Waiting on a Knight in Gold Armor
Not long after breaking the connection from Riley and Max, Dinah has set a land-speed record for getting ready for a date. A short time later, she was waiting outside the restaurant for Riley.

She checked her watch.

For the third time.

"You'd think time travelers would know not to be late..." she muttered.

She really hoped Riley hadn't done anything crazy with Max.

...Okay, he probably hadn't.

Probably.

	"Oh my God, Ri..." she began. "This is... this is wonderful!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Riley is, by now, out of his seat and on one knee. He takes out another box and opens it for Dinah to see. Inside is a ring that should have burned up in a crashing spaceship a few centuries in the future.

"I'm sorry that I don't have any kind of speech for us to look back at and laugh at later. You just make all of the details fall away.

Dinah Kord, will you marry me?"

...yeabutwut?

Dinah's eyes went wide, and her heart seemed to skip a beat.

They'd been best friends since they were in diapers. There was no one who knew her better. Through thick and thin and time travel and zombies and everything in between, they'd stood by each other. It had taken them far too long to realize that that they were more than friends, that they were soulmates.

"Oh, Ri... yes. A thousand times yes."

	Riley slips the ring on her finger, with maybe a little bit of effort (note to self: resize it later), then just reaches up and takes her face in his hands and kisses her. A few nearby tables offer polite applause. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinah held that kiss for a long time. "Here's to infinite possibilities, Ri." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You could call it that." Riley grins, holding her face and nuzzling his forehead to hers. "...so... who do we tell first?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, my mom probably already knows. I swear, she knows stuff before I ever think of it." She smiled. "Avs? Petra? Cindy? The girls will spread it to the four corners before you can blink." And a giggle. "Of course, I'm interested to see how Dad's gonna react..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smiles, finally letting himself part from her enough to return to his seat, as he gets out his phone. "Let's call your mom first. She'll conference in my parents. Cindy after that. We'll break the news to the team next time we get them in one place with pizza." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good plan," Dinah agreed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Riley dials his phone, then sets it down on the table between him and Dinah, on speaker. "Hey, Aunt Babs? You and Uncle Ted busy right now?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
