[There's a little bit of a laugh there - expressing her feelings has gotten harder over time... but her heart feels warm in this moment from Grell's concern.]
... да. It is what Auntie says. Anya will call when I need to.
But that is not what you called about, is it? Did you have something new for Anya?
[She deflects - just a little. She doesn't think she's ready to talk about it right now. Not entirely sure when she will be....
[and Grell laughs, happy that Anya's happy with the news. she knows Anya had been concerned back when Ardyn had just been joking about marriage, but now...now it was real.]
We haven't thought about a wedding yet, there's more than enough time for that and you'll be told when we do - just a future someday. And there's not a ring yet because we didn't plan for it. More that it simply came up when we chose to share our hearts. When we do it over, properly romantic, there will be one.
[There's a bit of a laugh at that, but she shares in Grell's giddiness. There's no hesitation in the way that she unflinchingly supports her auntie? Listen, love is alive and well and if Grell found it then that means more to her than anything else.]
A future....
Mm. Good. [She also remembers being the one to text Ardyn about it way back when...] He is a good man. You are wonderful.
Bместе... Together is a very good future for you both. Spontaneous because it is meant to be? That sounds like something Auntie would do.
You think so? It took me a few days to really accept that it was all real.
[which is why she hadn't told Anya immediately....it needed to sink in.]
But I can't care that it wasn't planned. It feels exactly as it should be - that if we're going to talk about forever, this is just a natural part of it.

Later, maybe.

[even if it was news she felt almost bad about sharing, from that pang of love and concern, she can't keep it from her niece. would never, actually.]
no subject
[No hesitation. Anya perks up immediately.]
Always! I want to know every good thing that happens to Auntie.
no subject
[then she'll heed Anya's wishes. perhaps the news will cheer her a little instead, to know love still exists.]
I'm engaged now, Anya. Ardyn asked to marry me.

It is meant for you.
