Leap Year Page #6

Yeah, well, it's the chancers

and cheats that you have to watch out for.

She's here,

isn't she?

In Dublin.

One of the chancers and cheats.

The blonde in the photo.

Who was the guy?

Oh!

So him and her...

Right.

Sorry.

We were all running

the Caragh together, me, Kaleigh, Ryan.

So we bought the pub

and built it up from nothing.

We really got it going.

l mean, we were flying.

And l thought

that me and Kaleigh were mad for each other.

Apparently not.

So that thing I'd grab

if l had 60 seconds,

it's my mother's

Claddagh ring.

You know, the ones

with the two hands holding the crowned heart.

Mmm-hmm.

Well, she's got it.

Well, you're here now.

You should find her and get it back.

l don't know.

It's your mother's ring.

Anyway, l thought

it was your ring

we were meant to be

worrying about.

Diddly-eye.

Oh, yeah. Right.

Well, I'm glad to see

you're finally on board.

It has nothing to do with me.

I'm just the old bag carrier around here.

Why should l care?

So you don't?

Would it make

a difference?

Come on.

So.

So.

Here.

Nah, it's okay.

Declan, take it.

We had a deal. Please?

Tell you what. Why don't you just give

me that one bob and we'll call it a day?

Which one bob?

The one we flipped

for the bed.

Yeah.

Liar.

Well, best of luck.

Yeah.

So long, Louis.

Anna.

Yes?

Anna! Anna!

Hi! Finally. God.

l thought l was gonna have to

call a helicopter rescue team to come get you.

Where have you been? Hi.

Hey.

Long story.

Sorry.

It's good

to see you.

You okay? Yeah?

Mmm. Yeah.

Hi.

I'm sorry,

do l know you?

Oh!

Jeremy, this is Declan.

Declan drove...

He helped me get

from Dingle to Dublin.

Oh! Okay. Yeah, yeah,

yeah. Yeah, well, l don't envy that job.

This lady is not

big on adventure.

No.

Nice to meet you, bro.

Nice to meet you.

Yeah. Yeah.

So did she

take care of you?

Did you tip him?

Oh!

She paid me.

Great. Well, thanks for

getting her home safe.

Oh, God, l missed you!

l missed you! l missed you! l missed you!

l missed you, too.

No, l really

missed you.

l did. And...

And it got me thinking.

Why aren't we married?

Will you marry me?

Are you serious?

Am l serious? Yeah.

Well, I'm down on my knee. l...

l got this.

No pressure,

but it's all on camera.

Sweetheart.

Sweetheart.

Sweetie?

l... Were you supposed

to give me an answer?

Yes. Of course.

Yeah?

Yes.

Okay.

Let's try this on.

Ah! It fits!

l have champagne

waiting in the room,

so we should go on up.

Great.

Thank you.

l never thought

I'd see you in Dublin.

Declan.

Kaleigh.

There you go.

And there's pints. They're on the way.

Thank you!

You are saving the pub.

You're keeping

the pans in the kitchen. l will kiss you later.

Congratulations! Hi!

Let me see it!

Wow.

Mmm.

Dekko.

Tom. There you are.

You're short.

But not by much.

Sorry. Come on, lads!

Oh, my God,

look at this place!

Do you like it?

Do l like it?

l want to throw you

out of your own window and take it.

Hold on a minute there.

You can show us the color

of your wallet for a change.

That's all.

Drinks on the house!

l feel like your

whole happy ending

is gonna be a real test

for our friendship.

I'm pretty sure

she would have been happy

with just this apartment.

l don't think you needed to propose.

Oh! It was kind of

a package deal.

Really?

What, buy an apartment, they throw in a ring?

More like

the other way around.

What do you mean?

Well, l think it was

Edith, from the board.

She called me in Dublin,

probing about our marital status.

Can you believe that?

Nothing specific, just interested, you know?

Like the residents,

they're kind of old-fashioned

when it comes to

issues like this. Blah, blah, blah.

l got the message.

Married, you're in. Unmarried, you're not.

So l just said

we were hours away from getting engaged.

l just said it

and it came out.

And l don't know

where it came from,

but l could

almost hear them cutting our keys.

So l put down the phone

and thought, "Well,

"why the hell not,

you know?"

Really?

Sure. l mean,

we'd have gotten around

to it eventually, right?

Right. Of course.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, Libby, l want

to show you this view.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's gorgeous.

Okay.

Is that the fire alarm?

Really?

Okay, everybody,

l guess we'd better take this party downstairs.

The phones.

Where is the remote

for this thing?

These things are useless

without the remote. Anna!

Do you have

everything you need?

Can you just look

around for valuables?

For laptops,

cameras, whatever.

l think the cameras...

Okay, here's the video camera.

l still haven't

put the proposal up on Facebook,

so let me get that.

Oh, sweetie,

can you get the...

Anna?

Anna?

We have one

minestrone soup, two quiche,

one pie beef,

one pie chicken, one green salad. Go, go, go.

Dekko?

Uh-huh!

A customer said

the chicken's dry.

The what's what?

The chicken.

It's dry.

It's a pie.

It's delicious.

Alex, you're in charge.

Don't blow anything up.

All right, which one of you

bollockses thinks my chicken's dry?

You?

You?

Me.

What the hell

are you doing here?

Could you maybe be nice

for just a second?

l did fly

3, miles to get here.

Is Jeremy with you?

What? No! No.

Jeremy and l...

It didn't work out.

Sorry.

J:

Well

when my 60 seconds

came around, l realized

l had everything

l ever wanted

but nothing

l really needed.

And l think that

what l need is here.

And l came all this way

to see if maybe you might think so, too.

And if you do...

Well, l don't really

have any plans past that, which is new for me.

So,

Declan O'Callaghan,

and l should probably

learn your middle name,

here is my proposal.

l propose

we not make plans.

l propose we give

this thing a chance

and let it work out

how it works out.

So what do you say?

Do you want to

not make plans with me?

l guess

that's an Irish no.

Mrs. O'Bradycallaghan.

Where the hell

are you going?

You said no.

l didn't say no.

l didn't say anything.

You walked away.

l was getting something.

Really? That was

a good time to go get something?

Well, yeah,

it was, actually.

l was getting this.

You big idiot.

l wouldn't be

holding this ring if it weren't for you.

l reject your proposal.

l don't want to

not make plans with you.

l want to make

plans with you.

You do?

Yeah. l do.

Will you marry me?

In all my life,

l never thought I'd see you down on one knee.

Yeah, it's getting

a bit damp down here, so...

What's it to be,

Anna from Boston?

Yes.

Yes, l will.

I'm so relieved.

For a minute there,

l thought l wasn't

gonna have a place to stay tonight.

What?

You think

you're staying with me?

This might cost you.

Put it on my bill.

Would you

Look at that!

On a Sunday, no less.

It's good luck to get engaged on a Sunday.

And end a journey.

Aye, and dig a well.

Idiot! Do they look like

they're digging a well?

You know what

I'm talking about.

l never know

what you're talking about.
