Mike and Laura are more stunned than thrilled about their decision, and the fuss Laura's family makes doesn't help. When the farmhouse slips out of their grasp, the old despair seems poised to take over.
Mike has proposed and Laura accepted but it all seems rather an anti-climax and Laura is not exactly bursting with enthusiasm when her parents arrive to make plans for the wedding. To top it all Mike has been gazumped on the house he wanted to buy them - and Laura characteristically has disappeared. Fortunately Mike knows where to find her and how to say it with flowers to ensure that they will be happy ever after.—don @ minifie-1
