Spreading the Word [Thomas/Shannon, Everyone]

I slowly made my way out of the office, stopping in the hallway for a moment.

Shannon walked out as well, "Haylen, what is it?" she asked

I looked at her, flashing a small smile.
"Nothing." I said honestly. "Just feels good."

Shannon nodded, then smiled back at her, nodding slightly in the process

I nodded and then walked to Mac's office, luckily finding him inside and talked to him. Once he said his congratulations he said he was happy for me and offered help with anything if needed. I thanked him and promised he'd be invited to the wedding and then went to the break room, getting a cup of coffee.

Shannon was there already, sitting at the table closest to the window

"Hey again." I said as I walked to the counter and pour myself some coffee.

Shannon looked over at Haylen, "Hello" she replied, smiling a bit

I smiled a little and went over to her, my cup in my hands.
"Mind the company?"

"No, of course not" Shannon replied

I smiled a little and sat down, taking a sip of my coffee and was a little lost in thoughts about that day.

Shannon looked at her, "Something on your mind?" she asked

"Just thinking about the day I got enganged." I said with a smile. "Something nice to dwell on."

Shannon smiled, "Always something good to think about." she replied

I nodded with a smile.
"Definitely."

Shannon smiled and nodded, thinking back to the day Thomas proposed to her

"I like that smile on you, Shannon." I said, as I knew she was thinking about something nice.

"Thanks Haylen" Shannon replied before taking a sip of her drink

"You're welcome." I said and also took a sip of coffee.

Shannon nodded, "I'll never forget when Thomas proposed to me." she said

I smiled a little when she said that and nodded.
"I think it's something a woman never forgets." I said and then remembered when my mother told me about how she and dad met and when he asked her to marry him. She said the exact same thing.

Shannon nodded as well, smiling a bit at the memory of what Thomas did

I smiled a little and then something came to my mind. Something that lay a while back already.
"You know... when I stayed with Erin and Colleen, after that day at the cinema I was talking to her and..." I started looking at Shannon a little uncertain how to say it. "Well, throughout that conversation she asked if I could teach her self defense... I mean I know you could do that, too but..."

Shannon watched Haylen as she said that, "You want to teach her as well?" she asked

"If it's okay with you and she still wants me to... I wouldn't mind." I replied with a slight nod.
