Lord have mercy. When I said that Jessie and Vergil were probably being tender outside I had no idea what was happening.
Vergil was asking Jessie to marry him under the biggest, most ancient oak in Lloyd.
He'd already asked Mr. Moon for her hand in marriage and I didn't know that either.

These men!

And she said yes. She said, YES!

He gave her those earrings that he bought two weeks ago in New York City.

And so it begins again. All of it.

We hugged in the kitchen, the four of us, and I was squished in the middle down at bosom level of everyone. It felt so very, very right.

Congratulations, Jessie and Vergil! May you love and be tender for as long as you both shall live.

Amen and so forth.

It is a very, very happy night here in Lloyd. A rightness has been done. And family has been expanded, redefined and there is more and move love which is the very best thing which can be.
