Your writing is wonderful. You could probably just write Mary and Matthew sitting at the table drinking coffee and passing food to one another and it will sound wonderful!
But this chapter, you really captured Mary's emotional mood here. How it goes up and down. I also love the interaction with Isobel. I love that the two women can support each other through such a time.
And Mary holding his hand. Describing how it feels. That part got to me a bit.
Oh and finally, good job in reminding us the dress she wore when Matthew first proposed is a dress she still wears. I can't help but wonder, did it become her favorite unconsciously because of that proposal.

HAHA! You better not challenge me like that - I may just do so. Thinking about it, I could always do something with the next chapter of my ice cream fic... ;-)
I'm glad you liked Mary's reactions here - it's just how I see her behaving in this sort of situation - and hopefully sort of how she appeared on the show (though the situations were a bit different). And I love writing Mary and Isobel - I think they make such a great team where Matthew is concerned - the two most important women in his life! ;-)
And yeah, I like to think there's a good reason why that dress is her favourite... ;-)
