CHAPTER -10-
THE ENGAGEMENT...
A couple of months have passed and my love for Maxime was getting stronger and stronger.  Tonight was our engagement party.  We were having dinner just the 2 of us, while Adele was taking a nap.
After serving the dinner, Edgar and Maggie came to talk to us.
_Miss Sophie, we would like to offer our congratulations to you and Mr. Maxime.  We are very happy for you.
_Thanks Maggie,thanks Edward. 
They both knew that after the marriage Maxime will come and live here..His brother being the oldest, will be the one to inherit the family home.
The guests started to arrive around 7:00 pm.  We expected to be around 100 peoples to celebrate our engagement.  This evening was also the end of my mourning period.
The flowers were in bloom, garden was lighted.  It was the perfect night, another magic night for me.  For the last months my life has not been anything else but magic.
The party was going on with music and dance, aunt Sarah invited Maxime for a dance LOL...Everybody was enjoying themselves. 
Another from Terri...all the walls and floors for this chapter have been made by her..thank you.
Time to eat, we had a great buffet.  Aunt Sarah took care of everything. I will remember that evening for the rest of my life. Aunt Sarah is like a second mother to me. I owe her so much.
Adele's dress and little boy victorian clothes..also by TERRI
We officially go engaged at midnight.  In a few months i will be Maxime's wife.
I can't wait to be with him all the time.  Adele was watching us with a very proud little face. We then get back to the dance floor and i stayed in Maxime's arm for the next dances...
The guests have left, aunt Sarah retired in her room.  Adele felt a sleep.  She had more than she could take LOL..Maxime proposed to me to bring her into her bed.
Goodnight my love, Maxime is holding me in his arms...just before leaving, i so really wish that this evening would never end....But soon..we will be together for the rest of our life.
