Chapter 46: Spencer?

Spencer

I'm engaged.

I'm about to be Mrs, Hastings-Cavanaugh. The dream I had ever since I was 15.

I feel so giddy.

Although everything around us is a mess it's still nice to have this little bubble I live in where everything is perfect.

I love that my mom and Mary were able to be together for my moment.

My mom refuses to talk to Mary, I wish they would talk, they were friends at one point.

Maybe with time.

But being all together was nice. 

I ran to the brew to get some coffees and sweets for tonight, Mary asked if we could have dinner, she said she has someone for me to meet so I'm assuming it's a special man.

Of course i run into Marco

"Hey Spencer" he smiles

"Hello Marco" i say as i pick up the coffee and dessert boxes I got.

"Congrats" he nods towards the ring

"Thanks" i shuffle awkwardly

"Need some help?" He asks

"No" I shake my head "I've got it thanks" I say before walking towards the door

"Just a question. You aren't planning on leaving rosewood any time soon are you?"

"No...why?"

"Good... It'll just make it easier that you are all here."

"What's that supposed to mean?" I ask

"Listen hun, I'm really trying to protect you here, but until you're completely honest with me I can't protect you from everything." He whispers, stepping closer to me

"What would I need protecting for?"

"You didn't hear it from me" he sighs "Hanna is about to get her house searched, your house is a possibility. They don't trust Hanna's story, and they feel like you would've panicked if someone threatened to have someone you cared about so they are looking to search yours too. They want you to stay local. They are even planning to offer you a plea deal if they find you've done it. Because he tried to kill you. If it comes down to it Spencer, for your fiancé, for your kids, and for our baby, you gotta do what's gonna clear you" he says as he places his hand on my stomach

"I--- I've gotta go" I mutter before turning ti the door

He sighs and opens it for me.

"Gotta enjoy the coffee while you can" he nods and i stare at him before quickly leaving the brew

------

"Next Saturday, engagement party!" i yell as i walk into the house

"What?" Toby asks

"Marco was at the brew and said something about us not leaving rosewood to make it easier for them and when i said i had to go he said 'gotta enjoy that coffee while you can' so i want an engagement party as soon as possible so at least i'll have that if we don't make it around for the wedding." i say honestly

"It's not gonna happen that fast babe."

"I don't care! I finally get my happy ending and I'll be damned if I don't get at least one party out of it!"

"Alright my love,We will work this out. If That's what you want. We will do it" Toby smiles

"Good" I smile back as I kiss him "now let's just focus on tonight. It's gotta be a potential suitor right? Like who else would she bring for me to meet?" I question
