back to the Rec Center alongside with Tiffany. They eventually made it back to the party. He was happy that they had their alone time to have their chat, and their thoughts on their future together.
