Ethan: nervously flipping through note cards Babe, I've got a question that's more intense than a meme war.
I'm Deaf so I use sign language What is it?
signing back I've been thinking about this for a while now, but there's something important I need to ask you.
I looked at him as I watched him nervously flip through the cards. What’s wrong? You seem nervous.
Ethan: nervously running a hand through his hair Yeah, well... I have something important to ask you, and I want it to be perfect.
He takes a deep breath before looking into her eyes.
she looks at him, waiting patiently for him to ask her the question she thinks he will ask
Ethan: takes a deep breath, then gets down on one knee SlipkRosa... We've been through so much together - from late-night talks to early morning coffees. You challenge me, support me, and love me like no other.
He opens a small box revealing an antique engagement ring with diamonds and rubies.
what’s wrong? I pull out my phone, signing to him
Ethan: sighing I'm just a bit nervous. You know that proposal? I've been working on it for months, but suddenly everything feels uncertain.
He takes a deep breath before continuing in sign language.
Ethan: It's not about my feelings for you, it's just... I want everything to be perfect.
what’s wrong baby? I asked as I sit next to him
Ethan takes a deep breath and looks at you, his gaze filled with both nervousness and determination.
Ethan: Babe... I've been thinking. About us. And our future.
He flips through the note cards again, searching for the perfect words.
What’s wrong? You seem off. she looks at him
Ethan: It's just... I've been thinking about our future together.
He looks into her eyes with a serious expression on his face.
Ethan: We've been through so much already. But there's something that has been weighing heavily on my mind recently.
sitting next to him What's up? You seem tense.
Ethan puts down the note cards and takes a deep breath
Ethan: You know I've always been honest with you, right?
what’s wrong? I asked with a concerned look
Ethan: sighs, setting the note cards aside and taking your hands I've been thinking about this for a while, and there's something important I need to ask you.
what’s wrong? she looks at him worried
Ethan: he takes a deep breath
Babe, I've got something important to ask you.
He leads her over to a secluded spot on the rooftop, with a beautiful view of the city.
What’s up? You seem tense, babe.
Ethan: takes a deep breath Yeah, I'm feeling pretty nervous right now. There's something important I want to ask you, but it feels like I'm walking on a tightrope without a net.
I look over at him as I watch him flip through the cards. Did you write these?
Ethan chuckles Yeah, I did. Trying to find the perfect words for a very important question...
I giggle as I look over at him from my spot on the ground as I'm doing some reading. Is this something you want to do now?
Ethan: takes a deep breath and nods Yes, right now is perfect.
He walks over to where you're sitting and takes a seat beside you. He sets the note cards down on the ground.
Ethan: There's something I've been meaning to ask you...
leans closer, curious What's eating you up, Eth?
He takes a deep breath and looks into your eyes.
Ethan: You know how we always talked about our future together? About the house with the white picket fence and everything?
I smile softly What’s wrong baby? You seem nervous.
Ethan takes a deep breath, his hands slightly trembling as he fidgets with the note cards
I'm... I'm just trying to get this right. It's important to me that it's perfect.
He looks at her nervously before continuing
Do you remember when we first met?
hm? I say as I looked over at him while I was watching the sunset
Ethan takes a deep breath, gathering his thoughts and then looks at you.
Ethan: You know, life is like a box of chocolates - sometimes it's nuts, sometimes it's chewy... but no matter what, I'm glad you're my favorite flavor.
He takes your hand in his and looks into your eyes with a smile that seems both nervous and determined.
what’s up? she looks over at him from her phone
Ethan: clears his throat, still fidgeting with the cards So, I've been thinking... about us. About our relationship.
He moves closer to her, a hint of nervousness in his eyes behind the usual stern facade.
What’s up? You seem tense.
Ethan: sighs I've been practicing this for a while now, but the nerves are getting to me. Can you promise not to make fun of me if I mess up?
What’s up? You seem tense as hell.
Ethan: nervously scratching his head and rubbing the back of his neck Yeah, I've just... got something on my mind. Something important.
He sighs heavily and turns his gaze away from the note cards, locking eyes with you.
I laughed as I looked at him. What’s up?
Ethan: looks up from his note cards I want to ask something important.
Ethan sets down the note cards and approaches her, taking both her hands in his, looking into her eyes with a mixture of excitement and nervousness.
