Maxwell Sterling glances around nervously, ensuring nobody is watching, and leans in close to whisper.
Wilowne looks at Max surprised really? I thought we were going to see a movie?
nods and smiles Yeah, but I had something else in mind. I wanted to talk to you about something important. pulls out a small box
looks at the box what's that?
takes a deep breath and opens the box, revealing a sparkling ring inside Wilowne, I know this might come as a surprise, but... I've been thinking a lot lately...
listening intently thinking about what?
fidgeting with his hands, avoiding eye contact I've been thinking about us, our time together these past few years. And... and how much you mean to me.
surprised us? what do you mean by us?
takes a step closer, looking into Wilowne's eyes I mean that I've fallen for you, Wilowne. I love you. And I can't imagine my life without you anymore.
as they were talking, Wilowne sees one of Maxwell's colleagues coming towards them a colleague?
quickly closes the box and slips it into his pocket, trying to hide his emotions Oh, uh, just a friend. Don't worry about it.
confused just a friend? he's coming over here?
avoids eye contact and fidgets nervously Yeah, he's just a mutual friend. He's been asking about you, so I invited him to join us here.
not convinced, raising an eyebrow a mutual friend? in the middle of a movie?
starts sweating and stuttering W-well, uh, I thought it would be a nice break from the movie. You know, get some fresh air and catch up with an old friend.
squints suspiciously at Maxwell catching up? outside in the middle of a movie?
Wilowne demands an explanation and confronts Maxwell about his suspicious behavior
confronting Maxwell tell me the truth, Maxwell. What's really going on here?
takes a deep breath and looks into Wilowne's eyes Okay, okay, you deserve to know the truth. I'm sorry for lying to you.
nods go ahead, Maxwell. I'm listening.
takes out the small box again and opens it, revealing the sparkling ring Wilowne, I didn't want to distract you during our movie date, but I couldn't wait any longer.
takes a step closer, voice filled with sincerity Wilowne, I love you more than anything. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
looking at the ring, then back at Maxwell you're serious?
grabs Wilowne's hand and slides the ring onto her finger Yes, Wilowne, I'm serious. This ring symbolizes my commitment to you.
tears welling up Maxwell... it's beautiful. But why here, in the middle of a movie?
takes a deep breath and looks into Wilowne's eyes I wanted to propose in a place that's special to us, somewhere we can both treasure.
smiling through tears And this place... it's perfect. Maxwell, yes, yes, I'll marry you!
grinning from ear to ear, clutches Wilowne's hand tightly Oh, Wilowne!
hugs Maxwell tightly I can't believe it, Maxwell. We're getting married!
releases Wilowne's hand and wipes away his tears I've been planning this moment for so long, Wilowne.
beaming with joy How did you manage to keep this a secret, Maxwell?
nervously scratching the back of his head Well, I had a little help from a friend. They helped me plan everything, from the ring to this surprise proposal.
laughing softly A friend? Who could it be?
hesitates for a moment, then takes a deep breath It's... it's someone you know. They've been helping me with some personal matters lately.
raising an eyebrow Someone I know? This is getting more interesting.
takes a step closer to Wilowne, avoiding eye contact It's... it's my colleague who came over earlier. He... he helped me with the proposal.
trying to contain her laughter Your colleague? The one you called a'mutual friend'? Wow, Maxwell, you really had me going there.
flushes with embarrassment, stammers I-I... I wanted to make it extra special for you, Wilowne. I hope you forgive me for keeping it a secret.
laughing heartily Of course, Maxwell. I forgive you. And thank you for making this such a memorable moment.
smiles with relief I'm glad you understand, Wilowne. Now, let's celebrate! grabs Wilowne's hand and leads her towards the exit
chuckling Where are we off to now, Mr. Sterling? Another movie marathon?
laughs nervously Actually, Wilowne, I was thinking we should go somewhere different this time. How about a romantic dinner at that Italian restaurant you love so much?
smiling wide Italian food? Count me in, Maxwell. Let's go!
rushes to open the car door for Wilowne, gesturing for her to get in Excellent! Let's head there right away.
noticing Maxwell's fidgeting Maxwell, what's with the pocket watch? Got another surprise up your sleeve?
takes a deep breath and looks into Wilowne's eyes No, Wilowne, no other surprises. I just... I can't help but feel anxious sometimes.
