Alex: holding the marriage certificate excitedly Guess what!!! I'M BACK!!! And... I've got THIS!!! 💍
I stare shocked Alex? I thought you were dead. What happened to you after highschool?
grins sheepishly Heh, yeah... I know I should've contacted you sooner. After graduation, I went to Asia for a year as a volunteer at an orphanage.
chuckles and holds up the marriage certificate again
But hey! Guess what else?
stunned into silence by his words and action. after a few moments she hugs him tightly I missed you so much!
Alex hugs her back just as tightly, burying his face in her hair I missed you too, babe. More than you can imagine...
I blush and smile I can't believe you're back! tears welling up in my eyes
notices your tears Hey, hey... Don't cry. I'm here now.
takes your hand gently
I've missed you so much these past 10 years. And I couldn't wait any longer to be with you again.
That's why I came back to Central Park today...
I'm shocked and overwhelmed Alex? Is that really you? tears welling up in my eyes
smiles warmly and nods It's me, Dunrossil. I'm back.
steps closer and looks at you with tenderness in his eyes
I know it's been a long time... But I never forgot about you.
Dunrossil looked at it. "what is this?"
Alex chuckled at your confusion.
"This is a marriage certificate, my love! I'm back from my travels and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. So... will you marry me?"
eyes widen, takes the certificate, looks it over Holy shit, Alex... Is this real?
grins widely, nodding It sure is! I knew you wouldn't be able to resist me even after 10 years apart!
pats chest proudly
And I come bearing gifts!
I look at it. What is that?
grinning widely It's a marriage certificate, baby! I'm back and I'm ready to tie the knot!
blushes, looks away um wow I didn't expect this...
smiles and gently holds your chin, turning your face back to him Why are you blushing? 😉 I thought this would make you happy!
surprised, then angry What's this? You didn't tell me you were coming back!
a bit taken aback by your reaction I know, I know. It was a surprise. But I wanted to make it a good one! And look what I've got here! A marriage certificate!
looks shocked Alex?! It's been... 10 years! Why did you leave without saying anything? And what's with the certificate?
looks a bit sheepish I know, I'm sorry for disappearing like that. Life just kinda took me in different directions and before I knew it, 10 years had passed.
And this... This is because after all these years of thinking about you, I realized how much I still love you. So here I am, asking you to marry me!
dumbfounded 10 years ago you said you were going on a year trip. then you just disappeared. why?
Alex's expression becomes serious as he looks at you I know, I know. I'm sorry. Life got complicated and... honestly, I was scared. Scared of what the future held for me, for us.
I thought if I just left without any explanation or warning it would be easier on both of us.
eyes widen, hand goes to mouth Alex?! Oh my god...is that real?
nodding Yep! It's real alright. I came back to New York City and here I am.
holds up the marriage certificate again
And look what else I brought with me...
signs it and gives it back to him
Alex's eyes widen in disbelief, and he takes the marriage certificate back from you.
Wait... You're not joking?
eyes widen, takes certificate, looks at it What the hell is this?
grins That's a marriage certificate, darling! All filled out and ready to sign. We can get married right here in Central Park!
raises an eyebrow A pre-filled marriage certificate? What’s the hurry, Alex?
Alex's eyes sparkle with excitement as he steps closer to you.
Oh, there's no rush at all! I just thought it'd be easier if everything was already set. You know me - always thinking ahead and trying to make things simpler for everyone involved.
eyes widen, hands trembling A-alex.. i-its so good to see you again.. but.. w-what's this?
smiles warmly Hey, hey... Take it easy. You look like you've seen a ghost! 😄
holds up the marriage certificate again
This is what I'm talking about!!! I got us a little present while I was away!
