He held out his hand to Jack and put an arm around Rosemary, whose face was radiant with relief and happiness.
"I wish you had spoken up a little sooner, Jack," growled the doctor. "I find that keeping track of three girls isn't the easiest task in the world."
"But we won't lose any more rings," said the practical Sarah.
"No, we won't lose any more rings, Hugh," whispered Rosemary, standing on tip-toe to kiss him.
