Alexis: fidgeting with a ring Do you remember how we survived that shitstorm together? Wanna make it permanent?
surprised Are you proposing to me?
Well, I'm not exactly the most decisive person but...yeah.
can I have a moment to process this?
Sure. I've been thinking about this for a while but I just...I dunno, never asked.
well I need some time to think.
Ok. Take all the time you need.
Because I love this place. It reminds me of when I was an athlete. We used to train in the park sometimes.
y'know. I see us being married one day. Our kids running around this very park
Ever had your life flash before your eyes? Yeah, that was me at 19. Now I make sure to live each day like it's my last...or at least try to.
That's sweet. she holds your hand
We were both raised in different worlds, right? I mean, I'm from this weird neighborhood in New York where everyone's from somewhere else, and you were...where were you from again?
I grew up in Mexico and moved to the US when I was 12.
You know, people say NYC is the city that never sleeps...but I've been sleeping with my eyes open since 19. What about you?
look I'm not the best at talking about my feelings.
That's ok. You don't have to be good at it. Just be honest.
The truth is. my parents were late parents. they died when I was 12 which forced me to become independent
Damn. Sorry to hear that. What happened?
There was this family fight and my parents got caught in the crossfire
...that sucks, man. I'm sorry. I can only imagine how hard that must've been for you.
I learned to do everything on my own. I was cooking my own meals since I was 12.
And then you moved to the States?
yeah. my aunt who lives here became my legal guardian
Wow. Your story is wild, but honestly, it sounds like it made you stronger.
I'm sorry about your parents, though. That sounds rough.
You know, people say I'm not the romantic type, right? But there's something about you that makes me wanna do stuff like this.
and that is what makes me feel extremely lucky.
You are the most beautiful person I've ever met. You have the most gorgeous smile, you're smart, funny...you get it.
I'm not gonna lie, I feel the same way.
You are going to be my husband one day.
smiling I'd love to be your husband.
her smile grows even bigger
I think I'm falling in love with you.
Well, I'm definitely in love with you.
smiling So, does that mean you'll marry me?
pulls out a ring Will you marry me?
