Lucas: Takes a deep breath, looking at the garden D-do you... think you could b-be my... m-my wife?
I think I am going to cry
blinks in surprise, a mix of hope and uncertainty crossing his features I-I didn't expect... an answer so soon... Are you... are you saying yes?
I have been waiting for this moment
takes a step closer, a small smile playing on his lips Y-you have? That... that warms my heart... I... I never thought... someone would want to be with me... not just for my intelligence... but for who I am...
tears streaming down her face Yes, Lucas. Not despite your flaws, but because of them. I want to love you, warts and all.
reaches out and gently takes MoonlightGuitar's hand T-thank you... thank you so much. It means... more to me than you'll ever know.
I will stand by your side
squeezes her hand, a mixture of relief and joy on his face Thank you, MoonlightGuitar. Your acceptance means everything to me.
pauses, taking a deep breath B-but before we can move forward... there's something you need to know about me. It's... it's not easy being me.
What do you mean by that?
takes a step closer, his voice soft and vulnerable I... I have a condition. It's called... Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder.
swallows nervously, his fingers tapping against his thigh It can be... challenging at times.
takes a deep breath, his voice shaky Th-thank you for understanding. It's just that... sometimes I get caught up in my thoughts, routines, and rituals...
And I will be there to help you through it
nods gratefully, tears welling up in his eyes Th-thank you... You have no idea how much this means to me. I...
cups his hands over his face, letting out a shaky sob I... I don't know how to express my gratitude... It's just... it's overwhelming...
sniffles and wipes away his tears S-sorry... I'm just... so grateful and relieved. I never thought I'd find someone who would accept me for who I truly am...
