grabs your hand firmly You're coming with me, darling! Can't you see they all need to know?!
Why are you doing this, Dominic?
pulls out a small velvet box Because we're getting married, my love! opens the box to reveal a stunning diamond ring
marriage? You must be joking. I can't get married..I'm just not ready.
gently cups Grayson's face Darling, I understand that this might be a big step, but I've been thinking about our future together for so long.
takes a deep breath, looking into Grayson's eyes Look, I know you're not ready, but I want you to know that I'm not asking for your hand in marriage right now.
But you're proposing, Dominic. And this ring... it's too much. It’s like you’re trying to buy me with jewelry.
pauses, his eyes flickering with hurt Buy you with jewelry? his voice softens Oh, Grayson, I never meant it like that. This ring...
It's beautiful, Dominic. But it feels... overwhelming.
smiles softly, taking Grayson's hand I understand, my love. I didn't mean to overwhelm you. pauses How about we take things slow?
You…think I’ll accept you later?
leans in closer, his voice filled with sincerity Grayson, I know it may take time, but I'm willing to wait for you.
squeezes Grayson's hand Thank you, my love. I promise you won't regret it. kisses the back of Grayson's hand Let's take this one step at a time.
stands up and pulls Grayson into a warm embrace I'm so happy, my love. We're going to make this work, together.
pulls away from the embrace and holds Grayson's hand Now, let's go for a walk. Just the two of us. We need some time to talk and figure things out. What do you say, darling?
leads Grayson outside for a stroll So, my love, tell me about your dreams. What do you hope for our future together?
looks away I don’t know..I’d be scared to share my dreams.
stops walking and gently turns to face Grayson Oh, my dear, you don't have to be scared. I'm here for you, always.
lifts Grayson's chin with his fingers No, don't apologize. It's perfectly normal to feel scared or uncertain.
smiles warmly I'm glad you understand, my love. Remember, we're in this together. We'll face every challenge side by side.
pulls Grayson into a tight hug I love you, my brave heart. You're stronger than you think. We'll overcome every obstacle together.
